FINALLY managed to punch a hole in the #firewall that allowed the #docker image to make DNS calls outward so I can actually federate this instance!

Comment by @ikke@ipv6.social:

if you combine awall and docker, make sure you set the awall_dedicated_chains variable to true. This will make sure awall does not interfere with the rules that docker adds. See https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/awall#control-variables

Otherwise it’ll fail on uploading media, accepting follows, possibly more.

Run this:

docker exec –user root live_web_1 chown -R mastodon:mastodon /opt/mastodon/public/system
