Run it only on the external interfaces. I don't recall the details of why,
but there was something that breaks when you run it on internal interfaces,
even if you open all the documented ports.

My recollection is somewhat vague, but it had something to do with the
discovery process, and one of the services using ephemeral ports, something
like that. It was a very subtle issue that you might not always discover
right away.

But, yes, on the external interface, knock yourself out in terms of
enabling firewalld.
