I use nftables to set my firewall rules. I typically manually configure the rules myself. Recently, I just happened to dump the ruleset, and, much to my surprise, my config was gone, and it was replaced with an enourmous amount of extremely cryptic firewall rules. After a quick examination of the rules, I found that it was Docker that had modified them. And after some brief research, I found a number of open issues, just like this one, of people complaining about this behaviour. I think it’s an enourmous security risk to have Docker silently do this by default.
I have heard that Podman doesn’t suffer from this issue, as it is daemonless. If that is true, I will certainly be switching from Docker to Podman.

You can use a bridge network or the host network.
In bridge network it is like a NAT host. With its own firewall settings.
In host network mode, it will just open the port it needs.
I could be misunderstanding your comment, but you don’t seem to have answered my question of why I don’t see my rules anymore.
