Subject: [PATCH pve-firewall 06/13] firewall: add restore command
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 15:54:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721135407.372150-7-a.bied-charreton@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721135407.372150-1-a.bied-charreton@proxmox.com>
Add a 'restore' command that recompiles and applies the firewall from
the config dumped to /var/lib/pve/firewall, to bridge the boot window
before pmxcfs (and thus the real config) is available.
It reuses update() with a local flag: configs are loaded from the local
dumps instead of pmxcfs and nothing is dumped back. A missing or
unreadable SDN dump is treated as empty, and rules referencing an
unavailable IPSet are skipped, so a partial dump still restores the rest
on a best-effort basis.
For the cluster and host config, a user-provided .override or a .new
written by the pve-network-interface-pinning take precedence over the
plain dump when present (.override -> .new -> plain).
