Is it possible to test ansible tasks related with iptables in molecule-docker?

[bkkoli]

I Wrote some tasks related with iptables.

I Want to test them in molecule-docker, But I can't.

I encounter the error "iptables v1.8.9 (nf_tables): Could not fetch rule set generation id: Permission denied (you must be root)\n".

Is there any solutions to solve above problem?

My environment:

molecule 6.0.3 using python 3.9 
    ansible:2.15.12
    azure:23.5.3 from molecule_plugins
    containers:23.5.3 from molecule_plugins requiring collections: ansible.posix>=1.3.0 community.docker>=1.9.1 containers.podman>=1.8.1
    default:6.0.3 from molecule
    docker:23.5.3 from molecule_plugins requiring collections: community.docker>=3.4.11 ansible.posix>=1.4.0
    ec2:23.5.3 from molecule_plugins
    gce:23.5.3 from molecule_plugins requiring collections: google.cloud>=1.0.2 community.crypto>=1.8.0
    openstack:23.5.3 from molecule_plugins requiring collections: openstack.cloud>=2.1.0
    podman:23.5.3 from molecule_plugins requiring collections: containers.podman>=1.7.0 ansible.posix>=1.3.0

Hi @bkkoli,

you must run your container as privileged container:

platforms:
  - name: debian12
    image: debian:12
    privileged: True

Then you can check your iptables rules inside the container.
