@DesertGamer

and for you as pre work:

cat /opt/iptag/iptag.conf
and:
ls /opt/iptag

[DesertGamer]

@jwgn Tell me, please, did you have an iptag script before?

[DesertGamer]

@MickLesk I would like to ask you to point out that now this script not only puts the LXC container tag, but also the VM

[jwgn]

No, have not used an iptag script before.

Try deleting the script from this folder and installing it again.

This should help you solve your problem.

[jwgn]

Deleted files in /opt/iptag. Re-ran the script.

But no tags are added to any of my machines.

[jwgn]

Oh, I had to re-create iptag.conf manually. It works now.

Why do we have to delete the script, then run the installer again? Same issue on another node.

[DesertGamer]

I understand that this is unpleasant, so I will definitely fix this error as soon as possible.

[jwgn]

Oh so it's a bug. Thanks for the quick fix.

@Aabayoumy As soon as I'm free today, I'll make the necessary changes, sorry about that.
