I want the server to bind on an IPv6 address, and configured it like this:

[Server]
address = "[::1]"

However, this consistently fails with the following error message:

systemd[1]: Started Nitter (An alternative Twitter front-end).
nitter[216801]: Starting Nitter at http://nitter.example.org
nitter[216801]: Connected to Redis at localhost:6379
nitter[216801]: oserr.nim:95             raiseOSError
nitter[216801]: asyncfutures.nim:437     asyncCheckCallback
nitter[216801]: Error: unhandled exception: Additional info: Name or service not known [OSError]

I'm not sure what is happening from the error message here, other services that I configured to bind on the same address work just fine

nitter not support bind on ipv6 , because its underlying http framework jester not support that.
if you want to bind on ipv6 , you need to manually patch ~/.nimble/pkgs/jester-0.5.0/jester.nim

and in nitter.conf use ipv6 address without square brackets.
