Public bug reported:
Hello, is it possible to implement an export/import feature into UFW?
This would increase the user friendliness of the program for people that
are less handy with linux and firewalls. I also read the manpage of UFW
but couldn't find where the configuration files are located, I had to go
to stackoverflow to find the answer.
A use case would be, user installs ufw and adds rules(e.g. 80, 8080,
443, 22, 3306), user exports the firewall configuration to a desired
folder (ufw export ./firewall rules/export 28-01-2020.log), user logs in
to second device with ufw installed and runs ufw import /firewall
rules/export 28-01-2020.log.
the "Export" feature is simply a command that copies the correct
configuration files(even if ufw changes the location of the file) to a
desired location, that way users don't have to dig into the filesystem
to find the configuration files of ufw.
** Affects: ufw
