freeswitch does not work on OSes without iptables #261

Open aurorasmiles opened 1 year ago

aurorasmiles commented 1 year ago

With v2.6, the freeswitch container no longer starts on an OS without iptables (such as RHEL 9 for example). I believe this is due to the change from Debian bullseye, which also uses nftables, to Ubuntu 20.04, which does not. The exact error message is:

iptables v1.8.4 (legacy): can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

Was there any reason why this switch was made? I'd quite like to upgrade to 2.6 :D

Running on Rocky Linux 9 Haven't seen anything in the docs according to this (https://github.com/bigbluebutton/docker/blob/develop/docs/upgrading.md), so I updated my bbb instance. Now it's dead, same iptables issue as above. What's the status here?

leonidas-o commented 1 year ago

Looked into that a bit, the kernel module was not loaded. iptables itself is installed on Rocky Linux 9. So after loading the iptables_raw module Freeswitch starts up.

Temporary

modprobe -v iptable_raw
docker-compose restart freeswitch

Permanently

cat << 'EOF' > /etc/modules-load.d/freeswitch.conf
iptable_raw
EOF
