Description

While ferm has been tremendously useful in simplifying the firewall configuration and making it modular, it was built with iptables in mind, and with the introduction of nftables has become largely obsolete.

To top it off, ferm project is for all practical purposes dead in water, and will never get ported over nftables. Majic Ansible Roles are also employing a hack in order to keep ferm working correctly with the nftables iptables wrappers.

The following should be done:

  • Switch all roles to using nftables.
  • Update role reference documentation.
  • Update usage instructions.
  • Update release notes.
