SS fails to bind ipv6 and adding user problem about cloak HOT 4 CLOSED

1. I'm not quite sure about the binding to UDP bit. Cloak doesn't listen to any UDP port and relies entirely on Shadowsocks for any UDP relay. Maybe you tried to bind to a protected UDP port as a non-root user, and since systemctl gives root privilege it solves the permission issue?
2. Yes it means the newly generated UID. It was worded weirdly. I'll fix that.
3. In the code I arbitrarily made UNLIMITED equal to 1e12 in ck-client so that the rate limiter will not do anything on the client side (this may be a bit too small now I think about it). In ck-server I think I made admin server to have 1e15 bytes of up and down credits. Again this is just arbitrary. When you are adding a new user, 0 is interpreted literally as 0 so you'll just have to put in a very big number that's smaller than 2^63-1.

It failed to bind to an IPv6 address because it's not properly square-bracketed. I mentioned it here. v1.1.0 has fixed this.

I'm not sure why it crashed since the log was incomplete, but it shouldn't have crashed because of some dubious input. I'll try to reproduce this.

Update: bind: Cannot assign requested address
ipv6 is not available when ss-libev tries to bind
Only after adding net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_dad = 0 in sysctl.conf did {Wants,After}=network-online.target work correctly and solve it.
Systemd in Ubuntu 19.04 is v240, which is not supposed to have this problem... systemd/systemd#2037 (comment)
Update2: Aaand... the binding error has quietly disappeared.

as you mention it did you already fixed this?

@malikshi Me? Kinda... I set those to 10^9 or 10^12 or 10^15 and it worked, ipv6 also works now in v1.1.0.
Binding error is not Cloak's problem, I tried reverting my config and service files to vanilla but still got it. I'm so confused... xD It seems that putting public ipv6 address in config.json causes it.
Yesterday after setting up Cloak I found out about this error, so I upgraded from Ubuntu 18.10 to 19.04 to get ss-libev 3.2.5 from Ubuntu packages. Maybe it's because of the development version Ubuntu.
Anyway I don't reboot often but I'll keep looking.
