On Docker daemons with ipv6: false (the default on most Linux distros), Squid aborts with FATAL: http_port: IPv6 is not available because Docker injects net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 into the container network namespace and Squid treats the http_port [::]:3128 directive as fatal during config parse — before opening any log files.

Changes

  • containers/squid/entrypoint.sh: Before starting Squid, probe /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6. If IPv6 is disabled, strip all http_port [::]: lines from /etc/squid/squid.conf via sed so Squid starts normally. The dual-stack listener is preserved on hosts where IPv6 is available.
IPV6_DISABLED="$(cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6 2>/dev/null || echo 1)"
if [ "$IPV6_DISABLED" = "1" ]; then
  sed -i '/^http_port \[::\]:/d' /etc/squid/squid.conf
fi

This handles both the plain-proxy and SSL-bump port configs, which both emit http_port [::]:3128 unconditionally from src/squid-config.ts.

Pull request overview

This PR aims to prevent the Squid container from failing at startup on Docker daemons with IPv6 disabled by removing IPv6 http_port [::]:... listeners from squid.conf at container startup when IPv6 is unavailable.

Changes:

  • Detect IPv6 availability in the Squid container via /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6.
  • When IPv6 is disabled, edit /etc/squid/squid.conf to remove IPv6 http_port [::]:... listeners before launching Squid.

File Description
containers/squid/entrypoint.sh Adds an IPv6-disabled probe and attempts to strip IPv6 http_port listeners from squid.conf prior to starting Squid.

The sed deletion only removes a single http_port [::]:... line. In SSL Bump mode, the generated squid.conf has an IPv6 http_port [::]:3128 ssl-bump \\ line followed by indented continuation lines (cert=..., key=..., etc.); deleting just the http_port line would leave those continuation lines behind and break config parsing. Also, the SSL-bump http_port [::]:... line in the generated config is prefixed by whitespace, so the current ^http_port anchor likely won’t match and won’t prevent the original fatal error. Update the removal logic to (1) match optional leading whitespace and (2) remove the entire multi-line stanza for IPv6 http_port directives (the header line plus its continuation lines).

Suggested change
sed -i '/^http_port \[::\]:/d' /etc/squid/squid.conf
tmp_conf="$(mktemp)"
awk '
skip && /^[[:space:]]+/ { next }
skip { skip = 0 }
/^[[:space:]]*http_port \[::\]:/ { skip = 1; next }
{ print }
' /etc/squid/squid.conf > "$tmp_conf"
mv "$tmp_conf" /etc/squid/squid.conf

Smoke Test Results: GitHub Actions Services Connectivity

Check Result
Redis PING (host.docker.internal:6379) ❌ Failed — redis-cli not available; port unreachable (timeout)
PostgreSQL pg_isready (host.docker.internal:5432) ❌ Failed — no response (timeout)
PostgreSQL SELECT 1 via psql ❌ Failed — port unreachable

Summary: All 3 checks failed. host.docker.internal resolves to 172.17.0.1 but both ports 6379 and 5432 timed out. The redis-cli tool was also unavailable (package manager non-functional in this sandbox). The GitHub Actions service containers do not appear to be reachable from this environment.
