💖 cdist-type__ufw 💖

okay bestie, so this is a cdist type called cdist-type__ufw, and it's literally here to install the Uncomplicated FireWall for you. yes that's what UFW stands for. no cap. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It installs the Uncomplicated FireWall. That's the whole vibe. 💅

Most modern distros out there already carry UFW in their main repositories, so it's giving "no problem, bestie" — but on CentOS this type will automatically enable the EPEL repository for you, because CentOS wants to be ✨extra✨ about it. 🙈

Also? Some global configuration can be set with this type too. Not just the install. We're doing full glow-up here. 🎀

🦋 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 🦋

  • state — pick one of "enabled", "running", "present", or "absent". Defaults to "enabled", which registers UFW to start on boot — so it's up and running before you even get out of bed, main character energy fr fr. 👑
  • logging — pick one of "off", "low", "medium", "high", or "full". This gets passed straight to ufw logging. And listen: if you don't specify it, the logging level is not modified — it stays exactly as it was, no touching, we respect boundaries here. 🫶
  • default_incoming — pick one of "allow", "deny", or "reject". This is the default policy for dealing with ingress packets — aka the stuff coming in to you. 🚪
  • default_outgoing — pick one of "allow", "deny", or "reject". The default policy for dealing with egress packets — aka the stuff going out from you. 🚪💨
  • default_routed — pick one of "allow", "deny", or "reject". The default policy for dealing with routed packets — those are the ones just passing through this machine, like a lil tourist. 🧳✨

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

okay so here's the moment you've been waiting for, bestie, the receipts: 📜

# Install UFW
__ufw
# Setup UFW with maximum logging and no restrictions on routed packets.
__ufw --logging full --default_routed allow

the way that second one just says "maximum logging, zero restrictions on routed packets"… iconic. it ate. 💀🔥
