Docker docs:

Docker routes container traffic in the nat table, which means that packets are diverted before it reaches the INPUT and OUTPUT chains that ufw uses. Packets are routed before the firewall rules can be applied, effectively ignoring your firewall configuration.

Somehow I think that's on ufw not docker. A firewall shouldn't depend on applications playing by their rules.

ufw just manages iptables rules, if docker overrides those it's on them IMO

Feels weird that an application is allowed to override iptables though. I get that when it's installed with root everything's off the table, but still....

It is decidedly weird, and it's something docker handles very poorly.
