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.

Not really.

Both docker and ufw edit iptables rules.

If you instruct docker to expose a port, it will do so.

If you instruct ufw to block a port, it will only do so if you haven't explicitly exposed that port in docker.

Its a common gotcha but it's not really a shortcoming of docker.
