I’ve recently learned that UFW firewall rules do not affect Docker containers. I am looking into learning firewall rules in depth but in the meantime I want make sure I don’t fuck something up, so here are a few questions:

1- On a host that drops all incoming connections (configured through UFW), if I have a container with only a single port mapping 127.0.0.1:8080:80 is there any way to access this container through the public internet, what about 8080:80 or no port mapping at all?

2- How do I drop all incoming connections to all Docker containers and do I need to do that? Similar to ufw default deny incoming?

3- Is there a way to see all incoming/outgoing connections of all containers?

Thanks in advance and any resource advice for securing docker for dummies is appreciated.

    Thanks, just to clarify, even if I deny all forwards on the host using UFW, that still won’t have an affect on Docker because Docker inserts its rules above UFW rules. Correct?
