Track summary statistic of total HTTP response durations using a
middleware that applies for all requests instead of having every request
needing to update the hit counter manually. Deprecates
endpointHitCounter.
Add /api/upload-save endpoint that streams the data via the slave
assigned to the target instance to the instance saves directory, along
with a ctl command and web interface button to do the upload.
Add authentication plugin that does a simple challenge response protocol
to verify that the player trying to log in is who they claim to be. The
process goes as follows:
1. A player code is generated for a player that wants to log in and is
displayed in-game.
2. The player code is input into the web interface and the master
generates a verification code as a challenge back along with a token.
3. The player inputs the verification code in-game and is logged in to
the web interface in doing so.
To do the actual login the web interface polls a verify endpoint every 2
seconds until the code has either been verified or expired. The
challenge comes from being unable to control the verification code and
having to input it as a player logging into one of the servers in order
to login.
Some additional steps are taken in order to increase the difficulty for
an attacker to subvert the challenge:
- The login process must be started from in-game.
- Generated codes are only valid for a limited timespan which is
configurable and 2 minutes by default.
- The verification code comes with a token that only works with one
player code and verification code combo and must be provided to pass
validation.
When reducing the collection interval in Prometheus it may be necessary
to to reduce the metrics gathering timeout to ensure it's less than the
interval. Add config options to adjust the timeouts used for metrics
gathering so that these can be set accordingly.
Add winston based logger for master, slave, ctl, lib, and web_ui code.
Logging done from slaves and instances are sent to the master server and
tagged with the instance and/or slave it originated from. This allows
for example error messages to propagate back to the source that iniated
the action. The master server also stores the log to allow it to be
queried at a later point. For slaves a copy of the slave's log is also
stored locally.
Add a sendRcon method to BaseInstancePlugin and the slave's Instance
class. This servers two purposes, one is to reduce the repetition when
send RCON commands particularly from plugins, and the other is to
instrument the RCON commands sent with metrics about duration and size.
Use lib* prefix for the modules impored from the lib package to help
distinguish them more from ordinary variables. Fix up the naming
convention for files to be consistently lowercase_underscore for
JavaScript files.
Make the config and link libraries compatible with packing for web with
webpack. This would fail due to ws not being web compatible and config
using a node function not available in the web shim for util.
Split up codebase into the packages @clsterio/lib, @clusterio/master,
@clusterio/slave, and @clusterio/ctl using lerna to manage them. This
will allow deployment to use only the parts needed reducing install
size, and better separate the code into shared library, master, slave
and control.
Turn the flat list of commands into a hierarchy of commands, converting
most required parameters into positional parameters and add plugin
loading support for clusterctl.
Implement notification to plugins for disconnect request, connect, drop,
and close. This allows plugins to properly handle slaves and the master
server shutting down without sending messages that will get lost.
Replace socket.io with plain WebSocket using the ws library as it
doesn't really provide any useful tools over plain WebSocket when it
comes to implementing reliable communication that works across
reconnects. The widespread browser support for WebSocket also means
it has little value to add for the web interface over WebSocket.
Remove connection and client subclasses of Link and put the connection
logic into a "connector" class. The connector deals with sending
and receiving messages, handling the connection and reconnection of lost
connections and giving sequence numbers to messages.
This move the logic of the actual connection away from the link
sub-classes, which in turn means the connection should be a lot easier
to mock in tests.
