Arch Linux

Oops this package for systemd files only. Ignore my comment.

I suggest to merge this package into nftables-git to avoid duplication. nftables-git contains the systemd file from this package anyway.

I can orphan nftables-git so you can keep improving it.

You need to load all of your nftables modules at boot else you'll get that crazy error m5f4k8 was getting. What I did was create /etc/modules-load.d/nftables.conf with the modules shown by "lsmod | grep nf".

I have the same problem as m5f4k8 and adding After=systemd-modules-load.service did not solve it.
So it seems to depend on something other that is not yet loaded.

I can also just guess here. Maybe the relevant modules aren't loaded yet in the booting process?

You could try to place
After=systemd-modules-load.service
in the [Unit] section of the service file.

Looks like it's started too early in the boot process (some other requirement is not ready yet, but that's just a guess).
After every boot, I get an empty rule set, access to my system is completely open (no firewall at all, rules not applied), and there are error messages in the log:

May 16 14:50:45 cml.m5k8.net nftablesctl[307]: /etc/nftables/firewall.rules:14:1-2: Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
May 16 14:50:45 cml.m5k8.net nftablesctl[307]: table firewall {
May 16 14:50:45 cml.m5k8.net nftablesctl[307]: ^^

After I log in and do a manual nftablesctl restart, all rules are applied properly.

I submitted this package when nftables was only available through AUR. Updated to depend on nftables instead of nftables-git and changed the install command for the renamed (nftables-ctl => nftablesctl) script.

Is there a particular reason that this depends on nftables-git?

It works fine with the nftables in Community, for me.

The systemd files from nftables-systemd are added to nftables-git project.
