Following instructions from https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/install_ansible.html and running the command
ansible-playbook lemmy.yml --become
Gives the below error message for iptables
TASK [start docker-compose] ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [root@<ip>]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "errors": [], "module_stderr": "", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "Error starting project 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error (\"Failed to program FILTER chain: iptables failed: iptables --wait -I FORWARD -o br-9df07e7bb41e -j DOCKER: iptables v1.8.7 (nf_tables): Chain 'DOCKER' does not exist\nTry `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.\n (exit status 2)\")"}
My iptables were completely empty on the vps when I ran this command. Any suggestions?
Also a sidenote I needed to do
sudo apt install python3-certbot-nginxmanually on the vps server as it didn’t automatically install this with ansible
Which distro are you using? The playbook doesnt do anything with iptables, and works fine on Ubuntu.
I am using a fully up-to date debian 11 machine on a vps and the iptabels are completely clear and its still giving me this error message after flushing iptables several times
No idea then, you will have to do the manual installation (or debug ansible).
