Pull the LineSplitter class out of lib/factorio to its own stream module
and refactor it to be based on stream.Transform. This allows composing
with other streams by piping it around.
Add the roles and their permissions for the user the control connection
is connected as along with updates when these change. This enables the
web interface to know which permissions it has available to it.
Add optional limit to the number of log records to return in the
log query request to avoid having the web interface instance console
download the entire log for only to show a few hundred lines from it.
To make it possible to query the end of the log instead of just the
start add an order option as well.
Refine the state flow used in the connector abstractions to better
handle close while connecting and resuming. The new logic is to close
the connection immediately in these two states instead of continuing
trying to connect and then giving up some point later.
For the connectors the handshake state is split into connecting
and resuming, new is replaced by closed, and the closing state is turned
into a boolean flag as it's possible that closing is desired while
connecting, connected or resuming. The connecting state is not present
in the server connector because there's nothing for the server to do in
that connector state.
The timeout logic is completely removed, once a connection attempt is
started for the client it will continue to attempt to connect, attempt
to resume dropped connections and attempt reconnects until either an
authentication error occurs or the client explicitly requests to close
the connection.
A new session timeout is added to control how long to attempt to resume
the connection until it's considered dead and invalidated. This allows
stale connections to give up earlier, and swallow up less data while in
the dropped but not yet invalidated state.
For the client side sending messages while it's connecting has been
changed to throw an error instead of queuing up the message and
(possibly) sending it after the connection is established. Code
shouldn't try to send messages without knowing if the connection it's
trying to send them over is active or not.
Ignore stop if instance status is already stopped. Fixes instance status
getting stuck at stopping if Factorio exits during startup due to the
stopped status having already been sent at the time stop is invoked.
Fixes#400
The jsonwebtoken accept strings as input for secrets which is
nonsensical from a cryptographic standpoint as the algorithms all
operate on byte sequences. Worse still, strings are encoded into bytes
using UTF-8, which disallows certain sequences of bytes from appearing
and potentially weakening the cryptography.
For legacy reasons the master secret was encoded into base64 _and passed
as a string to jsonwebtoken_. This further weakened the crypto as the
bytes that can appear in base 64 is only 1/4 of the 256 possible values
for bytes. This could significantly weaken the cryptographic strength
of the tokens.
I have known of this issue for quite some time but has put off actually
fixing it for too long now. Since the master secret is already
documented as being in base 64, decode it as base 64 and pass it as a
byte Buffer to jsonwebtoken. This will ensure every byte value is
possible in the byte sequence passed to the jsonwebtoken crypto.
The impact of this change is unfortunately that all tokens will become
invalid and will have to be reissued.
Add a generate slave token button to the web interface and modify the
generateSlaveToken message and corresponding ctl command to have the
slave id be optional. The random id is the desired behavior when adding
a slave with the installer, as it'll ask for the token for the new slave
and deduce the id from the token.
When factorio starts up with with the require_user_verification setting
turn on it tries to obtain a server padlock from the matchmaking server
and will fail if this does not succeed. Turn off user verification and
public visibility which require user verification both of which are on
by default for the integration tests so that they work without internet.
Prevent potential data loss when starting an autosave by copying it
first. This avoids overwriting a random autosave slot when the server
shuts down after having loaded an autosave.
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 link messages for listing saves and listening for changes to the
list of saves for instances along with a table in the instance view page
showing the save list for the instance and a list-saves command to ctl.
Add options to pass map seed, map exchange string, map gen settings
and/or map settings when creating a save either through the create save
request or the load scenario request.
Provide the control link with the ability to subscribe to updates when
instance status and properties changes. This allows the web interface
to respond in real time to instance starts and stops that are triggered
from somewhere else.
The Node.js specific rules for Eslint were deprecated in favour of the
node plugin for Eslint. Add node plugin for eslint and switch over to
using its rules, fixing any issues detected.
During Travis integration tests a BrokenPipeError is emitted on stderr
after the Factorio server has quit. I have no idea what's going on here
so for now just log it and ignore it.
Fix ServerConnector reaching an invalid state if a continue operation is
performed on an active connection. The continue would cause the
connection established logic to be runned before the connection lost
logic of the pervious connection is perfomed, resulting in a leaked
heartbeat interval and the connection lost logic being performed on the
new connection instead of the old. Prevent this by closing both the new
and the old connection in this case.
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 setting up the tests there were issues with code that didn't
properly clean up after itself and left lingering connections, intervals
or timers that kept the event loop running after the tests where done.
To fix this the --exit flag was passed as a temporary measure but then
subsequently forgotten about. The issues with keeping the event loop
alive have long since been fixed on Linux, but on Windows there was a
problem with the control connector not exiting because the master server
was killed instead of shutten down properly.
With that issue fixed there are no longer any connections or timers
keeping the event loop alive and --exit can thus be removed.
If the connect close method is called while the connection is waiting
for a reconnection attempt then the attempt is cancelled but the close
method then erroneously waited for a close event that would never
happen. Fix by resetting the connector and rasing the close event in
the close method if it's in the waiting for reconnect state.
Raise "resume" instead of "connect" when a connection is re-established
after a connection drop. This prevents logic meant to resynchronize
state after a full reconnection from being invoked whenever the
connection was temporarily dropped.
Implement --add-perms and --remove-perms to add and remove permissions
from the role without having to list up all of the permissions in the
role again.
Rename --permissions to --set-perms to be consistent with the two new
options added.
The automatic creation of a self-signed certificate while nice presents
several problems. To make connections not reject the self-signed
certificate the validation of TLS certificates are wholesale disabled,
decreasing the security even when properly set up and trusted
certificates are used.
To make the created self-signed certificate pass validation it is
necessary for it to list the host names it's valid for and to copy it to
each machine that intends to connect to the server. These two steps
complicate automating the process in a reliable way and will likely lead
to confused users seeking to disable TLS certificate validation as the
easy way out to problems.
For these reasons, remove the automating creation of a broke self-signed
certificate, fix validation of certificates and document how to set up
TLS properly. This makes HTTPS recommended when accessing over the
internet, but still something which must be explicitly configured.
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 command to generate a user token for connecting to the master server
web interface. This servers as an alternative to generating a control
config for use with clusterioctl.
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.
