- Remove the edge trigger io hacks we had in place.
- Use level triggered io for the libcurl fds instead.
- Batch all curl events together and process them at the end
of our worker event loop.
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.
Changes kore_curl_init() to take a flag parameter, much like pgsql api
in which you specify KORE_CURL_ASYNC or KORE_CURL_SYNC.
If KORE_CURL_ASYNC is specified, Kore will behave as before.
If Kore_CURL_SYNC is specified, Kore will execute the libcurl immediately
and return once it has been completed.
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).
More BPF helper macros, more helper for granular syscall checking.
Use these throughout kore where it makes sense.
The new helpers:
- KORE_SYSCALL_DENY_ARG(name, arg, value, errno):
Deny the system call with errno if the argument matches value.
- KORE_SYSCALL_DENY_MASK(name, arg, mask, errno):
Deny the system call with errno if the mask argument does not match
the exact mask given.
- KORE_SYSCALL_DENY_WITH_FLAG(name, arg, flag, errno):
Deny the system call with errno if the argument contains the
given flag.
The reverse also exists:
- KORE_SYSCALL_ALLOW_ARG()
- KORE_SYSCALL_ALLOW_MASK()
- KORE_SYSCALL_ALLOW_WITH_FLAG()
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.
In case libcurl instructs us to call the timeout function as soon
as possible (timeout == 0 in curl_timeout), don't try to be clever
with a timeout value of 10ms.
Instead call the timeout function once we get back in the worker
event loop. This makes things a lot snappier as we don't depend
on epoll/kqueue waiting for io for 10ms (which actually isn't 10ms...).
Introduce kore_curl_strerror(), use this in kore_curl_logerror()
instead of assuming our errbuf has been populated.
Also use it in the python httpclient when throwing an exception rather
then looking at the errbuf member which may or may not be empty.
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.
