Comment:

 I've completed the move of tracsvn to osgeo7.
 I ran into an annoying stumbling block that took me hours to resolved.
 It seems our trac can handle ipv6 and when I moved nginx was passing its
 ipv6 address along which was preventing sessions in trac to be maintained.
 Try as I could I couldn't disable it in nginx.  So I disabled ipv6 in the
 nginx container itself by doing:

 By editing the file /etc/sysctl.conf in nginx container

 {{{
 net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
 }}}

 and then reloading with


 {{{
 sysctl -p
 }}}

 That seemed to fix the issue.  I was hoping to have apache automatically
 pick up the forwarded address, but it seems we need mod_remote_ip for that
 which requires Apache 2.4 or higher and we are running apache 2.2.
