Public bug reported:
Hi,
ufw makes it difficult to deploy firewall rules through management
systems like puppet, ansible or other scripts.
ufw has three points where to put rules in:
before.rules
user.rules
after.rules
the ufw command accepts only a very limited sort of rules, and user.rules
should not be used to deploy files, since user changes would be overwritten.
before.rules and after.rules could easily be used for that purpose, but
then the machine is cut from automated updates through apt, since apt
refuses (for good reason) to replace modified files in /etc.
It would be much better to have a directory like /etc/ufw/rules_v4.d ,
to put the old-fashioned three files into 20_before, 50_user and
70_after, and to execute all rules in this directory, thus allowing to
have additional rules in separate files.
regards
