What happens if you flush iptables in Docker?
If you flush iptables rules, while Docker daemon and some containers are running, you might break access to existing containers (but probably won’t break anything, more about this below). After service docker restart all default rules are injected into firewall (you can check it by running iptables-save or iptables -S, iptables -S -t nat ).
What are the names of the iptables chains in Docker?
Docker installs two custom iptables chains named DOCKER-USER and DOCKER , and it ensures that incoming packets are always checked by these two chains first. All of Docker’s iptables rules are added to the DOCKER chain. Do not manipulate this chain manually.
How can I restrict access to a docker container?
These rules are loaded before any rules Docker creates automatically. Restrict connections to the Docker daemon. By default, all external source IPs are allowed to connect to the Docker daemon. To allow only a specific IP or network to access the containers, insert a negated rule at the top of the DOCKER filter chain.
What to do when all rules are deleted via iptables-F?

Is there a way to have docker re-add it’s additional rules? the best way is to restart your docker service, then it’ll re-add your docker rules to iptables.

When do I need to set environment variables in Docker?
In Docker 17.06 and lower, you must set appropriate environment variables within the container. You can do this when you build the image (which makes the image less portable) or when you create or run the container. On the Docker client, create or edit the file ~/.docker/config.json in the home directory of the user which starts containers.
