IPv6 is not configured in torrc.
If anything is unclear, 'man torrc' helps. Search|grep 'Address' & 'ORPort'

You might want to specify IPv4Only to it or set an explicit address or set or set Address.
The error message is clear and precise.



You need to have an IPv6 assigned to your server (ovh provides it, but you need to configure it manually IIRC) -- can you ping -6 any address?

If you don't have an IPv6, do not bind to [::] as this wildcard means bind to ALL IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces, instead if you only want IPv4 (no reason to want just this, if you also have IPv6) either configure:

ORPort <ipv4>:port

or

ORPort 0.0.0.0:port

-

ORPort [::]:port IPv4Only

---
But better just try to configure IPv6 for your server, as you most probably have it, just need to add it manually and then it'll work and you'll also have a dual-stacked relay which is better than an IPv4 only relay.
