November 2025

My entire Docker setup experienced some downtime yesterday. I did some weekly maintenance, as usual, upgrading the linux-aarch64 kernel to 6.17.7. What I wasn’t aware however, the pre-compiled version of the new kernel omitted the raw table from iptables, preventing Docker from dropping incoming connection to the container system.

6.18rc seems to have reverted this, but with the move from legacy iptables to nftables I decided to replace iptables with iptables-nft and restarted the Docker service. All good now.

Maybe I shouldn’t live life on the bleeding edge…
