I read here [1] that IPv6 is on the rise and support for it is growing.
Are there any recommendations or best-practices how to configure a Tor relay with IPv6?
Alternatively, could anybody who got it set up already, post their experiences and maybe even the relevant parts of their torrc?

I've never had an IPv4 only relay. Dualstack has been running great for years.
Some Hints:
interfaces
Since IPv4 are outrageously expensive¹ (especially RIPE Address Space), dear
relay operators, please configure IPv6. Development must go to IPv6 only
relays.
I was able to set this up on my four relays however it was a bit of a chore and a couple of relay operators provided a lot of helpful articles. From what I understand some of this depends on the host. My relays are running on Frantech and they don’t offer support for this directly. Also I am running HardenedBSD which has a rather unique set up ( at least for me) the point I suppose might be this, offering insight into what Distribution you are running might help narrow this down. Once I got it to work on one relay the rest were fairly straightforward. I know this may not be exactly what you wanted but take this as encouragement, I am not as technical as most here ergo I would imagine if I can do it anyone can!
Best regards,
