Based on past experience with this issue in other projects, I would
propose this:
1. By default (rgw frontends=beast), we should bind to both IPv4 and
IPv6, if available.
2. Just specifying port (rgw frontends=beast port=8000) should apply to
both IPv4 and IPv6, if available.
3. If the user provides endpoint config, we should use only that
endpoint config. For example, if they provide only v4 addresses, we
should only bind to v4.
This should all be independent of the bindv6only setting; that is, we
should specifically bind our v4 and v6 addresses, and not depend on the
system to automatically bind v4 when binding v6.
In the case of 1 or 2, if the system has disabled either v4 or v6, this
should not be an error, as long as one of the two binds works. In the
case of 3, we should error out if any configured endpoint cannot be bound.
This should allow an orchestrator to confidently install a system,
knowing what will happen, without needing to know or manipulate the
bindv6only flag.
As for what happens if you specify an endpoint and a port, I don't have
a strong opinion. I see 2 reasonable possibilites:
a. Make it an error
b. Treat a port in this case as an endpoint of 0.0.0.0:port (v4-only)

Currently RGW's beast frontend supports ipv6 via the endpoint
configurable. The port option will bind to ipv4 _only_.

Since many Linux systems may default the sysconfig net.ipv6.bindv6only
flag to true, it usually means that specifying a v6 endpoint will bind
to both v4 and v6. But this also means that deployment systems must be
aware of this while configuring depending on whether both v4 and v6
endpoints need to work or not. Specifying both a v4 and v6 endpoint or a
port (v4) and endpoint with the same v6 port will currently lead to a
failure as the system would've already bound the v6 port to both v4 and
v6. This leaves us with a few options.
1. Keep the implicit behaviour as it is, document this, as systems are
already aware of sysconfig flags and will expect that at a v6 endpoint
will bind to both v4 and v6.
2. Be explicit with endpoints & configuration, Beast itself overrides
the socket option to bind both v4 and v6, which means that v6 endpoint
will bind to v6 *only* and binding to a v4 will need an explicit
specification. (there is a pr in progress for this:
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/27270)
Any more suggestions on how systems handle this are also welcome.
