We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

Documentation

puppetfinland/knockd — version 1.0.1 Jun 16th 2022

puppet-knockd

This module manages knockd.

Examples

Open SSH port to any IP that provides the correct knock sequence, then close it automatically after 30 seconds:

class { 'knockd':
  interface => $facts['networking']['primary'],
}

knockd::sequence { 'openCloseSSH':
  sequence      => '2222,3333,4444',
  seq_timeout   => 15,
  start_command => '/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -s %IP% -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT',
  cmd_timeout   => 30,
  stop_command  => '/sbin/iptables -D INPUT -s %IP% -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT',
}

The stop_command is not mandatory, but required for automatic cleanup. See class documentation for additional options. Use two knockd::sequence resources without a stop_command if you want one sequence to open a port, and another one to close a port.
