That gives a vague nebulous overview, but Gene needs a bit more detail.
A quick google of "linux static ipv6 address howto" gave some promising
looking hits. I liked the look of the third hit:

https://kb.wisc.edu/ns/page.php?id=14099

While the example is aimed at a specific site, it shows the files to be
edited, and IIUC, FE80 is for local addressing, like ipv4 non-routable
address ranges, so it should be generally applicable, I figure.

The tutorial in the second hit:

https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-ipv6-networking-configuration/

might be worth a try next, using an FE80 address, I figure.

Use your google foo, Gene! There's so much chaff out there, and life's
too short to be sorting the wheat out with tweezers.
