This shows current-connection info, and provides per-hint status details in a
tooltip.
The "Connection" section no longer shows seconds-since-loss when the server
was not connected (previously it showed seconds-since-connect when connected,
and flipped to seconds-since-loss when disconnected). We already have the
"Last RX" column, which is arguably more meaningful (and I can't think of a
good case when these would differ), so we don't really need
seconds-since-loss, and the new ConnectionStatus doesn't track it anyways.
So now the "Connection" timestamp for non-connected servers is just
"N/A" (both the main text and the tooltip). The "Introducers" section was
changed the same way.
This moves the per-server connection timestamp out of the nickname/serverid
box and over into the Connection box. It also right-floats all timestamps,
regardless of which box they're in, which makes them share the box with
connection_status more politely.
Internally, this adds code to create ConnectionStatus objects when necessary.
Previously, "tahoe create-node" without an --introducer= argument would
result in the literal string "None" being written into tahoe.cfg:
[client]
introducer.furl = None
We were using config.get("introducer",""), but that didn't suffice because
the key was actually present: it just had a value of None, which then got
stringified into "None" when writing out tahoe.cfg.
This briefly caused test/cli/test_create to fail, as the startup code tried
to parse "None" as a FURL. This only happened against a development version
of Foolscap which accidentally became sensitive to unparseable FURLs in
started Reconnectors. I fixed that in the final foolscap-0.12.5 release, so
we shouldn't hit this bug, but I wanted to fix it properly in the tahoe-side
source.
Updated config docs. Added errors if we're not listening but were told
to enable storage, helper, or if we're the Introducer server.
closes ticket:2816
This adds Node._create_tub(), which knows how to make a Tub with all the
right options and connection handlers that were specified in
tahoe.cfg (the connection handlers are disabled for now, but they'll get
implemented soon).
The new Node.create_main_tub() calls it. This main Tub is used:
* to connect to the Introducer
* to host the Helper (if enabled)
* to host the Storage Server (if enabled)
Node._create_tub() is also passed into the StorageFarmBroker, which
passes it into each NativeStorageServer, to create the (separate) Tub
for each server connection. _create_tub knows about the options, and
NativeStorageServer can override the connection handlers. This way we
don't need to pass tub options or default handlers into Client,
StorageFarmBroker, or NativeStorageServer.
A number of tests create NativeStorageServer objects: these were updated
to match the new arguments. test_storage_client was simplified because
we no longer need to mock out the Tub() constructor.
This follows the latest comments in ticket:2788, moving the static
server definitions from "connections.yaml" to "servers.yaml". It removes
the "connections" and "introducers" blocks from that file, leaving it
responsible for just static servers (I think connections and introducers
can be configured from tahoe.cfg).
This feeds all the static server specs to the StorageFarmBroker in a
single call, rather than delivering them as simulated introducer
announcements. It cleans up the way handlers are specified too (the
handler dictionary is ignored, but that will change soon).
This doesn't reveal very much information, but does tell
you if magic-folder is currently working and if not it will
indicate when the last attempt to do a remote scan was.
Adds:
- a JSON endpoint
- CLI to display information
- QueuedItem + IQueuedItem for uploader/downloader
- IProgress interface + PercentProgress implementation
- progress= args to many upload/download APIs
The yaml.SafeLoader.add_constructor() should probably only be done once,
and moving this all into a module gives us an opportunity to test it
directly.
Without these, clients with a non-empty connections.yaml would crash as
they start up. It's safe to say we need some tests for this :-).
pyflakes catches all of these, but it got accidentally disabled
recently, so travis wasn't running it. I'll fix that in the next commit.
This has worked so far because everything waited for the Tub to be
ready. We'll soon be making Tub setup synchronous, so we won't have to
wait anymore, so the order will matter.
this includes a squash merge of dca1de6856 which
was previously seen in pull request #128, as well as daira's suggested changes
from pull request #204.
This tests ftpd, but not sftpd. Doing this sort of test on sftpd
requires the creation of a valid pubkey/privkey file pair, which is more
work than I want to do right now.
init_ftp/init_sftp were changed to interpret the configured
accounts.file as relative to the node's basedir, with
abspath_expanduser_unicode(accountfile, base=self.basedir).
This would happen naturally in a real node, since it os.chdir()s
to the basedir before doing anything. But tests don't do that.

For a brief while (in between releases 1.9 and 1.10, specifically from
revision bc21726 on 12-Mar-2012, until bf416af on 10-Jun-2012), the new
introducer code stored its node key in NODEDIR/private/server.privkey .
After that point, it was updated to store this key in
NODEDIR/private/node.privkey instead. Fallback code was added to read
from the old location if present (so that folks using development
versions could keep their node keys after the bf416af change).
This patch removes the fallback code. If you have a node which was run
under a version of Tahoe within this range, you need to manually update
your node by running:
mv NODEDIR/private/server.privkey NODEDIR/private/node.privkey
and then restart the node. If you accidentally start an older node with
code after this patch, it will create a new key (and other peers will
think a new server has appeared). You can either stick with the new key,
or use the command above to switch back to the old key.
See docs/nodekeys.rst (not yet written) for details about the node key
and how it is used.
This should now fail quickly (during "tahoe start"). Previously this
would silently treat an unparseable size as "0", and the only way to
discover that it had had a problem would be to look at the foolscap log,
or examine the storage-service web page for the unexpected "Reserved
Size" number.
This stores the sequence number in BASEDIR/announcement-seqnum, and
increments it each time any service is published (every service
announcement is regenerated with the new sequence number). As everyone
knows, time is an illusion, and occasionally goes backwards, so a
counter is generally safer (and reveals less information about the
node).
Later, we'll improve the introducer client to tolerate rollbacks (where,
perhaps due to a VM being restarted from an earlier checkpoint, the
stored sequence number reverts to an earlier version).
This prepares for invitation-based reciprocal-permission Accounting. In
the scheme I'm developing, nodes publish "I accept shares from Y"
messages, which are assembled into a graph, and server will accept
shares from any client node reachable in this graph. For this to work,
the serverX->clientY edge must be connectable to the serverY->clientZ
edge, which means "clientY" and "serverY" must be connected. If clientY
and serverY are two distinct keys, they must be cross-signed. Life is
easier if there's just one key "Y", rather than distinct client- and
server- keys. Calling this one key "server.privkey" would be confusing.
"node.privkey" and "node.pubkey" makes more sense.
One-server-per-node is a pretty easy restriction. Originally I was
thinking that the client.key should be provided in each webapi call,
just like a filecap is, making a single node useable by multiple users
(Accounting principals), and not providing any ambient storage
authority. But I've been unable to think of a comfortable WUI for
that (at least without requiring javascript), nor a friendly way to
transfer account authority (e.g. writecaps that include storage
authority). So I'm more willing to have one-client-per-node these days.
(and note that this rename doesn't seriously preclude
many-clients-per-node or zero-clients-per-node anyways, it just makes
one-client-per-node less awkward)
This introduces new client and server halves to the Introducer (renaming the
old one with a _V1 suffix). Both have fallbacks to accomodate talking to a
different version: the publishing client switches on whether the server's
.get_version() advertises V2 support, the server switches on which
subscription method was invoked by the subscribing client.
The V2 protocol sends a three-tuple of (serialized announcement dictionary,
signature, pubkey) for each announcement. The V2 server dispatches messages
to subscribers according to the service-name, and throws errors for invalid
signatures, but does not otherwise examine the messages. The V2 receiver's
subscription callback will receive a (serverid, ann_dict) pair. The
'serverid' will be equal to the pubkey if all of the following are true:
the originating client is V2, and was told a privkey to use
the announcement went through a V2 server
the signature is valid
If not, 'serverid' will be equal to the tubid portion of the announced FURL,
as was the case for V1 receivers.
Servers will create a keypair if one does not exist yet, stored in
private/server.privkey .
The signed announcement dictionary puts the server FURL in a key named
"anonymous-storage-FURL", which anticipates upcoming Accounting-related
changes in the server advertisements. It also provides a key named
"permutation-seed-base32" to tell clients what permutation seed to use. This
is computed at startup, using tubid if there are existing shares, otherwise
the pubkey, to retain share-order compatibility for existing servers.

This consistently records all immutable uploads in the Recent Uploads And
Downloads page, regardless of code path. Previously, certain webapi upload
operations (like PUT /uri/$DIRCAP/newchildname) failed to pass the History
object and were left out.
I rerecorded this patch, originally by David-Sarah, to use "darcs replace" instead of editing to do the renames. This uncovered one missed rename in Client.init_drop_uploader. (Which also means that code isn't exercised by the current unit tests.)
refs #1429
Pass around IServer instance instead of (peerid, rref) tuple. Replace
"descriptor" with "server". Other replacements:
get_all_servers -> get_connected_servers/get_known_servers
get_servers_for_index -> get_servers_for_psi (now returns IServers)
This change still needs to be pushed further down: lots of code is now
getting the IServer and then distributing (peerid, rref) internally.
Instead, it ought to distribute the IServer internally and delay
extracting a serverid or rref until the last moment.
no_network.py was updated to retain parallelism.

create_mutable_file() still accepts a bytestring too, or None for an empty
file.
This makes it more obvious that the Helper currently generates leases with
the Helper's own secrets, rather than getting values from the client, which
is arguably a bug that will likely be resolved with the Accounting project.

we actually exercise during tests) into more specific exceptions, so they
don't get optimized away. The best rule to follow is probably this: if an
exception is worth testing, then it's part of the API, and AssertionError
should never be part of the API. Closes#749.
If you open up a directory containing thousands of files, it currently computes the cache filename and checks for the cache file on disk immediately for each immutble file in that directory. With this patch, it delays those steps until you try to do something with an immutable file that could use the cache.
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).
This reduces the total test time on my laptop from 400s to 283s.

It is currently hardcoded in setup.py to be 'allmydata-tahoe'. Ticket #556 is to make it configurable by a runtime command-line argument to setup.py: "--appname=foo", but I suddenly wondered if we really wanted that and at the same time realized that we don't need that for tahoe-1.3.0 release, so this patch just hardcodes it in setup.py.
setup.py inspects a file named 'src/allmydata/_appname.py' and assert that it contains the string "__appname__ = 'allmydata-tahoe'", and creates it if it isn't already present. src/allmydata/__init__.py import _appname and reads __appname__ from it. The rest of the Python code imports allmydata and inspects "allmydata.__appname__", although actually every use it uses "allmydata.__full_version__" instead, where "allmydata.__full_version__" is created in src/allmydata/__init__.py to be:
__full_version__ = __appname + '-' + str(__version__).
All the code that emits an "application version string" when describing what version of a protocol it supports (introducer server, storage server, upload helper), or when describing itself in general (introducer client), usese allmydata.__full_version__.
This fixes ticket #556 at least well enough for tahoe-1.3.0 release.
This reverses some, but not all, of the changes that were committed in the following set of patches.

FileDownloader takes a verify cap and produces ciphertext, instead of taking a read cap and producing plaintext.
FileDownloader does all integrity checking including the mandatory ciphertext hash tree and the optional ciphertext flat hash, rather than expecting its target to do some of that checking.
Rename immutable.download.Output to immutable.download.DecryptingOutput. An instance of DecryptingOutput can be passed to FileDownloader to use as the latter's target. Text pushed to the DecryptingOutput is decrypted and then pushed to *its* target.
DecryptingOutput satisfies the IConsumer interface, and if its target also satisfies IConsumer, then it forwards and pause/unpause signals to its producer (which is the FileDownloader).
This patch also changes some logging code to use the new logging mixin class.
Check integrity of a segment and decrypt the segment one block-sized buffer at a time instead of copying the buffers together into one segment-sized buffer (reduces peak memory usage, I think, and is probably a tad faster/less CPU, depending on your encoding parameters).
Refactor FileDownloader so that processing of segments and of tail-segment share as much code is possible.
FileDownloader and FileNode take caps as instances of URI (Python objects), not as strings.
This makes Uploader take an EncryptedUploadable object instead of an Uploadable object. I also changed it to return a verify cap instead of a tuple of the bits of data that one finds in a verify cap.
This will facilitate hooking together an Uploader and a Downloader to make a Repairer.
Also move offloaded.py into src/allmydata/immutable/.
Removed the Checker service, removed checker results storage (both in-memory
and the tiny stub of sqlite-based storage). Added ICheckable, all
check/verify is now done by calling the check() method on filenodes and
dirnodes (immutable files, literal files, mutable files, and directory
instances).
Checker results are returned in a Results instance, with an html() method for
display. Checker results have been temporarily removed from the wui directory
listing until we make some other fixes.
Also fixed client.create_node_from_uri() to create LiteralFileNodes properly,
since they have different checking behavior. Previously we were creating full
FileNodes with LIT uris inside, which were downloadable but not checkable.
adds a stats_producer for the upload helper, which provides a series of counters
to the stats gatherer, under the name 'chk_upload_helper'.
it examines both the 'incoming' directory, and the 'encoding' dir, providing
inc_count inc_size inc_size_old enc_count enc_size enc_size_old, respectively
the number of files in each dir, the total size thereof, and the aggregate
size of all files older than 48hrs
this adds a new service to pre-generate RSA key pairs. This allows
the expensive (i.e. slow) key generation to be placed into a process
outside the node, so that the node's reactor will not block when it
needs a key pair, but instead can retrieve them from a pool of already
generated key pairs in the key-generator service.
it adds a tahoe create-key-generator command which initialises an
empty dir with a tahoe-key-generator.tac file which can then be run
via twistd. it stashes its .pem and portnum for furl stability and
writes the furl of the key gen service to key_generator.furl, also
printing it to stdout.
by placing a key_generator.furl file into the nodes config directory
(e.g. ~/.tahoe) a node will attempt to connect to such a service, and
will use that when creating mutable files (i.e. directories) whenever
possible. if the keygen service is unavailable, it will perform the
key generation locally instead, as before.
Now upload or encode methods take a required argument named "convergence" which can be either None, indicating no convergent encryption at all, or a string, which is the "added secret" to be mixed in to the content hash key. If you want traditional convergent encryption behavior, set the added secret to be the empty string.
This patch also renames "content hash key" to "convergent encryption" in a argument names and variable names. (A different and larger renaming is needed in order to clarify that Tahoe supports immutable files which are not encrypted content-hash-key a.k.a. convergent encryption.)
This patch also changes a few unit tests to use non-convergent encryption, because it doesn't matter for what they are testing and non-convergent encryption is slightly faster.
this adds an interface, IStatsProducer, defining the get_stats() method
which the stats provider calls upon and registered producer, and made the
register_producer() method check that interface is implemented.
also refine the startup logic, so that the stats provider doesn't try and
connect out to the stats gatherer until after the node declares the tub
'ready'. this is to address an issue whereby providers would attach to
the gatherer without providing a valid furl, and hence the gatherer would
be unable to determine the tubid of the connected client, leading to lost
samples.
We have a desire to collect runtime statistics from multiple nodes primarily
for server monitoring purposes. This implements a simple implementation of
such a system, as a skeleton to build more sophistication upon.
Each client now looks for a 'stats_gatherer.furl' config file. If it has
been configured to use a stats gatherer, then it instantiates internally
a StatsProvider. This is a central place for code which wishes to offer
stats up for monitoring to report them to, either by calling
stats_provider.count('stat.name', value) to increment a counter, or by
registering a class as a stats producer with sp.register_producer(obj).
The StatsProvider connects to the StatsGatherer server and provides its
provider upon startup. The StatsGatherer is then responsible for polling
the attached providers periodically to retrieve the data provided.
The provider queries each registered producer when the gatherer queries
the provider. Both the internal 'counters' and the queried 'stats' are
then reported to the gatherer.
This provides a simple gatherer app, (c.f. make stats-gatherer-run)
which prints its furl and listens for incoming connections. Once a
minute, the gatherer polls all connected providers, and writes the
retrieved data into a pickle file.
Also included is a munin plugin which knows how to read the gatherer's
stats.pickle and output data munin can interpret. this plugin,
tahoe-stats.py can be symlinked as multiple different names within
munin's 'plugins' directory, and inspects argv to determine which
data to display, doing a lookup in a table within that file.
It looks in the environment for 'statsfile' to determine the path to
the gatherer's stats.pickle. An example plugins-conf.d file is
provided.
a recent purge of the start.html code also took away the logic that wrote
'node.url' into the node root. this is required for the tahoe cli tool to
find the node. this puts back a limited fraction of that code, so that the
node writes out a node.url file upon startup.
* rename my_private_dir.cap to root_dir.cap
* move it into the private subdir

* use new decentralized directories everywhere instead of old centralized directories
* provide UI to them through the web server
* provide UI to them through the CLI
* update unit tests to simulate decentralized mutable directories in order to test other components that rely on them
* remove the notion of a "vdrive server" and a client thereof
* remove the notion of a "public vdrive", which was a directory that was centrally published/subscribed automatically by the tahoe node (you can accomplish this manually by making a directory and posting the URL to it on your web site, for example)
* add a notion of "wait_for_numpeers" when you need to publish data to peers, which is how many peers should be attached before you start. The default is 1.
* add __repr__ for filesystem nodes (note: these reprs contain a few bits of the secret key!)
* fix a few bugs where we used to equate "mutable" with "not read-only". Nowadays all directories are mutable, but some might be read-only (to you).
* fix a few bugs where code wasn't aware of the new general-purpose metadata dict the comes with each filesystem edge
* sundry fixes to unit tests to adjust to the new directories, e.g. don't assume that every share on disk belongs to a chk file.
The URI typenames need revision, and only a few dirnode methods are
implemented. Filenodes are non-functional, but URI/key-management is in
place. There are a lot of classes with names like "NewDirectoryNode" that
will need to be rename once we decide what (if any) backwards compatibility
want to retain.
This makes it so that an optional file which is unreadable or is rm'ed
at the wrong moment will be ignored instead of raising an exception.
It also bums out a couple of unnecessary lines of code (the explicit
".close()" call).
By writing something like "25 75 100" into a file named 'encoding_parameters'
in the central Introducer's base directory, all clients which use that
introducer will be advised to use 25-out-of-100 encoding for files (i.e.
100 shares will be produced, 25 are required to reconstruct, and the upload
process will be happy if it can find homes for at least 75 shares). The
default values are "3 7 10". For small meshes, the defaults are probably
good, but for larger ones it may be appropriate to increase the number of
shares.
To use this, write a number like 10MB or 5Gb or 5000000000 to a file
named 'sizelimit' in the client's base directory. The node will not grant
leases for shares that would take it much beyond this many bytes of
storage. Note that metadata is not included in the allocation count until
a restart, so the actual space consumed may grow beyond the limit if
the node is not restarted very frequently and the amount of metadata is
significant.
These allow client-side code to conveniently retrieve the IDirectoryNode
instances for both the global shared public root directory, and the per-user
private root directory.
Rather than use separate client.pem and introducer.pem files, use 'node.pem'
for all nodes regardless of what type it is. This is slightly cleaner, but
introduces a compatibility. Users who upgrade to this change should do
'mv client.pem node.pem' to avoid generating a new certificate and thus
changing their TubID.
Added metadata to the bucket store, which is used to hold the share number
(but the bucket doesn't know that, it just gets a string).
Modified the codec interfaces a bit.
Try to pass around URIs to/from download/upload instead of verifierids.
URI format is still in flux.
Change the current (primitive) file encoder to use a ReplicatingEncoder
because it provides ICodecEncoder. We will be moving to the (less primitive)
file encoder (currently in allmydata.encode_new) eventually, but for now
this change lets us test out PyRS or zooko's upcoming C-based RS codec in
something larger than a single unit test. This primitive file encoder only
uses a single segment, and has no merkle trees.
Also added allmydata.util.deferredutil for a DeferredList wrapper that
errbacks (but only when all component Deferreds have fired) if there were
any errors, which unfortunately is not a behavior available from the standard
DeferredList.
