Issue Plesk-Firewall-Docker

[LordSeaworth]

Anyone familiar with Plesk and its firewall extenstion with docker?

I'm trying to run a web app with docker but can't reach it from outside cause of firewall.

Anyone an idea or suggestion on how to get my firewall working with docker?

Just enable the proper ports AND/OR forwarding via some specific ports.

In principle, the Docker container should be accessible as a stand-alone virtual environment, so "outside > in" rules (to the container) should suffice.

The local traffic between the server and the Docker containers, if any, is another story.

By the way, you should note that sometimes problems can occur if a Docker container standard ports are being used and those standard ports are also opened on the server.

For that reason, one should use non-standard ports in the Docker container, if and whenever possible.

Anyway, hope the above helps a (tiny) bit and if you have some questions, please provide some additional (concrete) information about your setup, to allow/enable us to help.

This din't do much help.
I know i need different ports and i added them already to the Plesk firewall but still no connection to the interface

In essence, you should be more specific about the nature of the problem, we cannot have a guess based upon a general remark that "it doesn´t work".

I kindly ask you to mail me via this forum (send a PM) and supply the relevant information and screenshots of your Plesk Firewall.

I fixed it.
Plesk's firewall don't plays well with Docker. Using webmins firewall manager and it works like a charm.

If you use webmin, you should be aware of two facts:

a) both firewalls (Plesk and webmin) are iptables based, so their is no factual difference, with exception of some difference in user-friendliness,

b) webmin can cause some issues when Plesk upgrades or micro-updates are applied.

So, I would recommend to keep track of the changes made to your system.

Plesk firewall messes up docker. Keeps removing its stuff. So i would say Webmin is the only solution to use with docker. Since plesk has a very bad firewall plugin. Who makes a static firewall script anyway. Really retarded.

Only question is: why use Plesk (with or without "retarded scripts"), whilst webadmin seems to be the be better and FREE alternative?

I am really surprised by the essence of your statements.

I am also having the opinion that a Plesk forum is not the proper place to do some Plesk bashing.
