In my machine, finally

```auto
app/bin/my_app remote

```

working as it shouold!

The key is to make env.sh.eex like below

```auto
#!/bin/sh

ip=$(grep fly-local-6pn /etc/hosts | cut -f 1)
export RELEASE_DISTRIBUTION=name
export RELEASE_NODE=$FLY_APP_NAME@$ip
#export ELIXIR_ERL_OPTIONS="-proto_dist inet6_tcp" <- commented out

```

Is this dangerous decision?
