The documentation found here https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/tcpip/README.md
lacks information about how IPv6 can be configured.
I think it should cover:

  • static IPv6
  • SLAAC IPv6 and
  • Statefull IPv6
    dhcpcd should be able to hand all of those, right?

Does #1318 cover what you're looking for?

No.
The user needs information on how to give a raspbian host an IPv6 address. In default settings it's doing SLAAC but what if it wants a static IPv6 address or use dhcpv6 client?

I have no idea how to do any of that, and don't have any time to acquire to required knowledge, so I would welcome a PR.

It is documented inside the /etc/dhcpcd.conf as comments.
Parts of that are included in my pull request. For dyndns I need a predictable/stable address.
