Server fails to bind localhost in container

[Hanaasagi]

From oven-sh/bun#5315

Reproduce

1. Edit examples/http_server.c

uSockets/examples/http_server.c

Line 123 in ac4e90e

struct us_listen_socket_t *listen_socket = us_socket_context_listen(SSL, http_context, 0, 3000, 0, sizeof(struct http_socket));

change to bind localhost:3000

        struct us_listen_socket_t *listen_socket = us_socket_context_listen(SSL, http_context, "localhost", 3000, 0, sizeof(struct http_socket));

2. Create a container using the debian:sid-slim image and then run the http_server. （docker has not been configured for IPv6 stack）

root@5b4095ebc3eb:/tmp/uSockets# ./http_server
Failed to listen!
root@5b4095ebc3eb:/tmp/uSockets# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
172.17.0.2      5b4095ebc3eb
root@5b4095ebc3eb:/tmp/uSockets# vim /etc/hosts  # Remove `::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback`
root@5b4095ebc3eb:/tmp/uSockets# ./http_server  # works now
Listening on port 3000...
^C

The server fails to bind, but if you remove ::1 from /etc/hosts, it starts successfully. It binds 127.0.0.1 now.

Regarding why there is still ::1 record present in the container even though IPv6 is not configured, please see moby/moby#35954
