Ansible iptables best practices? (sh.itjust.works)

I am currently looking into ansibles to store my configurations and deploy services more easily.

I have couple of iptable rules in /etc/iptables/rules.v4, which I can easily restore. Meanwhile, ansible has iptable role for configurations - hence, I am confused on what approach to take.

How do I persist this rules, especially across reboots? Should I rerun ansible every time on each reboot? I am at loss on how to best manage iptables, as other services can interact with it. How do you folks handle this? Thanks in advance!

If I understand you want iptables to be persistent across reboots? Would the following be useful?:

apt-get update -y && apt-get install iptables-persistent -y
service netfilter-persistent save

I have no clue about ansible as I have not explored that region of selfhosting yet. It's on the list tho.
