Description

File: network/network-tutorial-standalone.md

This article should include warning that in some environments (e.g. firewalld on clean-install CentOS 8) user-defined bridge interface (which may be done via docker-compose) must be added to a zone using firewall-cmd.
Without a zone defined, firewalld will prohibit any communication between containers using that bridge.

Research direction

Read network/network-tutorial-standalone.md and review the section describing user-defined bridge networks. Add a warning explaining that environments using firewalld, such as a clean-install CentOS 8 system, may require the bridge interface to be added to a firewall zone; the documentation is done when this container-communication limitation and required firewall-cmd action are clear.
