This Flake provides a NixOS module, Nix package and a Nix devshell for OpenGFW.
With the packaging it is for example possible to run OpenGFW from anywhere just by:

nix run github:apernet/OpenGFW

The module adds a Systemd Service by an unprivileged user, who is able to run OpenGFW via a wrapper for the cap_net_admin capability.

It provides the following options:

  • user
  • dir
  • rulesFile
  • settingsFile
  • settings
  • rules
  • package

Using it would look something like this:

{...}: {
  services.opengfw = {
    enable = true;
    settings = {
      io = {
        queueSize = 1024;
        local = true;
      };

      workers = {
        count = 4;
        queueSize = 16;
        tcpMaxBufferedPagesTotal = 4096;
        tcpMaxBufferedPagesPerConn = 64;
        udpMaxStreams = 4096;
      };
    };

    rules = [
      {
        name = "block CN geoip";
        action = "block";
        expr = ''geoip(string(ip.dst), "cn")'';
      }
      {
        name = "v2ex dns poisoning";
        action = "modify";
        modifier = {
          name = "dns";
          args = {
            a = "0.0.0.0";
            aaaa = "::";
          };
        };
        expr = ''dns != nil && dns.qr && any(dns.questions, {.name endsWith "v2ex.com"})'';
      }
    ];
  };
}

You can either set rules/settings, rulesFile/settingsFile or put config.yaml and rules.yaml manually to dir. Then it is also possible to reload the service on changes, as it sends SIGHUP to $MAINPID.


One downside of this is, that you would need to run gomod2nix with every change to go.mod for the package to work:

nix develop --command gomod2nix

Thanks for your contribution.

Supporting the Nix ecosystem is definitely a good idea. However, I think this PR has added too many files to this repo, which will always require maintenance in the future. Especially, as the OpenGFW is not a Nix-related project, maintaining these files will increase the complexity of future development.

Could you please consider maintaining this Nix Flake in a separate repo? We can include a reference in our README.md.

BTW I Use NixOS.

I could do that.
I will also try to get this into nixpkgs, even though the README suggests that the project isn't ready for general use.

Hi,
the flake is available here for now, as my nixpkgs pull request hasn't received a comment or review in 5 days. It would be great if someone could take a quick look at the module's documentation or review my pull request.
