Hi,
I am trying to install Docker on a Raspi 3 Model B running the latest Raspberry OS, (Debian bookworm) using the installation steps from the Docker website (https://docs.docker.com/desktop/setup/i ... ux/debian/). The installation fails due to unmet dependencies, foremost iptables.
It seems that Raspberry OS (and Debian) have deprecated iptables in favor of nftables, and that the iptables package is no longer in the standard repository/ies. Docker requires iptables.
I have searched the Internet, including various forums, for hours over several days but not found any helpful hints so far. Restarting the Pi (which has solved the issue in the only directly relevant forum post that I have found) has not helped in my case..
I think that maybe installing iptables from a legacy repository may be a solution, but I have not found anything in that direction.
Does anybody here have any helpful suggestions for me? Thanks much.
