About votre instance GitHub Enterprise Server's firewall
GitHub Enterprise Server uses Ubuntu's Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) on the virtual appliance. For more information see "UFW" in the Ubuntu documentation. GitHub Enterprise Server automatically updates the firewall allowlist of allowed services with each release.
After you install GitHub Enterprise Server, all required network ports are automatically opened to accept connections. Every non-required port is automatically configured as deny
, and the default outgoing policy is configured as allow
. Stateful tracking is enabled for any new connections; these are typically network packets with the SYN
bit set. For more information, see "Network ports."
The UFW firewall also opens several other ports that are required for GitHub Enterprise Server to operate properly. For more information on the UFW rule set, see the UFW README.
We do not recommend customizing UFW as it can complicate some troubleshooting issues.
Viewing the default firewall rules
-
Connexion SSH à votre instance GitHub Enterprise Server. Si votre instance comprend plusieurs nœuds, par exemple si la haute disponibilité ou la géoréplication sont configurées, connectez-vous via SSH au nœud principal. Si vous utilisez un cluster, vous pouvez vous connecter via SSH à n’importe quel nœud. Remplacez HOSTNAME par le nom d’hôte de votre instance, le nom d’hôte ou l’adresse IP d’un nœud. Pour plus d’informations, consultez « Accès à l’interpréteur de commandes d’administration (SSH) ».
Shell ssh -p 122 admin@HOSTNAME
ssh -p 122 admin@HOSTNAME

To view the default firewall rules, use the
sudo ufw status
command. You should see output similar to this:$ sudo ufw status > Status: active > To Action From > -- ------ ---- > ghe-1194 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-122 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-161 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-22 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-25 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-443 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-80 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-8080 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-8443 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-9418 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-1194 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-122 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-161 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-22 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-25 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-443 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-80 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-8080 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-8443 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-9418 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
Adding custom firewall rules
Warning: Before you add custom firewall rules, back up your current rules in case you need to reset to a known working state. If you're locked out of your server, visit Support GitHub Enterprise and contact us to reconfigure the original firewall rules. Restoring the original firewall rules involves downtime for your server.
-
Configure a custom firewall rule.
-
Check the status of each new rule with the
status numbered
command.sudo ufw status numbered
-
To back up your custom firewall rules, use the
cp
command to move the rules to a new file.sudo cp -r /etc/ufw ~/ufw.backup
After you upgrade votre instance GitHub Enterprise Server, you must reapply your custom firewall rules. We recommend that you create a script to reapply your firewall custom rules.
Restoring the default firewall rules
If something goes wrong after you change the firewall rules, you can reset the rules from your original backup.
Warning: If you didn't back up the original rules before making changes to the firewall, visit Support GitHub Enterprise and contact us for further assistance.

To restore the previous backup rules, copy them back to the firewall with the
cp
command.sudo cp -f ~/ufw.backup/*rules /etc/ufw
-
Restart the firewall with the
systemctl
command.sudo systemctl restart ufw
-
Confirm that the rules are back to their defaults with the
ufw status
command.$ sudo ufw status > Status: active > To Action From > -- ------ ---- > ghe-1194 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-122 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-161 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-22 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-25 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-443 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-80 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-8080 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-8443 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-9418 ALLOW Anywhere > ghe-1194 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-122 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-161 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-22 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-25 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-443 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-80 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-8080 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-8443 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) > ghe-9418 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
