Raspberry Pi

ToutWAF on a Raspberry Pi or another 64-bit ARM server: required system, target boards, memory and storage. Experimental: never tried on real ARM hardware.

All ways to install

Quale versione installi

La versione pubblica è una versione di sviluppo, chiamata 0.3.0-dev. Il suo nome non cambia: ogni pubblicazione sostituisce la precedente e un identificativo di build distingue due build. Non esiste ancora una versione stabile: sarà pubblicata solo quando ogni sistema e ogni pacchetto saranno stati testati end to end. I comandi di questa pagina installano quindi dal canale dev. Una versione di sviluppo può contenere difetti: provala su un sito di prova prima di farci affidamento.

At a glance

  • A 64-bit system is required: Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit (Bookworm / Debian 12 or newer), Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 arm64, Debian 12 or 13 arm64. 32-bit (armv7l, armhf) is not supported and not planned, even on a Pi 4 or 5.
  • Target boards: Raspberry Pi 5, 4, 400 and CM4; Pi 3 and CM3 (1 GB: data plane only); Pi Zero 2 W (512 MB: not recommended). Pi 2 v1.1, Zero, Zero W and Pi 1: not supported. Other arm64 servers (Graviton, Ampere) use the same build.
  • Memory: the installer warns below 1 GB; for all-in-one (console, data plane and policy database on the same board) plan for 2 GB or more.
  • Storage: prefer an SSD or a good USB or NVMe drive to an SD card, which wears out with continuous writes and can be corrupted by a power loss. Choose the location with --home.

The commands, step by step

Check that the system is 64-bit

uname -m must print aarch64 and getconf LONG_BIT must print 64. Otherwise flash a 64-bit image with Raspberry Pi Imager: an in-place conversion is not possible.

bash
uname -m                    # aarch64 = 64-bit kernel (armv7l = 32-bit: unsupported)
getconf LONG_BIT            # must print 64
dpkg --print-architecture   # Debian family: arm64 is required (armhf = 32-bit system)

Check compatibility without installing

The script prints the verdict and the table of supported systems, and changes nothing on the machine.

bash
curl -fsSL https://repo.qu3ntin.com/toutwaf/toutwaf/-/raw/dev/install.sh -o install.sh
sudo bash install.sh --check-compat

Installa con l'installer in una riga

Lo script scarica i binari nativi per la tua architettura, crea un utente dedicato senza privilegi e installa i servizi systemd rafforzati toutwaf-dp (data plane, porte 80 e 443) e toutwaf-cp (control plane e console, porta 9443), poi mostra le informazioni per il primo accesso.

bash
curl -fsSL https://repo.qu3ntin.com/toutwaf/toutwaf/-/raw/dev/install.sh | sudo bash

Opzioni dell'installer

Una nuova installazione risiede in un'unica cartella, /var/toutwaf (bin, conf, data e logs; cambiala con --home DIR o TOUTWAF_HOME), e gli strumenti da riga di comando sono collegati in /usr/local/bin. Un'installazione precedente mantiene i propri percorsi (/etc/toutwaf, /var/lib/toutwaf) e non viene mai spostata.

options
# only let your admin network reach the console (port 9443)
curl -fsSL https://repo.qu3ntin.com/toutwaf/toutwaf/-/raw/dev/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --console-from 203.0.113.0/24

# do not touch the host firewall / choose the installation home
curl -fsSL https://repo.qu3ntin.com/toutwaf/toutwaf/-/raw/dev/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --no-firewall
curl -fsSL https://repo.qu3ntin.com/toutwaf/toutwaf/-/raw/dev/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --home /opt/toutwaf

# name the channel explicitly (the installer of the dev branch already takes the dev channel; no stable version exists yet)
curl -fsSL https://repo.qu3ntin.com/toutwaf/toutwaf/-/raw/dev/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --channel dev

Watch memory before putting real traffic on it

No memory measurement has been made on ARM: watch it, keep the number of sites and the rule sets small on a small board, and enable swap with care (never heavy swap on an SD card).

bash
systemctl status toutwaf-dp --no-pager
free -h

Gestisci i servizi

Entrambi i servizi si avviano al boot. Usa questi comandi per avviarli, fermarli o riavviarli.

systemd
sudo systemctl enable --now toutwaf-cp toutwaf-dp
sudo systemctl restart toutwaf-cp toutwaf-dp
sudo systemctl stop toutwaf-dp toutwaf-cp

Verifica i servizi

bash
sudo systemctl status toutwaf-cp toutwaf-dp --no-pager
toutwafctl doctor
curl -kI https://127.0.0.1:9443/
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9101/healthz
sudo journalctl -u toutwaf-dp -u toutwaf-cp -n 50 --no-pager

Aggiorna

Fai il backup della configurazione e dei dati, poi riesegui l'installer: mantiene le tue impostazioni e torna indietro da solo se la nuova versione non diventa sana. I percorsi mostrati sono quelli di una nuova installazione (/var/toutwaf); un'installazione precedente mantiene /etc/toutwaf e /var/lib/toutwaf. Puoi anche aggiornare dalla console, nella pagina Aggiornamenti.

bash
sudo mkdir -p /var/toutwaf.bak
sudo cp -a /var/toutwaf/conf /var/toutwaf/data /var/toutwaf.bak/
curl -fsSL https://repo.qu3ntin.com/toutwaf/toutwaf/-/raw/dev/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --update --yes
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9101/healthz

Disinstalla

Il primo blocco rimuove i servizi, i binari e le regole del firewall aggiunte da ToutWAF, e conserva i tuoi dati. Il secondo elimina anche configurazione, dati e log.

bash
curl -fsSL https://repo.qu3ntin.com/toutwaf/toutwaf/-/raw/dev/install.sh -o install.sh
sudo bash install.sh --uninstall
purge
sudo bash install.sh --uninstall --purge

What is not verified

We prefer to say it plainly.

  • The arm64 build has been compiled and run only under emulation (QEMU): it has not been tested on any Raspberry Pi or other real ARM hardware. What this page says about real hardware is guidance, not a validated result.
  • The installer has not been run on arm64 (systemd, firewall, units); the hardened release build for arm64 has not been built.
  • No performance, memory or SD-card measurement has been made, and none is claimed: test your own traffic (toutwaf-dp bench) before relying on it.
