Research direction
Start with the installer script's iptables support check and compare its module-loaded assumption with the reported Chromebook LXD environment. Verify that iptables works when kernel modules are unavailable; done means rootless installation no longer rejects an environment where iptables is present and usable.

Description
I'm trying to install docker rootless on a Chromebook.
The Linux environment runs inside an lxd container, itself inside a VM running a hardened kernel without module support.
See https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/master/containers_and_vms.md for more info.
The installer script checks for iptables support by checking if the module is loaded. This doesn't work on chromebooks because modules aren't available. However iptables is there and works (at least when run as root in the lxd container).
PS: regular docker runs perfectly fine, so I'll keep using that for the time being.
