I am trying to run the GenieACS UI and bind it to an IPv4 address, but it always binds to IPv6 As a result, I cannot access the UI using [http://192.168.1.30:3000](http://192.168.1.30:3000).

OS: Ubuntu  
GenieACS Version: 1.2.13  
Network Interface Details:  
192.168.1.30

What I Have Tried:  
Set the GENIEACS\_UI\_HOSTNAME to 0.0.0.0

GENIEACS\_UI\_HOSTNAME=0.0.0.0 node /usr/local/bin/genieacs-ui  
But still, the logs show that the UI is binding to :: (IPv6).

Modified the systemd service file (/etc/systemd/system/genieacs-ui.service)

[Unit]  
Description=GenieACS UI  
After=network.target

[Service]  
User=genieacs  
EnvironmentFile=/opt/genieacs/genieacs.env  
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/genieacs-ui GENIEACS\_UI\_HOSTNAME=0.0.0.0

[Install]  
WantedBy=default.target  
Restarted the service, but still binds to IPv6 (::).  
Checked active bindings using netstat:

sudo netstat -tulnp | grep 3000  
tcp6 0 0 :::3000 :::\* LISTEN /node

This confirms that the UI is listening on IPv6 (::), not IPv4.  
Tried Explicitly Setting IPv4 Bind Address:

GENIEACS\_UI\_HOSTNAME=192.168.1.30 node /usr/local/bin/genieacs-ui  
Still binds to IPv6.  
Expected Outcome:  
I want GenieACS UI to listen on IPv4 (192.168.1.30:3000) so that I can access it from my browser.

Current Issue:  
UI binds only to IPv6 (:🙂  
[http://192.168.1.30:3000](http://192.168.1.30:3000) does not open in the browser

Thank you in advance
