Lots of people have experience, and it works well.  I believe the issue 
you are seeing, is that the Firewall rules are being modified and 
something is removing the rule that Docker adds to allow containers to 
use the host machines network interface.  When you reboot and restart 
the Docker daemon and the container, the network is correct again, but 
some tool (Firewalld) or something else is mucking around with the iptables.
