These rules could be used to run arbitrary code onthe server.If you are a hosting provider, and you don't want to allow Peertube admins to write such rules, youcan disable the online editing by creating a `disable_mod_firewall_editing` file in the plugin directory (`plugins/data/peertube-plugin-livechat/disable_mod_firewall_editing`).Thisis opt-out, as Peertube admins can already run arbitrary code just by installing any plugin.Youcan still use mod_firewall by editing files directly onthe server.
Youcan also edit these firewall rules directly onthe server, in the `plugins/data/peertube-plugin-livechat/prosody/mod_firewall_config/` directory.File names must only contains alphanumerical characters, underscores and hyphens.The extension must be `.pfw`, or `.pfw.disabled` if you want to disable a file.Please be sure that the peertube system user has write access to these files, else the web editing interface will fail.Once you have edited these files, you must reload prosody.Thiscan be done by saving the plugin settings, or saving the mod_firewall configuration in the web interface, or by restarting Peertube.
When you save the configuration, the server will automatically reload it, and your rules will apply immediatly.Youcan check that there isno parsing error in the Prosody error log.To do so, youcan read the `plugins/data/peertube-plugin-livechat/prosody/prosody.err` file, or use the [diagnostic tool](/peertube-plugin-livechat/documentation/installation/troubleshooting/) that will show last Prosody errors.
Don't hesitate to share your rules.To do so, youcan for example edit this [page](/peertube-plugin-livechat/contributing/document/#write-documentation).
