<title>Shorewall 5.0.5 and Earlier</title>
<para>Both Docker and Shorewall assume that they 'own' the iptables
configuration. This leads to problems when Shorewall is restarted or
reloaded, because it drops all of the rules added by Docker. Fortunately,
the extensibility features in Shorewall allow users to <ulink
url="https://blog.discourse.org/2015/11/shorewalldocker-two-great-tastes-that-taste-great-together/#">create
their own solution</ulink> for saving the Docker-generated rules before
these operations and restoring them afterwards.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Shorewall 5.0.6 and Later</title>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 5.0.6, Shorewall has native support for
simple Docker configurations. This support is enabled by setting
DOCKER=Yes in shorewall.conf. With this setting, the generated script
saves the Docker-created ruleset before executing a
<command>stop</command>, <command>start</command>,
<command>restart</command> or <command>reload</command> operation and
restores those rules along with the Shorewall-generated ruleset.</para>
<important>
<para>Shorewall currently doesn't support Docker Swarm mode.</para>
</important>
<warning>
<para>On Debian and Debian-derived systems, <command>systemctl restart
shorewall</command> will lose Docker rules. You can work around this
issue using a method provided by J Cliff Armstrong:</para>
<para>Type as root:</para>
<programlisting><command>systemctl edit shorewall.service</command></programlisting>
<para>This will open the default terminal editor to a blank file in
which you can paste the following:</para>
<programlisting>[Service]
# reset ExecStop
ExecStop=
# set ExecStop to "stop" instead of "clear"
ExecStop=/sbin/shorewall $OPTIONS stop
</programlisting>
<para> Then type <command>systemctl daemon-reload </command>to activate
the changes. This change will survive future updates of the shorewall
package from apt repositories. The override file itself will be saved to
`/etc/systemd/system/shorewall.service.d/`. </para>
</warning>
<para>This support assumes that the default Docker bridge (docker0) is
being used. It is recommended that this bridge be defined to Shorewall in
<ulink
url="manpages/shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall-interfaces(8)</ulink>.
As shown below, you can control inter-container communication using the
<option>bridge</option> and <option>routeback</option> options. If docker0
is not defined to Shorewall, then Shorewall will save and restore the
FORWARD chain rules involving that interface.</para>
