Apply an existing 100+ rules for a package, to another similar package?

[Nicolai-Nielsen]

Hi,

I already have a 100+ rules (manually granted connections) for a browser profile, and was wondering if I could use/appl the same rules for another package!

I tried copying the rules, modify & rename them, then adding them to /etc/opensnitchd/rules/
Modify file contents:
find . -type f -exec sed -i 's|/home/user/Packages/package1/|/home/user/Packages/package2/|g' {} +
but could not get opensnitch to load, and I do not know why! Only thing that I can think of is the timestamps in the files, which I do not know how to "reset"

Anyone has any good tips?

In the meantime, I'll research replacing:

        "data": "/home/user/Packages/package1",
        "type": "simple",

with

        "data": "^((/home/user/Packages/package1)|(/home/user/Packages/package2))$",
        "type": "regexp",

timestamps would still be an issue!

  "created": "2024-10-12T15:54:25.17024875+02:00",
  "updated": "2024-10-12T15:54:25.172633827+02:00",

hi @Nicolai-Nielsen !

Create new file names for the new rules, and change the name of the rules to match the file name.
The timestamps don't really matter.

"data": "^((/home/user/Packages/package1)|(/home/user/Packages/package2))$",

This should be enough to apply a rule to 2 packages. You can simplify it as this: ^(/home/user/Packages/package1|/home/user/Packages/package2)$

In any case, if you change the Log Level to DEBUG, you should see errors on why the rules are not loaded.
