Dear list,
I read here [1] that IPv6 is on the rise and support for it is growing. Are there any recommendations or best-practices how to configure a Tor relay with IPv6? Alternatively, could anybody who got it set up already, post their experiences and maybe even the relevant parts of their torrc?
Thanks!

Good day,
I was able to set this up on my four relays however it was a bit of a chore and a couple of relay operators provided a lot of helpful articles. From what I understand some of this depends on the host. My relays are running on Frantech and they don't offer support for this directly. Also I am running HardenedBSD which has a rather unique set up ( at least for me) the point I suppose might be this, offering insight into what Distribution you are running might help narrow this down. Once I got it to work on one relay the rest were fairly straightforward. I know this may not be exactly what you wanted but take this as encouragement, I am not as technical as most here ergo I would imagine if I can do it anyone can!
Best regards,
Dan

You must have been offline for a few years. :-)

I've never had an IPv4 only relay. Dualstack has been running great for years.
Some Hints: https://github.com/boldsuck/tor-relay-bootstrap/blob/master/etc/tor/torrc https://github.com/boldsuck/tor-relay-bootstrap/blob/master/etc/network/ interfaces
Since IPv4 are outrageously expensive¹ (especially RIPE Address Space), dear relay operators, please configure IPv6. Development must go to IPv6 only relays.
¹Hetzner started, everyone is following suit: https://docs.hetzner.com/general/others/ipv4-pricing/
