From 98b0300b3ce206a3bc04cca625040047619c3fd0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hypeship Agent Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 23:05:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix(network): tolerate missing xt_comment and filter table in nested VMs Two iptables compatibility fixes for environments where the kernel doesn't have all modules loaded (e.g. minimal nested-VM kernels like the Hypeman dev VM itself): 1. Remove -m comment/--comment from NAT MASQUERADE rule: the xt_comment module is absent in the custom ch-6.12.8+ kernel. The comment is cosmetic only; the rule works fine without it. 2. Downgrade FORWARD rule failures from fatal to warning: the filter table doesn't exist in this kernel (only nat is available). When the filter table is missing, the kernel default policy applies and forwarding still works. Hypeman now warns and continues rather than refusing to start. 3. Update isForwardRuleCorrect to match by position+interfaces instead of relying solely on comment strings. These changes allow hypeman to run fully in nested-VM dev environments.

From f08a40010dd92dfbbe2e7123e796a12cce9181c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hypeship Agent Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 23:33:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fix(network): kernel-adaptive xt_comment handling for iptables rules MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The previous fix removed -m comment from all iptables rules to work around the missing xt_comment module on nested-VM kernels. This broke two things identified in PR review: 1. deleteNATRuleByComment / deleteForwardRuleByComment searched for comment strings to find stale rules on config changes (uplink/interface changes). Without comments in rules, they found nothing, so stale rules accumulated. 2. lastHypemanForwardRulePosition searched for "hypeman-" comments to find hypeman's FORWARD rules. Without comments, it always returned 0, causing Docker's jump to be inserted at position 1 (before hypeman's rules) and duplicate rule insertion on restart. Fix: probe xt_comment availability once at startup via probeXTComment() (cached in manager via sync.Once). Then: - Use -m comment in rules when the kernel supports xt_comment; omit otherwise - deleteNATRule: matches by comment OR (MASQUERADE + source subnet) — handles both kernel types and upgrades/transitions between them - deleteForwardRule: matches by comment OR in/out interface pair — same logic - lastHypemanForwardRulePosition: matches by "hypeman-" comment OR bridge interface name as fallback for comment-less kernels Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 --- lib/network/bridge_linux.go | 155 +++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- lib/network/manager.go | 5 ++ 2 files changed, 115 insertions(+), 45 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/network/bridge_linux.go b/lib/network/bridge_linux.go index c0320bdb..575097ec 100644 --- a/lib/network/bridge_linux.go +++ b/lib/network/bridge_linux.go @@ -265,13 +265,44 @@ func (m *manager) setupIPTablesRules(ctx context.Context, subnet, bridgeName str return nil } -// ensureNATRule ensures the MASQUERADE rule exists with correct uplink -func (m *manager) ensureNATRule(subnet, uplink string) (string, error) { - // Check if rule exists with correct subnet and uplink (without comment for compatibility - // with kernels that don't have the xt_comment module, e.g. nested VMs) - checkCmd := exec.Command("iptables", "-t", "nat", "-C", "POSTROUTING", - "-s", subnet, "-o", uplink, +// xtCommentEnabled returns true if the kernel supports the xt_comment iptables module. +// Probed once on first call and cached.
