Brian Warner	91047bf828	docs: clean up .rst and references ... This uses Read-The-Docs (sphinx/docutils) references exclusively, but adds a README.md for GitHub viewers to remind them that the links there won't work (closes ticket:2835). It also fixes all the dangling references and other Sphinx warnings. The "Preparation" section of docs/magic-folder-howto.rst was removed, since this feature has since been merged to trunk.	2016-12-12 13:57:28 -08:00
Brian Warner	9cea1d7a46	docs: fix svg encoding diagrams ... We said "share N" in some places that ought to say "block N", and we no longer use "peer" to describe where we're pushing a share to (now we say "server"). Thanks to CcxWrk for the catch.	2016-11-13 14:12:51 -08:00

Brian Warner	b00c2d21b7	test tub.port with multiple endpoints, add docs ... I think the preferred way to listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 will be to use "--port=tcp:PORT,tcp6:PORT". This is now reflected in the docs. refs ticket:867	2016-09-20 13:04:06 -07:00

Brian Warner	a638a97806	implement connections:tcp=disabled ... This enables an I2P-only node, which disables TCP entirely (instead of mapping TCP to Tor, which was the only other option that reveal-IP-address=False would allow). closes ticket:2824	2016-09-14 16:27:12 -07:00

Brian Warner	d69757e069	docs: more server/introducer setup text ... running.rst: split out the server/introducer text, so someone who only care about running a client doesn't need to read about hostnames or --port/--location. servers.rst: more background text on ports and locations, make section names less storage-centric	2016-09-14 13:10:29 -07:00
Brian Warner	460cc826fd	update docs ... * replace sample IPv4/IPv6 addresses with reserved ones from RFC-6890 * remove initial blank line: prevents github from rendering the .rst * emphasize --hostname, then have --port/--location as a special-case * list --port first (describe it "from the inside out"), then --location * explain difference between --port and --location * in endpoint strings, put interface= at end, to emphasize port * add servers.rst to index.rst so it'll show up on readthedocs * don't mention "partial-cone NAT": that's only relevant if/when we get real ICE-style NAT-hole-punching	2016-09-14 12:45:53 -07:00

Brian Warner	d0da17adeb	create-node: add --hide-ip, update docs ... So "tahoe create-node --hide-ip" causes "reveal-IP-address = false" to get written into tahoe.cfg . This also changes the default tahoe.cfg to include "reveal-IP-address = true", for clarity. refs ticket:1010	2016-09-01 23:24:38 -07:00
Brian Warner	076b3895dc	config: change syntax of no-listen mode ... We now use:: tub.port = disabled tub.location = disabled instead of using an empty value (but the key still being present, since if the key is missing entirely, that means "be automatic"). closes ticket:2816	2016-09-01 21:26:48 -07:00
Brian Warner	a03f68b787	tahoe.cfg: fix spelling of 'enabled' for tor/i2p ... We should use "enabled = true", instead of "enable = true", since the rest of tahoe.cfg uses "enabled". refs ticket:2788	2016-08-31 15:23:47 -07:00
Brian Warner	d47fc0fd27	config: add reveal-IP-address=False ... This adds a safety flag named `[node] reveal-IP-address`, for which the default value is True. When this is set to False, any configuration that might reveal the node's IP address (to servers, or the external network) will cause a PrivacyError to be raised at startup, terminating the node before it gets a chance to betray the user's privacy. It also adds docs and tests. refs ticket:1010	2016-08-31 02:44:27 -07:00

Brian Warner	f54d2a81a8	fix TOC, remove empty "Legacy I2P" section	2016-08-30 08:55:09 -07:00
Brian Warner	327bef3383	update tor/i2p docs to match current config syntax ... This removes the section that describes automatic configuration using transport-agnostic endpoint-centric tub.port strings. That was the approach where tub.port used "onion:80:hiddenServiceDir=PATH", and Foolscap was able to query the generated Listener to find out what address it was supposed to advertise. We considered this for a long time, but in the end decided to use a more static approach, where foolscap/tahoe never try to guess it's location: Tahoe always requires tub.location= to be set. When we get automatic configuration implemented, it'll be a simple CLI argument, something like "tahoe create-server --listen=tor". Instead, this document now explains how to configure Tor to create the hidden service, then how to copy the generated .onion address into the tahoe config. This also removes a lot of other text that seems irrelevant now, and refers the user to the tahoe.cfg docs (configuration.rst) instead of including all the `[tor]`/`[i2p]` docs inline.

Brian Warner	a099b9237d	tor: socks.port is now a (restricted) endpoint string ... Foolscap has limitations that prevent us from accepting anything but a TCP endpoint, but that will change in the future, so make the tahoe.cfg syntax accept an endpoint, but then reject non-TCP ones. See the ticket for details: refs ticket:2813. This depends upon the new `foolscap.connections.tor.socks_port(host, port)` API in foolscap-0.12.2, so it bumps the dependency to that (the previous commit depended upon 0.12.1, but I hadn't gotten around to updating the dep before now).	2016-08-28 16:30:31 -07:00

This little-used debugging feature allowed you to SSH or Telnet "into" a Tahoe node, and get an interactive Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) that executed inside the context of the running process. The SSH authentication code used a deprecated feature of Twisted, this code had no unit-test coverage, and I haven't personally used it in at least 6 years (despite writing it in the first place). Time to go. Also experiment with a Twisted-style "topfiles/" directory of NEWS fragments. The idea is that we require all user-visible changes to include a file or two (named as $TICKETNUM.$TYPE), and then run a script to generate NEWS during the release process, instead of having a human scan the commit logs and summarize the changes long after they landed.

Brian Warner	0a89b738bc	Make introducer.furl unguessable. Closes #1802. ... Previously, Introducers always used a swissnum of "introducer", so anyone who could learn the (public) tubid of the introducer would be able to connect to and use it. This changes new Introducers to use the same randomly-generated swissnum as clients and storage servers do, so that you absolutely must learn the introducer.furl from someone who knows it already before you can connect. This change also moves the location of the file that stores introducer.furl from BASEDIR/introducer.furl to BASEDIR/private/introducer.furl, since that's where we keep the private things. The first time an introducer is started with the new code, it will move any existing BASEDIR/introducer.furl into the new place. Note that this will not change the FURL of existing introducers: it will only affect newly created ones. When you change an introducer's FURL, you must also update all of the nodes (clients and storage servers) which connect to it, so upgrading it to an unguessable one isn't something we should do automatically.	2013-03-20 22:40:33 +00:00

Francois Deppierraz	496802420e	Fix handling of correctly encoded unicode filenames (#534) ... Tahoe CLI commands working on local files, for instance 'tahoe cp' or 'tahoe backup', have been improved to correctly handle filenames containing non-ASCII characters. In the case where Tahoe encounters a filename which cannot be decoded using the system encoding, an error will be returned and the operation will fail. Under Linux, this typically happens when the filesystem contains filenames encoded with another encoding, for instance latin1, than the system locale, for instance UTF-8. In such case, you'll need to fix your system with tools such as 'convmv' before using Tahoe CLI. All CLI commands have been improved to support non-ASCII parameters such as filenames and aliases on all supported Operating Systems except Windows as of now.	2010-05-19 17:43:56 -07:00

Brian Warner	ef1b6ae8e3	Tolerate unknown URI types in directory structures. Part of #683. ... The idea is that future versions of Tahoe will add new URI types that this version won't recognize, but might store them in directories that we *can* read. We should handle these "objects from the future" as best we can. Previous releases of Tahoe would just explode. With this change, we'll continue to be able to work with everything else in the directory. The code change is to wrap anything we don't recognize as an UnknownNode instance (as opposed to a FileNode or DirectoryNode). Then webapi knows how to render these (mostly by leaving fields blank), deep-check knows to skip over them, deep-stats counts them in "count-unknown". You can rename and delete these things, but you can't add new ones (because we wouldn't know how to generate a readcap to put into the dirnode's rocap slot, and because this lets us catch typos better).	2009-07-02 18:07:49 -07:00
