### Infrastructure setup ### Infrastructure setup
You can refer to my notes from last time for details on how I [created the Ubuntu 20.04 VM](/federated-matrix-server-synapse-on-oracle-clouds-free-tier/#instance-creation) and [configured the firewall rules](/federated-matrix-server-synapse-on-oracle-clouds-free-tier/#firewall-configuration) both at the cloud infrastructure level as well as within the host. Snikket does need a few additional [firewall ports](https://github.com/snikket-im/snikket-server/blob/master/docs/advanced/firewall.md) beyond what was needed for my Matrix setup: You can refer to my notes from last time for details on how I [created the Ubuntu 20.04 VM](/federated-matrix-server-synapse-on-oracle-clouds-free-tier/#instance-creation) and [configured the firewall rules](/federated-matrix-server-synapse-on-oracle-clouds-free-tier/#firewall-configuration) both at the cloud infrastructure level as well as within the host using `iptables`.

As a gentle reminder, Oracle's `iptables` configuration inserts a `REJECT all` rule at the bottom of each chain. I needed to make sure that each of my `ALLOW` rules got inserted above that point. So I used `iptables -L INPUT --line-numbers` to identify which line held the `REJECT` rule, and then used `iptables -I INPUT [LINE_NUMBER] -m state --state NEW -p [PROTOCOL] --dport [PORT] -j ACCEPT` to insert the new rules above that point.
```bash
sudo iptables -I INPUT 9 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 9 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 9 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dports 3478-3479 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 9 -m state --state NEW -p tcp -m multiport --dports 3478-3479 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 9 -m state --state NEW -p tcp -m multiport --dports 3478,3479 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 9 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 5000 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 9 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 5222 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 9 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 5269 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 9 -m state --state NEW -p udp -m multiport --dports 3478,3479 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 9 -m state --state NEW -p udp -m multiport --dports 5349,5350 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 9 -m state --state NEW -p udp -m multiport --dports 60000:60100 -j ACCEPT
```
Then to verify the rules are in the right order:
```bash
$ sudo iptables -L INPUT --line-numbers -n

Before moving on, it's important to save them so the rules will persist across reboots!
```bash
$ sudo netfilter-persistent save

run-parts: executing /usr/share/netfilter-persistent/plugins.d/25-ip6tables save
