Add docker interfaces to firewalld docker zone #2548

arkodg · 2020-05-04T20:54:35Z

If firewalld is running, create a new docker zone and
add the docker interfaces to the docker zone to allow
container networking for distros with Firewalld enabled

Fixes: #2496
Addresses docker/for-linux#957

IMO, Docker should follow libvirt's example and create its own docker zone, rather than default to putting its interfaces into trusted.

I think you're modifying firewalld's runtime configuration only, so interfaces will be moved back to the default zone when firewalld is reloaded or restarted. libvirt handles this by listening to firewalld's Reloaded signal, and the normal D-Bus NameOwnerChanged signal (to handle firewalld restarts), and re-doing its runtime configuration changes when signalled.

yrro · 2020-05-05T10:19:56Z

It occurs to me that a user might want different interfaces to be created in different zones. A docker zone would be a good default but it would be nice to have a --zone option to docker network create...

arkodg · 2020-05-05T20:42:05Z

@yrro thanks for taking a look !

attempted to create a new docker zone but hitting some issues, following it up with firewalld
libnetwork does handle the reload case -

libnetwork/iptables/firewalld.go

Line 138 in 1ea375d

func OnReloaded(callback func()) {
the notion of zones or just security policy is definitely something that would be nice to have but not sure what the interface would look like yet, and hoping to keep that out of this PR

First, thanks for adding firewalld integration. This will please users. In general this looks functional. I have various cleanup type comments. But those are non-blocking.

I realize that masquerading and port forwarding is still done via iptables. In the future I think firewalld could be used for those as well. Upstream is currently working on support for forward/output filtering.

iptables/firewalld.go

erig0 · 2020-05-07T18:56:09Z

iptables/firewalld.go

+
+	settings := getDockerZoneSettings()
+	// Permanent
+	if err := connection.sysConfObj.Call(dbusInterface+".config.addZone", 0, dockerZone, settings).Err; err != nil {


Just a note that the addZone() method has been deprecated. The next firewalld feature release introduces addZone2() which is dictionary based and doesn't require all fields be filled. That being said, docker has to support older versions of firewalld so this is the correct one to call. In the future support for addZone2() should be considered.

FWIW, libvirt ships a static zone definition as part of the package. Therefore they avoid the addZone() and reload(). They also allow other things; dhcp, dns, icmp, ipv6-icmp. But they're also filtering (denying) other packets destined to the host.

erig0 · 2020-05-07T19:00:13Z

iptables/firewalld.go

+	// Check if interface is already added to the zone
+	if err := connection.sysObj.Call(dbusInterface+".zone.getInterfaces", 0, dockerZone).Store(&intfs); err != nil {
+		return err
+	}
+	// Return if interface is already part of the zone
+	if contains(intfs, intf) {
+		logrus.Infof("Firewalld: interface %s already part of %s zone, returning", intf, dockerZone)
+		return nil
+	}
+
+	logrus.Debugf("Firewalld: adding %s interface to %s zone", intf, dockerZone)
+	// Runtime
+	if err := connection.sysObj.Call(dbusInterface+".zone.addInterface", 0, dockerZone, intf).Err; err != nil {
+		return err
+	}
+	return nil


You're probably aware, but this is racey. It's possible the interface gets deleted/added by another entity/user between the getInterfaces() and addInterface() calls. It may be simpler to always call addInterface() and handle the error codes appropriately. e.g. ALREADY_ENABLED.

I'd like to keep it this way, since AFAIK I would need to compare the error string to handle the above case, which might change in the future

erig0 · 2020-05-07T19:02:40Z

iptables/firewalld.go

+	if err := connection.sysObj.Call(dbusInterface+".zone.getInterfaces", 0, dockerZone).Store(&intfs); err != nil {
+		return err
+	}
+	// Remove interface if it exists
+	if !contains(intfs, intf) {
+		return fmt.Errorf("Firewalld: unable to find interface %s in %s zone", intf, dockerZone)
+	}
+
+	logrus.Debugf("Firewalld: removing %s interface from %s zone", intf, dockerZone)
+	// Runtime
+	if err := connection.sysObj.Call(dbusInterface+".zone.removeInterface", 0, dockerZone, intf).Err; err != nil {
+		return err
+	}


Similar comment as above. Maybe always call removeInterface() and handle the errors.

cpuguy83 · 2020-05-08T15:34:02Z

What happens here if someone already has a pre-configured dockerZone zone?
I see in the code we'll return early in certain places.

arkodg · 2020-05-08T15:59:49Z

If a user manually created a docker zone, libnetwork would just reuse that and insert interfaces into that zone. However exact behavior of networking depends on the zone settings (which libnetwork will not try and override)

thaJeztah · 2020-05-14T19:15:20Z

@arkodg discussing with @cpuguy83 and wondering if we should have an option (configurable on the daemon, and passed to libnetwork) to disable this; wdyt?

arkodg · 2020-05-14T19:21:36Z

So I believe that should happen if the user sets iptables=false

Edit - tested this with iptables=false and no docker zone was created

cpuguy83 · 2020-05-14T21:49:04Z

I think the idea was to not have to set iptables=false but allow users to enable the specific firewalld enhancement (or rather disable it as needed), for example cases where they are already managing this.

I just know that firewall changes Docker does always ends up being problematic.

arkodg · 2020-05-18T20:08:04Z

@cpuguy83 even w/o this change, we have been pushing iptables rules via firewalld
I'm not a fan of creating yet another daemon knob . Although iptables=false is less granular it should be the recommended approach if the user wants to manage their own iptables rules via iptables or firewalld

cpuguy83 · 2020-05-18T20:26:45Z

We've been pushing rules such that firewalld ensures they exist in iptables, but this is changing how firewalld is configured entirely.

arkodg · 2020-05-19T20:43:53Z

@cpuguy83 do you prefer having a firewall-integration flag that can be used for firewalld and ufw, and would it be disabled/enabled by default .

All docker containers listening on 0.0.0.0:PORT are accessible from the outside via servername:PORT

This is expected. This what docker requests.

I recently wrote a blog about this and how to do strict filtering of docker containers.
