✨ cdist-type__iptables_apply ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the cdist-type__iptables_apply manual page (it lives in section 7 of the cdist manuals, iykyk) 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

cdist-type__iptables_apply — literally just Apply the rules 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this cdist type deploys an init script that triggers the configured rules <em>and</em> also re-applies them on configuration. no cap. 🔥

The rules get written from __iptables_rule into the folder /etc/iptables.d/. 💅

Here's the vibe breakdown of where rules live:

  • it reads all the rules from the base folder as rules for IPv4 🍓
  • rules in the subfolder v6/ are IPv6 rules 🌈
  • rules in the subfolder all/ get applied to both rule tables 👑

and every single file contains the arguments for a single iptables and/or ip6tables command. that's it, that's the whole file. ✨

🎀 the order, bestie (this part matters) 🎀

Rules are applied in the following order:

  1. All IPv4 rules
  2. All IPv6 rules
  3. All rules that should be applied to both tables
not me noticing the numbering says 2. twice 🙈 i'm just the messenger, the list is the list, we move on 💀

The order of the rules that will be applied is definite from the result the shell glob returns, which should be alphabetical. 📚

So if rules must be applied in a special order, prefix them with a number like 02-some-rule. numbering them is the moment fr fr ⭐

💜 REQUIRED PARAMETERS 💜

💜 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 💜

🌟 EXAMPLES 🌟

None (__iptables_apply is used by __iptables_rule automatically) — yeah she's a behind-the-scenes queen, main character energy but she doesn't need the spotlight 💅
