I use nftables to set my firewall rules. I typically manually configure the rules myself. Recently, I just happened to dump the ruleset, and, much to my surprise, my config was gone, and it was replaced with an enourmous amount of extremely cryptic firewall rules. After a quick examination of the rules, I found that it was Docker that had modified them. And after some brief research, I found a number of open issues, just like this one, of people complaining about this behaviour. I think it’s an enourmous security risk to have Docker silently do this by default.
I have heard that Podman doesn’t suffer from this issue, as it is daemonless. If that is true, I will certainly be switching from Docker to Podman.
Prevent docker from manipulating iptables
Don’t know what it’s actually doing, I’m just learning how to work with nftables, but I saved that link in case oneday I want to manage the iptables rules myself :)
Good luck. Your going to have to change the rules whenever the up address of the container changes.
If you are talking about the IP address then just add a static address, no? I do it anyway in my docker compose:
... networks: traefik.net: ipv4_address: 10.10.10.99 networks: traefik.net: name: traefik-net external: trueI’m not an expert so maybe I’m wrong, if so do not hesitate to correct me !
