The shorewall documentation explains in http://shorewall.org/Docker.html how to configure shorewall for use with docker. The problem with the configuration is that it only allows connections from the host to the main bridge docker0
. Connections to other networks on dynamically created bridges, with names starting by default with br-
, is blocked. Instead of the recommended contents of /etc/shorewall/interfaces
, use wild-card interface names as follows:
#ZONE INTERFACE OPTIONS
#dock docker0 bridge # disabled default recommendation
dock docker0 physical=docker+,routeback=1
dock br physical=br-+,routeback=1
This declares interfaces with names starting with docker
, including the default docker0
, and starting with br-
to be in the dock
zone.
For the rest of the configuration, follow the shorewall documentation as is.
This setup fixes problems running composite apps set up manually or using docker-compose
.
Thanks for your helpful hints.
I am using docker-compose and shorewall. When setting rules in /etc/shorewall/rules they are not triggered.
To be able to restrict access to the docker machines I need to insert rules into the "DOCKER-USER" chain. Any idea how I can manage that with shorewall?
