I use nftables to set my firewall rules. I typically manually configure the rules myself. Recently, I just happened to dump the ruleset, and, much to my surprise, my config was gone, and it was replaced with an enourmous amount of extremely cryptic firewall rules. After a quick examination of the rules, I found that it was Docker that had modified them. And after some brief research, I found a number of open issues, just like this one, of people complaining about this behaviour. I think it’s an enourmous security risk to have Docker silently do this by default.
I have heard that Podman doesn’t suffer from this issue, as it is daemonless. If that is true, I will certainly be switching from Docker to Podman.

Good luck. Your going to have to change the rules whenever the up address of the container changes.
If you are talking about the IP address then just add a static address, no? I do it anyway in my docker compose:
... networks: traefik.net: ipv4_address: 10.10.10.99 networks: traefik.net: name: traefik-net external: trueI’m not an expert so maybe I’m wrong, if so do not hesitate to correct me !
EDIT: If the IP address doesn’t change, you do not need to change to routing and iptables/nftables rules. ??
