Creating instance with ansible gives iptables error (lemmy.ml)

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-nginx

manually 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).
