Hello Tomas,

absolutely no issues to report. Works like a charm. 😊

Happy to hear that.

Looking forward to it.

Sadly I do not know of a way to specify dependency like that.  It is further complicated by the fact that the user installing the podman package might not even have permissions to load the module.

This actually caused me some problems and I had to load the ip_tables manually (I normally have just nf_tables loaded) using sudo when I was trying to test it.

I am not sure what the solution should be here...
