This migrates the device-sessions from Redis into PostgreSQL. This fixes
a performance issue in case the same DevAddr is reused many times
(e.g. devices rejoining very often or a NetID with small DevAddr space).
There were two issues:
The Redis key containing the DevAddr -> DevEUIs mapping could contain
DevEUIs that no longer used the DevAddr. This mapping would only expire
from the Redis database after none of the devices would use the DevAddr
for more than the configured device_session_ttl.
The other issue with the previous approach was that on for example a
Type 7 NetID, a single DevAddr could be re-used multiple times. As each
device-session could be stored on a different Redis Cluster instance,
there was no option to retrieve all device-sessions at once. Thus a high
re-usage of a single DevAddr would cause an increase in Redis queries.
Both issues are solved by moving the device-session into PostgreSQL
as the DevAddr is a column of the device record and thus filtering on
this DevAddr would always result in the devices using that DevAddr, as
well all device-sessions for a DevAddr can be retrieved by a single
query.
Note that to migrate the device-sessions, you must run:
chirpstack -c path/to/config migrate-device-sessions-to-postgres
A nice side-effect is that a PostgreSQL backup / restore will also
restore the device connectivity.
Closes#362 and #74.
This implements end-to-end encryption between the end-device and
end-application. The encrypted AppSKey or SessionKeyID is forwarded to
the end-application which should be able to decrypt or request the
AppSKey to decrypt the uplink payload. As well the end-application will
be able to enqueue encrypted application payloads.
Using this mechanism, ChirpStack will never have access to the uplink
and downlink application-payloads.
By selecting a region configuration, devices using the device-profile
will only stick to the selected region configuration, rather than the
configurations provided by the selected region common-name.
This change also renames the region 'name' option to 'id' in the region
configuration, as well it adds a 'description' to provide a human
readable description, which is used in the drop-down in the UI.
This also fixes the JS API generation. In a previous commit the the
protobuf package was updated, but the latest protobuf compiler no longer
supports generating JS code (this now requires an external plugin). This
has been fixed.
Please note that if you have implemented custom ADR algorithms that are
referring to the 'regionName' key, that you must change this to
'regionConfigId' (see the ADR code example).
This includes:
* Changing the modulation parameters to its own type.
* Changing the timing parameters to its own type.
* Change the gateway_id to string. As the json encoding for bytes fields
is base64, this was confusing some users.
* Change the uplink / downlink id to uint32 from uuid. A string
representation of the UUID field (for the same reason as the gateway
id) would consome quite some additional bytes. An uint32 provides
sufficient uniqueness for the purpose of uplink / downlink.
