Docker is overriding my default route configuration – Debian

A noob here starting with docker in a Orange Pi 3 (Rasberry Pi clone).

I’m trying to configure and start a docker containter (bitwarden_rs), but when I do, I lost connection to the external network. Docker mess with my route table.

Network configuration: I have a bridge br0 that bridges eth0 and wlan0.
(Eth0 connects to the router, wlan0 is configured in AP mode)

Table when container is stopped:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
default         _gateway        0.0.0.0         UG    425    0        0 br0  <---OK
link-local      0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 br0
172.17.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 docker0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     425    0        0 br0
192.168.2.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     425    0        0 br0

Table when container is running (No internet access to the exterior)

172.17.0.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 docker0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     425    0        0 br0
192.168.2.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     425    0        0 br0

What can I do to fix it? It’s docker config problem or maybe my system problem (armbian).
Thanks

    This is because, as you can see docker creates a linux bridge named ‘docker0’.
    You can change the default settings for the docker bridge to resolve the issue.
    Configure the default bridge network by providing the bip option along with the desired subnet in the daemon.json

    # vi /etc/docker/daemon.json
{
  "bip": "172.200.0.1/16"
}

    and restart the service.

     systemctl restart docker

    On ubuntu 20.04, I tried many methods,
    like prevent dhcpd to update route
    or change NetworkManager configure to let network-manager to igonre veth* device
    Neither of the above works.

    I spent a lot of time and found that connman service changes default route. Change its config file /etc/connman/main.conf by uncommenting following line:

    #NetworkInterfaceBlacklist = vmnet,vboxnet,virbr,ifb,veth-,vb-

    and

    systemctl restart connman

    to restart connman service. The issue resolved eventually.
