The tasks example stopped working on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04) due to the use of missing syscalls, which have been added in this fix. In addition, the definition files have been updated to include the newer clone3 system call (in the Linux kernel since 5.6) for new process and thread creation.
Adding the hooks keyword with a dictionary attached to specify
the relevant hooks will hook them for the given route.
Eg:
domain.route("/", self.index, methods=["get"],
hooks={
"on_free": self.request_free
}
)
These are the same hooks available via a normal Kore route configuration.
Routes are now configured in a context per route:
route /path {
handler handler_name
methods get post head
validate qs:get id v_id
}
All route related configurations are per-route, allowing multiple
routes for the same path (for different methods).
The param context is removed and merged into the route context now
so that you use the validate keyword to specify what needs validating.
- Try harder to mark integers as KORE_JSON_TYPE_INTEGER, especially if
they fit in the internal representation of one (int64_t).
- Move error codes into the JSON code itself, rather then requiring
a kore_json data structure. This allows the JSON API to relay errors
such as "item not found" or "type mismatch" properly when looking at items.
- When asking for a KORE_JSON_TYPE_INTEGER_U64 and a KORE_JSON_TYPE_INTEGER
was found with the same name, check if it could be returned properly and do
so if possible.
A new acme process is created that communicates with the acme servers.
This process does not hold any of your private keys (no account keys,
no domain keys etc).
Whenever the acme process requires a signed payload it will ask the keymgr
process to do the signing with the relevant keys.
This process is also sandboxed with pledge+unveil on OpenBSD and seccomp
syscall filtering on Linux.
The implementation only supports the tls-alpn-01 challenge. This means that
you do not need to open additional ports on your machine.
http-01 and dns-01 are currently not supported (no wildcard support).
A new configuration option "acme_provider" is available and can be set
to the acme server its directory. By default this will point to the
live letsencrypt environment:
https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
The acme process can be controlled via the following config options:
- acme_root (where the acme process will chroot/chdir into).
- acme_runas (the user the acme process will run as).
If none are set, the values from 'root' and 'runas' are taken.
If you want to turn on acme for domains you do it as follows:
domain kore.io {
acme yes
}
You do not need to specify certkey/certfile anymore, if they are present
still
they will be overwritten by the acme system.
The keymgr will store all certificates and keys under its root
(keymgr_root), the account key is stored as "/account-key.pem" and all
obtained certificates go under "certificates/<domain>/fullchain.pem" while
keys go under "certificates/<domain>/key.pem".
Kore will automatically renew certificates if they will expire in 7 days
or less.
Before kore needed to be built with NOTLS=1 to be able to do non TLS
connections. This has been like this for years.
It is time to allow non TLS listeners without having to rebuild Kore.
This commit changes your configuration format and will break existing
applications their config.
Configurations now get listener {} contexts:
listen default {
bind 127.0.0.1 8888
}
The above will create a listener on 127.0.0.1, port 8888 that will serve
TLS (still the default).
If you want to turn off TLS on that listener, specify "tls no" in that
context.
Domains now need to be attached to a listener:
Eg:
domain * {
attach default
}
For the Python API this kills kore.bind(), and kore.bind_unix(). They are
replaced with:
kore.listen("name", ip=None, port=None, path=None, tls=True).
With this commit all Kore processes (minus the parent) are running
under seccomp.
The worker processes get the bare minimum allowed syscalls while each module
like curl, pgsql, etc will add their own filters to allow what they require.
New API functions:
int kore_seccomp_filter(const char *name, void *filter, size_t len);
Adds a filter into the seccomp system (must be called before
seccomp is enabled).
New helpful macro:
define KORE_SYSCALL_ALLOW(name)
Allow the syscall with a given name, should be used in
a sock_filter data structure.
New hooks:
void kore_seccomp_hook(void);
Called before seccomp is enabled, allows developers to add their
own BPF filters into seccomp.
- decouple pgsql from the HTTP request allowing it to be used in other
contexts as well (such as a task, etc).
- change names to dbsetup() and dbquery().
eg:
result = kore.dbquery("db", "select foo from bar")
This commit adds the CURL=1 build option. When enabled allows
you to schedule CURL easy handles onto the Kore event loop.
It also adds an easy to use HTTP client API that abstracts away the
settings required from libcurl to make HTTP requests.
Tied together with HTTP request state machines this means you can
write fully asynchronous HTTP client requests in an easy way.
Additionally this exposes that API to the Python code as well
allowing you do to things like:
client = kore.httpclient("https://kore.io")
status, body = await client.get()
Introduces 2 configuration options:
- curl_recv_max
Max incoming bytes for a response.
- curl_timeout
Timeout in seconds before a transfer is cancelled.
This API also allows you to take the CURL easy handle and send emails
with it, run FTP, etc. All asynchronously.
Attach the events directly to the pysocket data structure instead of
one event per pysocket_op.
Makes the code easier, gives us a good performance boost and reduces
the number of system calls required when doing an await on a socket.
