* Only bind loopback addresses when binding to local Today when binding to local (the default) we bind to any address that is a loopback address, or any address on an interface that declares itself as a loopback interface. Yet, not all addresses on loopback interfaces are loopback addresses. This arises on macOS where there is a link-local address assigned to the loopback interface (fe80::1%lo0) and in Docker services where virtual IPs of the service are assigned to the loopback interface (docker/libnetwork#1877). These situations cause problems: - because we do not handle the scope ID of a link-local address, we end up bound to an address for which publishing of that address does not allow that address to be reached (since we drop the scope) - the virtual IPs in the Docker situation are not loopback addresses, they are not link-local addresses, so we end up bound to interfaces that cause the bootstrap checks to be enforced even though the instance is only bound to local We address this by only binding to actual loopback addresses, and skip binding to any address on a loopback interface that is not a loopback address. This lets us simplify some code where in the bootstrap checks we were skipping link-local addresses, and in writing the ports file where we had to skip link-local addresses because again the formatting of them does not allow them to be connected to by another node (to be clear, they could be connected to via the scope-qualified address, but that information is not written out).
