Add a per field access parameter to the config class which specifies
which of master, slave and control can access the given field. A
location is added to the config class to specify which party owns it and
fields which do not have an access parameter are not present in the
config and will throw if attempted to be read from or writen to.
The serialize, load, update, get, set and setProp are ammended with a
location parameter which specifiy where the data is from or destined to
and the access checks are performed to ensure remote access to the
config is still limited by the access parameter of field.
With this system in place the master config can be shared with control
and slave connections without compromising secrets that should stay
private. This is primarily the master authentication secret, but other
plugins may define secrets it does not want to have shared with slave
and/or control connections.
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.
Remove the pluginInfo parameter from lib/plugin attachPluginMessages as
the plugin info object is available in the `.info` property of the
plugin. While a plugin instance doesn't exist for the slave side and
was the reason for these to be separate arguments, I expect slave
plugins to be implemented eventually.
Add optional arguments to Request and Event to control which properties
are required to be present in the payload. This allows gracefully
extending the protocol, reducing overhead for optional data, and leaving
properties out for additional behaviour.
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.
If the server decides to exit on its own during the stop operation to
the FactorioServer class after the operation has started but before the
signal is sent to the process then the exit handler will have wiped the
server child process and cause the kill call to fail. This in turn
would let the hang timer running which would bring down the Node.js
process due to an unhandled error for the same reason.
Fix by making sure the stop operation watches for the server exiting and
returning early if the server already quit before getting to the send
stop signal part.
When closing down the HTTP and HTTPS servers existing connections are
not closed by Node.js, and may live on forever if they are actively in
use. A common case where this happens is if Prometheus is set up with a
short interval for collections.
To close down the active connections they need to be tracked and closed
when the server is closed, add the HttpCloser class which encapsulates
the tracking and closure process behind a simple interface and use this
to close down the HTTP and HTTPS server on the master.
Fix the validation loging for sending responses to requests not
functioning due to the message data property being passed incorrectly to
the validator.
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.
Fix the logic for determining which entries in the banlist changed being
incorrect and causing the banlist sync to be broken. Add unit tests for
the syncUserListsEventHandler to ensure it functions as exxpected.
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.
Move common functionality between labeled collectors out of
ValueCollector and into a new LabeledCollector class, and use this as
the basis for implementing a Histogram collector.
Under the current system there's no distinction made on the slave side
between instance config files that are present in the filesystem and
instances actually assigned to the slave. Which could lead to problems
with determing if an instance is actually assigned to the slave.
Resolve this issue by separating discovered instances with assigned
instances. Upon startup discovered instances are put into the
discoveredInstanceInfos mapping on the Slave object and all of these are
sent to the master server. The master server in turn sends assignment
requests for all the instances which are assigned to the slave. These
are put into the instanceInfos mapping of the Slave object which can
then be relied up to include only assigned instances.
When the slave metrics request takes more than 10 seconds the response
to the /metrics endpoint ends up being discarded by Prometheus which
defaults to a timeout of 10 seconds. Fix by ignoring slaves that take
longer than 8 seconds to respond to the metrics request.
Amend the error message shown when a message handler is missing from a
plugin with the expected name of the handler and the name of the plugin
it's missing from.
Detect and colour the Script and Verbose levels. The format of the
source file for the Script level is slightly different and needs an
update to the output parsing.
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.
Move the code for loading plugins infos from Node.js packages into a
separate module in order to break it out from lib/plugin.js which is
also used on the web interface side. This resolves a warning of using
an expression with require on the webpack build.
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.
Move the export and clusterio mod code to the slave package and fix the
path used for them. Refactor tests to use temp/tests/ as the cwd when
running integration tests in order to ensure paths to lua code are
correctly handled.
Add a separate plugin-list.json file for storing which plugins are
available and the path to pass to require in order to load it. This
allows plugins to be published and installed as npm packages. And also
replaces the old method of installing plugins by putting them in the
plugins folder.
Send the status of the instance in the repsonse to the listInstances
request and use this status in the integration tests to check if the
instance was started/stopped.
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.
