NftTools
Help interacting with nftables
NftTools provides helpers to work with nftables from Python. It builds on python-nftables which itself uses libnftables. Note that the API is not yet stable and can change from one version to the next.
Features
- Convert an nftables rule into its JSON representation.
- Validate an nftables rule by temporary applying it in a helper chain.
- Convert simple rules into a dictionary representation.
- Convert that dictionary representation into an nftables rule.
- Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
- Provides limited support for sets.
Installation
Install using PyPi:
pip3 install nfttools
Note: The tool uses python3-nftables as dependency. If you don't use Debian's operating system package (or Alpine's py3-nftables) but attempt to install pip-nftables instead, the latter might complain on missing "schema.json". Workaround: Use the operating system package or copy it's "schema.json" to the place pip-nftables is looking for that file.
Reporting bugs
In case you encounter any bugs, please report the expected behavior and the actual behavior so that the issue can be reproduced and fixed.
