Hi Brian,
the IPv4 magic in LXC comes from the use of dnsmasq. According to what i
have read, you can configure dnsmasq to deal with dhcpv6 but i never
tried it. Maybe you can look on this side to reach your goal.

I am just learning ipv6 but as I understand it from my reading so far
similar solutions exist in ipv6 as for ipv4 such as dhcp6 etc.
There is "stateless address autoconfiguration"
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4862) and Neighbor Discovery protocol (NDP)
for ipv6 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861).
NDP seems to only be used on local link for address discovery but that would
seem appropriate for lxc container address assignments !
From what I understand so far IPv6 has two types of auto-configuration:
"Stateless auto-configuration" (the RFC mentioned above) which is intended
for small orgs & individual use. Because this method needs no "server" to
approve the use of an address its supposed to be simpler to implement.
It's intended to let a "host" propose an ipv6 address based on the ipv6
network prefix & the "host" interface MAC address (see EUI-64). This
assumes the result will be a unique ipv6 address (re no address conflicts).
"Stateful auto-configuration" uses the dhcp6 protocol. dhcp6 is called
"stateful” because both the dhcp6 "server" & the "client" have to keep state
information to insure no address conflicts occur & to manage
lease/lease-renewals.
I was hoping that either someone had used something in these areas to
implement an automatic local ipv6 address assignment to LXC containers
created on any one host or knew of a guide somewhere related to ipv6 & lxc.
Thanks for your reply!
Brian
