# ZeroTier One Redis Database Schema

## Notes

- : is used as the key namespace separator as per de-facto Redis standard.
- A top-level record may have a :~ child containing a hash. This is the root hash and contains any simple key=value properties of the record.
- Booleans: any value other than "1" or "true" is false.
- Timestamps are in milliseconds since the epoch and are stored as base-10 integers.
- IPv4 addresees: stored in standard dot notation e.g. 1.2.3.4
- IPv6 addresses: :'s are optional and addresses must be stored *without* shortening, e.g. with :0000: instead of ::. It must be possible to strip :'s from the address and get 128 bits of straight hex.
- Hexadecimal: all hex values must be lower case
- 16-digit network IDs and 10-digit addresses are left zero-padded to 16 and 10 digits respectively, as they are everywhere else in the ZT1 universe.

Note: right now KEYS globbing is used in a few places in the code to search for stuff. In the future we'll want to add SET/ZSET index fields for these to optimize, but that won't become an issue until there are at least millions of records. (Millions of users will give us lots of "good problems to have." :)

## Field attribute flags used in this documentation (not in database)

- ! required
- M mutable (user-editable via API)
- R read-only (at least from API/user perspective)
- H hidden (not returned by API queries)

## Base Configuration

### zt1 (value: 1)

If this key is not present with a value of 1, the API server code will auto-init the DB with initial data containing stuff like the Earth network and default users. This is not used by netconf-service.

## Users (ZeroTier Networks only)

This record type is only of interest to ZeroTier Networks itself. It holds user records, billing information, subscriptions, etc. Netconf masters do not use these records so you don't need to worry about this if you are trying to run your own.

### zt1:user:\<auth\>:\<authUserId\>:~

Note: users are referred to elsewhere in the database by their compound key \<auth\>:\<authUserId\> as stored here in the id field.

- !R id :: must be auth:authUserId
- !R auth :: authentication type e.g. 'google' or 'local'
- !R authUserId :: user ID under auth schema, like an e-mail address or a Google profile ID.
- M email :: user's email address
- R confirmed :: is e-mail confirmed?
- R lastLogin :: timestamp of last login
- R creationTime: :: timestamp of account creation
- M displayName :: usually First Last, defaults to e-mail address for 'local' auth and whatever the OpenID API says for third party auth such as Google.
- M defaultCard :: ID of default credit card (actual card objects are stored by Stripe, not in this database)
- M ui :: arbitrary field that can be used by the UI to store stuff
- R stripeCustomerId :: customer ID for Stripe credit card service if the user has cards on file (we don't store cards, we let Stripe do that)

## Networks

Network records are used by the netconf master to issue network configuration information to peers on the ZT1 network itself. Here is where you should look if you want to play with running your own!

### zt1:network:\<nwid\>:~

Each network has a network record indexed by its 64-bit network ID in lower-case hexadecimal.

- !R id :: must be \<nwid\>
- !M name :: network's globally unique short name, which can contain only characters valid in an e-mail address. It's the job of the code that populates this DB to ensure that this is globally unique.
- R owner :: id of user who owns this network (not used by netconf master, only for web UI and web API)
- R billingUser :: user paying for premium subscriptions (also unused by netconf-master)
- R billingUserConfirmed :: if true, billingUser has confirmed and authorized billing
- M desc :: a longer network description
- R infrastructure :: if true, network can't be deleted through API or web UI
- M private :: if true, network requires authentication
- R creationTime :: timestamp of network creation
- M etherTypes :: comma-delimited list of *hexadecimal* integers indicating Ethernet types permitted on network
- M enableBroadcast :: if true, ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff is enabled network-wide
- M v4AssignMode :: 'none' (or null/empty/etc.), 'zt', 'dhcp'
- M v4AssignPool :: network/bits from which to assign IPs
- M v6AssignMode :: 'none' (or null/empty/etc.), 'zt', 'v6native', 'dhcp6'
- M v6AssignPool :: network/bits from which to assign IPs
- M allowPassiveBridging :: if true, allow passive bridging
- M subscriptions :: comma-delimited list of subscriptions for this network
- M ui :: arbitrary field that can be used by the UI to store stuff

### zt1:network:\<nwid\>:member:\<address\>:~

For private networks, each member of the network must have a record that indicates whether it is allowed to communicate. The address is the 10-digit lower-case hexadecimal ZeroTier address.

The netconf-master will automatically add any peer that even attempts to request a netconf / certificate. These are added with authorized set to false. The hideInSlushpile field is used in the UI to allow network admins to hide unknown/bogus join attempts that they don't want to keep seeing.

- !R id :: must be \<address\>
- !R nwid :: must be \<nwid\>
- M authorized :: true if node is authorized and will be issued valid certificates and network configurations
- M activeBridge :: true if node is an active bridge
- M name :: name of system
- M notes :: annotation field
- R authorizedBy :: user ID of user who authorized membership
- R authorizedAt :: timestamp of authorization
- R identity :: string-serialized full public node identity as last seen by netconf-master
- R firstSeen :: timestamp node first tried to authorize to this net
- R lastSeen :: timestamp node last tried to authorize to this net
- R lastAt :: real network address from which node was last seen
- R clientVersion :: software version last seen by netconf-master
- R clientOs :: operating system last seen by netconf-master
- R ipAssignments :: comma-delimited list of IP address assignments (see below)
- M ui :: string-serialized JSON blob for use by the user interface, ignored by netconf-master

The name, notes, authorizedBy, and authorizedAt fields are only for use by the administration UI. The netconf-master does not care about this. The identity, firstSeen, lastSeen, lastAt, version, and os fields are populated by netconf-master.

The ipAssignments field is re-generated whenever the zt1:network:\<nwid\>:ipAssignments hash is modified for this member. Both the API code and the netconf-master code must keep this in sync. This field is read-only for API users; the ipAssignments part of the API must be used to modify member IP address assignments.

### zt1:network:\<nwid\>:ipAssignments

This is a hash mapping IP/netmask bits fields to 10-digit ZeroTier addresses of network members. IPv4 fields contain dots, e.g. "10.2.3.4/24" or "29.1.1.1/7". IPv6 fields contain colons. Note that IPv6 IP abbreviations must *not* be used; use \:0000\: instead of \:\: for zero parts of addresses. This is to simplify parser code and canonicalize for rapid search. All hex digits must be lower-case.

This is only used if the network's IPv4 and/or IPv6 auto-assign mode is 'zt' for ZeroTier assignment. The netconf-master will auto-populate by choosing unused IPs, and it can be edited via the API as well.
