I need to implement some particular firewall rules.

I’ve configured the rules I want in UFW, but docker seems to play by its own rules.

What is the best, or approved method to have the anthias docker defer to UFW’s firewall rules?

@Dhe, I haven’t tried those yet, but you can try the methods in [https://www.howtogeek.com/devops/how-to-use-docker-with-a-ufw-firewall/](https://www.howtogeek.com/devops/how-to-use-docker-with-a-ufw-firewall/). Have you tried modifying `/etc/ufw/after.rules`?

Yes, I tried that, perhaps I did it wrong, but no soup for me.

I did some basic research, and the official Docker docs says that [“Docker and ufw use iptables in ways that make them incompatible with each other.”](https://docs.docker.com/network/packet-filtering-firewalls/#docker-and-ufw)

Have you tried [firewalld](https://docs.docker.com/network/packet-filtering-firewalls/#integration-with-firewalld)?
