There is a customer request (bugreport) for wanting to trivially load a ruleset from a well-known location on boot, forwarded to me by M. Gerstner. A systemd service unit is hereby added to provide that functionality. This is based on various distributions attempting to do same, for example, https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nftables/tree/rawhide https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/master/main/nftables/nftables.initd https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/nftables Acked-by: Eric Garver <eric@garver.life> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

Installation instructions for nftables
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
- build tooling: glibc headers, gcc, autotools, automake, libtool, pkg-config.
|
|
|
|
- libmnl: git://git.netfilter.org/libmnl.git
|
|
|
|
- libnftnl: git://git.netfilter.org/libnftnl.git
|
|
|
|
- flex
|
|
|
|
- bison
|
|
|
|
- libgmp: alternatively, see mini-gmp support below.
|
|
|
|
- libreadline or libedit or linenoise: required by interactive command line
|
|
|
|
- optional: libxtables: required to interact with iptables-compat
|
|
|
|
- optional: libjansson: required to build JSON support
|
|
|
|
- optional: asciidoc: required for building man-page
|
|
|
|
Configuring and compiling
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Run "sh autogen.sh" to generate the configure script, then:
|
|
|
|
sh configure [options]
|
|
|
|
--prefix=
|
|
|
|
The prefix to put all installed files under. It defaults to
|
|
/usr/local, so the binaries will go into /usr/local/bin, sbin,
|
|
manpages into /usr/local/share/man, etc.
|
|
|
|
--datarootdir=
|
|
|
|
The base directory for arch-independent files. Defaults to
|
|
$prefix/share.
|
|
|
|
--with-unitdir=
|
|
|
|
Directory for systemd unit files. Defaults to the value obtained from
|
|
pkg-config for systemd.pc, and ${prefix}/lib/systemd/system as a
|
|
fallback.
|
|
|
|
--disable-debug
|
|
|
|
Disable debugging
|
|
|
|
--with-mini-gmp
|
|
|
|
Use builtin mini-gmp instead of linking with a shared libgmp.
|
|
This is useful for embedded platforms optimizing for size and
|
|
having no other use for libgmp.
|
|
Note: This decreases the debugging verbosity in some files.
|
|
|
|
--with-xtables
|
|
|
|
For libxtables support to interact with the iptables-compat
|
|
utility.
|
|
|
|
--without-cli
|
|
|
|
To disable interactive command line support, ie. -i/--interactive.
|
|
|
|
--with-cli=readline
|
|
|
|
To enable interactive command line support with libreadline.
|
|
|
|
--with-cli=linenoise
|
|
|
|
To enable interactive command line support with linenoise.
|
|
|
|
--with-cli=editline
|
|
|
|
To enable interactive command line support with libedit.
|
|
|
|
--with-json
|
|
|
|
To enable JSON support, this requires libjansson.
|
|
|
|
Run "make" to compile nftables, "make install" to install it in the
|
|
configured paths.
|
|
|
|
Python support
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
CPython bindings are available for nftables under the py/ folder. They can be
|
|
installed using pip:
|
|
|
|
python -m pip install py/
|
|
|
|
A legacy setup.py script can also be used:
|
|
|
|
( cd py && python setup.py install )
|
|
|
|
However, this method is deprecated.
