Hello,

I encountered an error which could be solved with small documentation snippet to use [ /bin/sh ] shell when self-creating unix userid + sudo group before using zentyal_installer.sh

LXC Container using container template [ubuntu-20.04-standard_20.04-1_amd64.tar.gz]
Created o/s user using [ useradd -G sudo --home /home/adminx --shell /bin/bash adminx ]

Re: [Solved] Zentyal 7.0 Install using LXC Container - installation error
« Reply #1 on: August 16, 2021, 09:40:40 pm »
Hello again,

During https://server-ip:8443/ install an error was encountered during final Network module configuration.
Examining /var/log/zentyal/zentyal.log reveals error about missing [/sbin/iptables] path.

Solution:
# network module will save/start successfully after this workaround
sudo ln -s /etc/alternatives/iptables /sbin/iptables


The LXC container template does not create [ /sbin/iptables ] path.
Whereas install from Ubuntu 20.04 ISO does create [ /sbin/iptables ] path.

My ubuntu skills are insufficient to determine the necessary install package to soft link [ /sbin/iptables ] path.

Re: [Solved] Zentyal 7.0 Install using LXC Container - installation error
« Reply #2 on: August 16, 2021, 10:01:38 pm »
There is one caveat for the prior post about [ /sbin/iptables ].

A modprobe error appears during Zentyal network module start in zentyal.log. It appears Proxmox 6.4-13 [ kernel 5.4.128-1-pve ] is missing a module referenced in Ubuntu 20.04 networking stack.

Everything Zentyal wise is otherwise operating normally. Probably best to install from Zentyal 7.0 ISO instead of using the LXC container noted below.
