Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

iptables Cookbook

Cookbook Version

Installs iptables and provides a custom resource for adding and removing iptables rules

Requirements

  • RHEL/CentOS and derivatives
  • Amazon Linux

Chef

  • Chef 12.15+

Cookbooks

Recipes

default

The default recipe will install iptables and provides a pair of resources for managing firewall rules for both iptables and ip6tables.

disabled

The disabled recipe will install iptables, disable the iptables service (on RHEL platforms), and flush the current iptables and ip6tables rules.

Attributes

default['iptables']['iptables_sysconfig'] and default['iptables']['ip6tables_sysconfig'] are hashes that are used to template /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config and /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables-config. The keys must be upper case and any key / value pair included will be added to the config file.

default['iptables']['persisted_rules_iptables'] and default['iptables']['persisted_rules_ip6tables'] are strings that are used to hold the location of the generated iptables-save/iptables-restore format file containing the firewall rules for the system.

default['iptables']['persisted_rules_template'] is a hash that contains the base structure for the generated persisted rule files containing the default tables and chains.

Custom Resource

chain

Use this resource to create ip(6)tables chains that can be later referenced in rules, this resource contains the same accumulated template resource that the rule resource does but only deals with the creation of chains.

Property Optional? Type Description
source Yes String Source template for the generation of the persistent rules file
cookbook Yes String Source cookbook for the generation of the persistent rules file
config_file Yes String Persistent rules file to generate
table Yes String The iptables table to create the chain on (defaults to filter)
chain No String, Array, Hash The chain name and optionally default action and packet counts
filemode Yes String, Integer Filemode of the the persistent rules file

The chain property accepts entries in the following formats:

Chain without default action and packet counts (in this case default action will be set to -)

String
'NEWCHAIN'
Array of String
['NEWCHAIN1', 'NEWCHAIN2', 'NEWCHAIN3']
Hash
{ 'NEWCHAIN' => ''}

Chain with default action but no packet counts

String
'NEWCHAIN -'
Array of String
['NEWCHAIN1 ACCEPT', 'NEWCHAIN2 REJECT', 'NEWCHAIN3 DROP']
Hash
{ 'NEWCHAIN' => 'DROP'}

Chain with default action and packet counts

String
'NEWCHAIN ACCEPT [123:123]'
Array of String
['NEWCHAIN1 ACCEPT [0:0]', 'NEWCHAIN2 REJECT [1:1]', 'NEWCHAIN3 DROP [322:322]']
Hash
{ 'NEWCHAIN' => 'DROP [0:0]'}

chain6

The iptables_chain6 provides IPv6 support with the same behavior as the original iptables_chain.

rule

The custom resource contains an accumulated template resource which generates the persisted rule file which notifies the reload of the firewall rules at the end of the chef run. See Examples below.

NOTE: In the 5.0 release of this cookbook the iptables_rule definition was converted to an accumulated template resource. This changes the behavior of disabling iptables rules. Previously a rule needed to be disabled explicitly by calling the resource with :disable. Now as soon as a rule resource is no longer included in the chef run it will not be added to the accumulated template and will be automatically removed.

Property Optional? Type Description
source Yes String Source template for the generation of the persistent rules file
cookbook Yes String Source cookbook for the generation of the persistent rules file
config_file Yes String Persistent rules file to generate
table Yes String The iptables table to create the chain on (defaults to filter)
chain No (1) String The chain name to be used if the rule is generated from properties
match Yes String The match settings for the rule
target No (1) String The target for the rule
line No (2) String A string containing a complete iptables rule statement, no generation takes place
comment Yes String, True, False The comment for the rule if a string, use resource name if true, no comment if false
extra_options Yes String Extra options to appended to the rule after the destination -j XXXXX
filemode Yes String, Integer Filemode of the the persistent rules file

The resource can be called with one of two property sets:

  1. chain and target are set (match optionally), in which case line is ignored.
  2. chain and target are unset in which case line used.

rule6

The iptables_rule6 provides IPv6 support with the same behavior as the original iptable_rule.

Usage

Add recipe[iptables] to your runlist to ensure iptables is installed and running on the system. Then create use iptables_rule/ip6tables_rule to add individual rules. See Examples.

Since certain chains can be used with multiple tables (e.g., PREROUTING), you might have to include the name of the table explicitly using the table property (i.e., *nat, *mangle, etc.), so that the resource can infer how to assemble the final ruleset file that is going to be loaded. Please note, that unless specified otherwise, rules will be added under the filter table by default.

Examples

To enable port 80, e.g. in an my_httpd cookbook, create the following rule resource:

# Port 80 for http
iptables_chain 'fwr' do
  chain 'FWR'
end

iptables_rule 'httpd' do
  line '-A FWR -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT'
end

or to generate:

# Port 80 for http
iptables_chain 'fwr' do
  chain 'FWR'
end

iptables_rule 'httpd' do
  chain 'FWR'
  match '-p tcp -m tcp --dport 80'
  target 'ACCEPT'
end

To redirect port 80 to local port 8080, e.g., in the aforementioned my_httpd cookbook, create the following rule resource:

# Redirect anything on eth0 coming to port 80 to local port 8080
iptables_rule 'httpd' do
  table 'nat'
  chain 'PREROUTING'
  match '-i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80'
  target 'REDIRECT'
  extra_options '--to-port 8080'
end

To create a rule without using the line property (you can optionally specify table when using line):

iptables_rule 'http_8080' do
  line '-A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080'
  table 'nat'
end

Additionally, a rule can be marked as sensitive so it's contents does not get output to the the console or logged with the sensitive property set to true. The mode of the generated rule file can be set with the filemode property:

iptables_rule 'http_8080' do
  line '-A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080'
  table 'nat'
  sensitive true
end
iptables_rule 'http_8080' do
  line '-A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080'
  table 'nat'
  sensitive true
  filemode '0600'
end

To get attribute-driven rules you can (for example) feed a hash of attributes into named iptables.d files like this:

node.default['iptables']['rules']['http_80'] = '-A FWR -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT'
node.default['iptables']['rules']['http_443'] = [
  '# an example with multiple lines',
  '-A FWR -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT',
]

node['iptables']['rules'].map do |rule_name, rule_body|
  iptables_rule rule_name do
    line [ rule_body ].flatten.join("\n")
  end
end

v1.0.0 (2015-04-29)

NOTE: This release includes breaking changes to the behavior of this cookbook. The iptables_rule definition was converted to a LWRP. This changes the behavior of disabling iptables rules. Previously a rule could be disabled by specifying enable false. You must now specify action :disable. Additionally the cookbook no longer installs the out of the box iptables rules. These were rules made assumptions about the operating environment and should not have been installed out of the box. This makes this recipe a library cookbook that can be better wrapped to meet the needs or your particular environment.
- Definition converted to a LWRP to providing why-run support and
- The out of the box iptables rules are no longer installed. If you need these rules you'll need to wrap the cookbook and use the LWRP to define these same rules.
- Removed all references to the roadmap and deprecation of the cookbook. It's not going anywhere any time soon
- Use platform_family to better support Debian derivatives
- Converted file / directory modes to strings to preserve the leading 0
- Added additional RHEL derivitive distributions to the metadata
- Expanded excluded files in the gitignore and chefignore files
- Included the latest contributing documentation to match the current process
