## v1.X.Y
### Fix
### Added
* New examples usecases (mostly for playbooks) in README.md.
### Removed
* Remove everything related to **in_udp_accept** (see conversation in PR #13).
Cause it was empty by default and the role currently doesn't manage it very
well. Take a look to new examples in README.md to find your preferred solution
(re-adding it, new simple/multi-ports filter rule,…).
### Fixed
* Ansible-lint: Fix line longer than 160 chars.
* Remove everything related to in_udp_accept (see conversation in PR #13).
Cause it was empty by default and the role currently doesn't manage it well.

## Overview
A role to manage Nftables rules and packages.
Highly inspired by [Mike Gleason firewall role][mikegleasonjr firewall github] (3 levels of rules definition and template), thanks ! I hope i haven't complexify his philosophy… ^^

* **nft_input_group_rules** or **nft_input_host_rules** variables can
also be used.
* The weight (`400`) allow to order all merged rules (from
<b>nft_input_*rules</b> dictionaries).

description that will be added as a comment in **nft_input_conf_path** file
on the remote host.

* The text following the weight (`input http accepted`) is a small

on the remote host.
* In this case, brackets are useful and define a anonymous set. For a single
element (port, IP address,…), brackets are overkill and the singleton
definition is enought.
</details>
<details>
<summary>Add a new rule with a variable (<i>click to expand</i>)</summary>
Nftables variables can be useful if you define somes generic rules for all hosts
with such variables (called with **$**) and override variable's value for some
groups or hosts.
``` yml
- hosts: serverXYZ
vars:
- nft_define_group:
input http accepted:
desc: HTTP and HTTPS
name: in_http_accept
value: '{ 80, 443 }'
nft_input_group_rules:
400 input http accepted:
- tcp dport $in_http_accept ct state new accept
roles:
- role: ipr-cnrs.nftables
```
1. Add a new variable with **define** for HTTP ports.
1. Add a new rule for incoming traffic and use the previous defined variable.
1. Result of `nft list ruleset` on the remote host will be :
``` bash
table inet filter {
…
chain input {
…
tcp dport { http, https } ct state new accept
…
}
…
}
```
* No mention of `$in_http_accept` variable.
* **nft_define** or **nft_define_host** variables can also be used.
* **nft_input_rules** or **nft_input_host_rules** variables can also be used.
* The weight (`400`) allow to order all merged rules (from
<b>nft_input_*rules</b> dictionaries).
* The text following the weight (`input http accepted`) is a small description
that will be added as a comment in **nft_input_conf_path** file on
the remote host.

<details>
<summary>Add a new rule with a named set (<i>click to expand</i>)</summary>
Quite similar to Nftables variables, **named set** can be useful if you define
somes generic rules and sets (eg. for all hosts) and override only the set in
some case (eg. for a group or some hosts).
In addition to variables, it is possible to add content to named sets on the
fly from the host without completely rewrite the rule.
``` yml
- hosts: serverXYZ
vars:
nft_set_group:
in_udp_accept:
- type inet_service; flags interval;
- elements = { 6881-6887, 6889 }
nft_input_group_rules:
200 input udp accepted:
- udp dport @in_udp_accept ct state new accept
roles:
- role: ipr-cnrs.nftables
```
1. Add a new named set with <b>nft_set_group</b> dictionary (eg. for torrent ports).
1. Add a new rule for incoming traffic and use the previous defined set.
1. On the remote host, if you try to add a port to this set : `nft add element inet filter in_udp_accept \{ 6999 \}`
1. Result of `nft list ruleset` on the remote host will now be :
``` bash
table inet filter {
…
set in_udp_accept {
type inet_service
flags interval
elements = { 6881-6887, 6889, 6999 }
}
chain input {
…
udp dport @in_udp_accept ct state new accept
…
}
…
}
```
* **nft_set** or **nft_set_host** variables can also be used.
* **nft_input_rules** or **nft_input_host_rules** variables can also be used.
* The weight (`200`) allow to order all merged rules (from
<b>nft_input_*rules</b> dictionaries).
* The text following the weight (`input upd accepted`) is a small description
that will be added as a comment in **nft_input_conf_path** file on
the remote host.

- ip protocol icmp icmp type echo-request ip length <= 84 counter limit rate 10/minute accept
roles:

```
1. Get rule description from `defaults/main.yml` file (eg. `050 icmp`).
1. Drop any ICMP request that doesn't come from 192.168.0.0 network.
1. Ensure the request is less or equal to 84 bytes and set up a limit
to 10 requests per minute.
* **nft_input_rules** or **nft_input_group_rules** variables can also be used.
* The weight (`050`) allow to order all merged rules (from
<b>nft_input_*rules</b> dictionaries).
* The text following the weight (`icmp`) is a small description that

1. Get item name (eg. `input tcp accepted`) and variable name
(eg. `in_tcp_accept`) from `defaults/main.yml` file.
1. Set a new value (eg. `'{ 2201, 6881 }'`).

<summary>Override all default rules (eg. for outgoing traffic) (<i>click to expand</i>)</summary>
If the default rules are too permissive, if you already override most of them,…
In some case, i guess, it can be interesting to redefine the default variable :
``` yml
- hosts: serverXYZ
vars:
nft_output_default_rules:
000 policy:
- type filter hook output priority 0; policy drop;
005 state management:
- ct state established,related accept
- ct state invalid drop
015 localhost:
- oif lo accept
050 my rule for XXX hosts and services:
- tcp dport 2000 ip saddr { xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy } ct state new accept
250 reset-ssh: # allow the host to reset SSH connections to avoid 10 min delay from Ansible controller
- tcp sport ssh tcp flags { rst, psh | ack } counter accept
roles:
- role: ipr-cnrs.nftables
```
* At least, don't forget to :
1. set a default `policy`.
1. manage already `established` state.
1. accept `rst, psh | ack` flags for **ssh** to avoid a 10 minutes delay at
the first run of this Nftables role (see #1).
* Then add your own rules with the wanted weight to order all merged rules (from
<b>nft_output_*rules</b> dictionaries) and descriptions.

``` yml
- hosts: serverXYZ
vars:
nft_output_host_rules:
210 output tcp accepted:
-
roles:
- role: ipr-cnrs.nftables
```
1. Get rule description from `defaults/main.yml` file (`210 output tcp accepted`).
1. The default policy for outgoing traffic (**drop**) will now be applied to
ports defined in **out_tcp_accept** variable. Be sure of what you are doing.
1. The rule will no longer be present in `nft list ruleset` result, just a
comment will remain (`210 output tcp accepted`) in **nft_output_conf_path**
file on the remote host.
* **nft_output_rules** or **nft_output_group_rules** variables can also be used.

``` yml
- hosts: serverXYZ
vars:
nft_merged_groups: true
nft_merged_groups_dir: vars/
roles:
- role: ipr-cnrs.nftables
```
And put the rules inside the "vars" folder named after your ansible groups of the server:
`vars/first_group` :
``` yaml
nft_input_group_rules:
020 icmp:
- ip protocol icmp icmp type echo-request ip length <= 84 counter limit rate 1/minute accept
999 count policy packet:
- counter
```
`vars/second_group` :
``` yaml
nft_input_group_rules:
021 LAN:
- iif eth0 accept
```
These rulesets from the two groups will be merged if the host has the two groups as ansible roles.
## Known Issue
* The 10 minutes delay at the first run is finally fixed by allowing the host to reset SSH connection (flags `rst, psh | ack`) (see #1).
1. Enable to merge group's variables :
``` yml
- hosts: serverXYZ
vars:
nft_merged_groups: true
nft_merged_groups_dir: vars/
roles:
- role: ipr-cnrs.nftables
```
1. Put extra rules inside the "vars" folder named after your ansible groups for serverXYZ :
* `vars/first_group` :
``` yaml
nft_input_group_rules:
020 icmp:
- ip protocol icmp icmp type echo-request ip length <= 84 counter limit rate 1/minute accept
999 count policy packet:
- counter
```
* `vars/second_group` :
``` yaml
nft_input_group_rules:
021 LAN:
- iif eth0 accept
```
1. These rulesets, from the two groups, will be merged if the host is a member
of these groups.

## Configuration
This role will :
* Install `nftables` on the system.
* Enable `nftables` service by default at startup.
* Generate a default configuration file which include all following files and loaded by systemd unit.
* Generate a default configuration file which include all following files and
loaded by systemd unit.
* Generate input and output rules files include called by the main configuration file.
* Generate vars in a file and sets and maps in another file.
* (re)Start `nftables` service at first run.
* Reload `nftables` service at next runs to avoid to let the host without firewall rules due to invalid syntax.
* Reload `nftables` service at next runs to avoid to let the host without firewall
rules due to invalid syntax.
