Container fails to start properly if IPv6 disabled

[TheFiZi]

🪲 Describe the bug
With IPv6 disabled on my Docker host machine the apprise-api Docker container fails to start properly because it cannot bind to the non-existent [::]:8000 interface.

• OS: Rocky Linux 8.10 (Docker Host)
• Python Version: 3.11.0 (inside the container)

🔮 Additional context
Disable IPv6 on a your Docker Host machine
Try to start the container

I think the underlying issue is that /opt/apprise/webapp/gunicorn.conf.py has '[::]:8000' and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default has listen [::]:80 default_server; defined and I can't see a way to disable them besides manually editing the files.

I can confirm this problem and it is indeed for the reason pointed out by the OP, although it is not in the file /etc/nginx/sites-available/default, but in /opt/apprise/webapp/etc/nginx.conf. Removing the listen [::]:8000; from this file allows the container to start normally and the API to be requested.
To fix this in my environment, I had to keep a copy of this file on the server and replace it in the container with a volume. Therefore, it would be better if there was an option to do this, as this way I will have to confirm that this file has not changed with each new version.
