+Docker and UFW
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Docker uses a bridge to manage containers networking, by default UFW drop all `forwarding`, a first step is to enable forwarding:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   sudo nano /etc/default/ufw
+   ----
+   # Change:
+   # DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY="DROP"
+   # to
+   DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY="ACCEPT"
+
+Then reload UFW:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   sudo ufw reload
+
+
+UFW's default set of rules denied all `incoming`, so if you want to be able to reach your containers from another host,
+you should allow incoming connexions on the docker port (default 4243):
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   sudo ufw allow 4243/tcp
