Unfortunatly, if you are using firewall4/nftables, docker doesn't work as easily as it did with firewall3/iptables.
That is to say, If you are using firewall4, i'd imagine that if you disabled the iptables option in /etc/config/dockerd you should be able to configure the firewall and NAT etc within OpenWrt itself.

This is still an issue as of 23.05.0-rc2.
