Web UI for firewalld

FirewallD Web

What is it?

This is the WebUI of firewallD. The purposes are:

  1. It is not a simply alternative of firewalld in CLI; It is a centralized iptable management which can manage iptables cross multiple servers;
  2. It should support tags for each server, then do role based rule and access management.

How it works?

There a two parts in this project:

  1. FirewallD agent:
    This is the agent which is installed in each server along with iptables. The agent register to server, accept the command requests from server side; Collect status data and send it back to server. Agent communicates with server through REST API.
  2. FirewallD web server: User access sevice through web browser to view/create/change servers, rules, tags, create segment by tags;
    Server communicates with agents through REST API, collect information from agent, compute rules, then send commands to agent to manage the iptables.
