For the longest time I have had problems with getting Matter over Thread devices to communicate to my Homey SHS. I have a Apple homepod mini as a Thread border router and I can get thread devices to connect to it with no issues. I can even get Matter over WiFi devices to talk to my SHS with no difficulty.
Recently I upgraded my home router so I could get better visibility into the ipv4 and ipv6 networks and I found that my SHS Docker Container did not have an IPV6 address. I went and looked at my qnap and I saw where the virtual switch was obtaining an IPV6 address but the containers were not.
After more digging it seems that the virtual container interfaces cannot currently get ipv6 when running in bridge mode. The Homey instructions have the user use bridge mode when creating the docker container.
Has anyone been able to get ipv6 and by extension Matter over Thread working on a Homey SHS hosted on a QNAP Docker Container?
