thanks for your response!
1: the cable was indeed bad (it was brand new, so I wasn’t suspecting it), but something else is still wrong
2: sorry for just pasting, I’m not really sure how to interpret it client:

2a: I’m using network manager, it has worked so far. When I try to connect to the wired network manually (normally it does it automatically), nmtui says Could not activate connection: Activation failed: IP configuration could not be reserved (no available address, timeout, etc.). Dnsmasq is running, but I don’t know hot to check where is’t listening (I tried looking it up, but didn’t find anything).
3: it only shows the dummy docker thing; when I connect to the wi-fi hotspot in my phone, it does appear and I can ping it
4: I’m not sure, the nftables config is pasted in the original post
«your servers “lan” interface has no IPv4 address» ok, so how can that be fixed?
«Is this another machine in your network already, or is that a typo?» Probably a typo, I just copied it mindlessly :/. Now I have this:
dhcp-range=192.168.0.25,192.168.0.50,24h dhcp-option=option:router,192.168.0.1 dhcp-option=option:ntp-server,192.168.0.1 dhcp-option=option:dns-server,192.168.0.1 dhcp-option=option:netmask,255.255.255.0
