On Fedora 44, dnf satisfies docker-ce's `(iptables-nft or iptables)` requirement with iptables-legacy. The legacy backend needs the ip_tables module, which ubuntu-26.04 runners no longer have loaded, and the compose container cannot load it because it mounts no /lib/modules. The MSS clamp task then failed with `modprobe: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found` and `can't initialize iptables table 'mangle'` (Nextcloud#10, Gitea#0, Jellyfin#0 on fedora). CentOS 10 already resolves to iptables-nft from the same plan and deploys green on the same image. Naming iptables-nft in the docker transaction makes Fedora use the nf_tables backend as well.

Docker Server
Description
This role installs and maintains the Docker service, including Docker Compose, on Linux systems.
It is part of the Infinito.Nexus Project, maintained and developed by Kevin Veen-Birkenbach.
Overview
The role ensures that Docker and Docker Compose are present, integrates essential backup, repair, and health check roles, and supports cleanup or full reset modes for a fresh Docker environment.
When enabled via MODE_CLEANUP or MODE_RESET, it will automatically prune unused Docker resources.
MODE_RESET additionally restarts the Docker service after cleanup.
Cosmos
The diagram places Docker Server in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments); red 0..0 edges are turned off in this role. Node markers show the role's deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.
