[Solved] Centos7 Install docker Error: iptables v1.4.21: Couldn‘t load target `DOCKER-ISOLATION‘

Recently, in the process of learning docker, I encountered problems when I started docker in the first step. After the installation is completed according to the steps on the official website, I started it and reported an error: iptables v1.4.21: Couldn’t load target `DOCKER-ISOLATION’, as follows:

At first, turn off the firewall and it can really start

systemctl stop firewalld

But I always feel that the problem is not here. After searching, it is found that in centos7, firewall is used instead of iptables. To solve this problem, turn off firewall and enable iptables

# Turn off the firewall
systemctl stop firewalld
 
# Disable boot up
systemctl disable firewalld

# Install iptables
yum install iptables-services -y

# Restart the firewall to make the configuration take effect
systemctl restart iptables
 
# Set the firewall to boot up
systemctl enable iptables

Problem solving! Record it for future study
