Script do not work in docker environment

[extremelyonline]

Hi, I am using the docker image and ran docker run --rm --privileged --name smart-ipv6-rotator --network host quay.io/invidious/smart-ipv6-rotator:latest run --ipv6range=<IPV6RANGE>/64. It ran successfully the first time, but showed the following error subsequently. Is this error related to my network or to the docker image? Thank you.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The script stores a small database to remember what previous subnet it used: https://github.com/iv-org/smart-ipv6-rotator/blob/master/smart-ipv6-rotator.py#L64
In order to remove it for the next run.

Could you try this command instead:

docker run --rm --privileged -v /tmp/smart-ipv6-rotator.py:/tmp/smart-ipv6-rotator.py --name smart-ipv6-rotator --network host quay.io/invidious/smart-ipv6-rotator:latest run --ipv6range=<IPV6RANGE>/64

Before that you will need to cleanup the ipv6 subnets that were setup by the script or just reboot the machine.

Thanks. Unfortunately, that was not the problem. The error persisted after I both cleaned up the ipv6 subnets and reboot the machine.

Running the py in bare metal works. The issue is docker-specific.

The script works for me in docker using the command docker run --rm --privileged --name smart-ipv6-rotator --network host quay.io/invidious/smart-ipv6-rotator:latest run --ipv6range=<IPv6Range>::/64
This is the output:

[INFO] You have IPv6 connectivity. Continuing.
[INFO] No cleanup of previous setup needed.

@CDaut you need to store the database somewhere, this won't really work.
