In release 27.0, ip6tables was enabled by default. That caused a
problem on some hosts where iptables was explicitly disabled and
loading the br_netfilter module (which loads with its nf-call-iptables
settings enabled) caused user-defined iptables rules to block traffic
on bridges, breaking inter-container communication.
In 27.3.0, commit 5c499fc4b2 delayed
loading of the br_netfilter module until it was needed. The load
now happens in the function that sets bridge-nf-call-ip[6]tables when
needed. It was only called for icc=false networks.
However, br_netfilter is also needed when userland-proxy=false.
Without it, packets addressed to a host-mapped port for a container
on the same network are not DNAT'd properly (responses have the server
container's address instead of the host's).
That means, in all releases including 26.x, if br_netfilter was loaded
before the daemon started - and the OS/user/other-application had
disabled bridge-nf-call-ip[6]tables, it would not be enabled by the
daemon. So, ICC would fail for host-mapped ports with the userland-proxy
disabled.
The change in 27.3.0 made this worse - previously, loading br_netfilter
whenever iptables/ip6tables was enabled meant that bridge-netfiltering
got enabled, even though the daemon didn't check it was enabled.
So... check that br_netfilter is loaded, with bridge-nf-call-ip[6]tables
enabled, if userland-proxy=false.

The Moby Project
Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable and accelerate software containerization.
It provides a "Lego set" of toolkit components, the framework for assembling them into custom container-based systems, and a place for all container enthusiasts and professionals to experiment and exchange ideas. Components include container build tools, a container registry, orchestration tools, a runtime and more, and these can be used as building blocks in conjunction with other tools and projects.
Principles
Moby is an open project guided by strong principles, aiming to be modular, flexible and without too strong an opinion on user experience. It is open to the community to help set its direction.
- Modular: the project includes lots of components that have well-defined functions and APIs that work together.
- Batteries included but swappable: Moby includes enough components to build fully featured container systems, but its modular architecture ensures that most of the components can be swapped by different implementations.
- Usable security: Moby provides secure defaults without compromising usability.
- Developer focused: The APIs are intended to be functional and useful to build powerful tools. They are not necessarily intended as end user tools but as components aimed at developers. Documentation and UX is aimed at developers not end users.
Audience
The Moby Project is intended for engineers, integrators and enthusiasts looking to modify, hack, fix, experiment, invent and build systems based on containers. It is not for people looking for a commercially supported system, but for people who want to work and learn with open source code.
Relationship with Docker
The components and tools in the Moby Project are initially the open source components that Docker and the community have built for the Docker Project. New projects can be added if they fit with the community goals. Docker is committed to using Moby as the upstream for the Docker Product. However, other projects are also encouraged to use Moby as an upstream, and to reuse the components in diverse ways, and all these uses will be treated in the same way. External maintainers and contributors are welcomed.
The Moby project is not intended as a location for support or feature requests for Docker products, but as a place for contributors to work on open source code, fix bugs, and make the code more useful. The releases are supported by the maintainers, community and users, on a best efforts basis only. For customers who want enterprise or commercial support, Docker Desktop and Mirantis Container Runtime are the appropriate products for these use cases.
