Link to relevant page (if any): https://prosody.im/doc/ports What's wrong and how can it be improved? I find no mention of the options use_ipv6 and use_ipv4, which would probably make sense to have documented on this page. Should probably word it to recommend using those settings instead of changing `interfaces` to e.g. disable IPv4 in an IPv6-only environment or vice versa.

I've added this blurb at the end of the "Default interfaces" section: https://git.les-miquelots.net/prosody-patches/tree/doc_ports-document-useipv4-useipv6-option.patch

Thanks for the patch. When I wrote this, I was intending to rewrite the whole section to make it clearer when the `use_ipv` settings are more appropriate to use than `interfaces`, as it can currently be read to imply that `interfaces` could be used to disable IPv6 or IPv4 entirely, but it would be incomplete.

Re Zash, Thanks for the feedback. I've modified the patch, the use_ipv* are put first and marked as recommended.

Sorry for the delay. I'm not sure the patched text is accurate and I am uncomfortable with the word "recommended" anywhere near instructions for disabling IPv6. Sorry I can't describe what is wrong, if I could I would not have filed this issue.

Re Zash, No problem, I was busy too. I've dropped the recommends and worded use of the settings better imo. Thanks for the feedback!
