5e242eb946 fix: add iptables-nft to wg-easy for nftables-only kernels
wg-easy's Alpine wg-quick uses legacy iptables which requires the
iptable_nat kernel module. On NixOS kernels compiled without legacy
netfilter modules, the container crashes in a restart loop:

  iptables v1.8.3 (legacy): can't initialize iptables table 'nat'
  Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)

Fix: build a custom image that installs Alpine's iptables-nft package
and symlinks iptables -> iptables-nft (nftables backend).

# Custom wg-easy with iptables-nft (nftables-backed iptables)
# Fixes crash-loop when host kernel lacks legacy iptable_nat module.
FROM weejewel/wg-easy:latest
# Alpine's iptables-nft provides iptables that uses nftables kernel API
# instead of the legacy iptable_nat module. This works on kernels
# where only nftables netfilter modules are available.
RUN apk add --no-cache iptables-nft
# Ensure iptables-nft takes priority over legacy iptables
