[Bug] Unable to use IPv6 database server

[cwchristerw]

What happened?

I'm trying to install Matomo in Docker container with using MariaDB that has IPv6 address. I'll get following error message in Web UI. "Could not connect to the database server: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Failed to parse IPv6 address "[fd80:3306"

Database Address:
[fd80:deaf:1::95]

What should happen?

It should be possible to use IPv6 address in database address.

How can this be reproduced?

1. Go to https://analytics.example.com/index.php?action=databaseSetup&clientProtocol=https
2. Add Database server settings with database address that is IPv6 address.

5.1.2

PHP version

Thank you for your response, I'll be waiting. I'll use IPv4 temporarily until then. 😄
