VPS with both ipv4 and ipv6

Hi,

The IPV6 configuration is not clear to me and I need some information to know how to proceed.

My configuration:

I have a VPS with Artix linux, which currently only works in ipv4.

The provider gives me the following addresses:
Code: [Select]
IP: 178.18.255.58
IPv6: 2a02:c206:2121:997::1

I am using connmand and dhcpcd

The command
Code: [Select]
ip address
return:

Code: [Select]
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:50:56:4a:13:3c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 178.18.255.58/20 brd 178.18.255.255 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::250:56ff:fe4a:133c/64 scope link proto kernel_ll
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

My goal is to have a machine that is accessible in both ipv4 and ipv6.

My first question is whether I should have two interfaces, eth0 and eth1, or whether both addresses should be assigned to the same interface ?

At this point I'm lost, I don't know where to start.

I am using doc. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/IPv6

Thanks for advices
