IPv6 on eve-ng-docker not working

I am trying to lab up an OPSFv3 with a few routers and two eve-ng-server docker.

IPv4 works fine but IPv6 doesn't work.

root@PC1:~# ip -6 addr show
root@PC1:~#
root@PC1:~# ip r
default via 10.1.2.4 dev eth0
10.1.2.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.1.2.10
root@PC1:~# ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
72: eth0@if71: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 50:00:00:02:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff link-netnsid 0
inet 10.1.2.10/24 scope global eth0

root@PC1:~# ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:202::10/64 dev eth0
Error: ipv6: IPv6 is disabled on this device.
root@PC1:~#

The output show ipv6 is disabled on the docker container.

Any ideas on how to resolve this ?
