Hi,
i am trying to install Netbird with the selfhosting quickstart script provided on your website on a micro instance of Oracle Cloud.
i have opened all the necessary ports but when i run the script i receive the following message:

✘ Network netbird_netbird Error 0.2s
failed to create network netbird_netbird: Error response from daemon: Failed to program FILTER chain: iptables failed: iptables --wait -I FORWARD -o br-e6a7f4738870 -j DOCKER: iptables v1.8.7 (nf_tables): Chain 'DOCKER' does not exist
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
(exit status 2)

i tried to add the docker chain manually but it already exists

not sure where to go from here

Sounds like your docker service isn't running (or not running correctly), try sudo systemctl restart docker and sudo systemctl enable docker to start it on boot

Thanks for your advice!
However i solved this by running
docker compose up
and then run the script again.
Not really sure what happened but it worked!
