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.
This was triggered when the initial Introducer connection failed, so the
node read the introducer_cache.yaml from disk. That always returns
unicode strings, and the StorageFarmBroker insisted that it's
server-IDs (aka "key_s") were bytestrings.
The tests were extended to exercise the code that loads from disk and
delivers to the StorageFarmBroker, and more preconditions were put in
place to catch this sort of thing earlier next time.

Updated config docs. Added errors if we're not listening but were told
to enable storage, helper, or if we're the Introducer server.

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.
Historical note: V2 introducers have been around for three years
now (released in 1.10.0), so it's time to drop v1. This branch removes a
lot of fallback code, and tests which exercised it. refs ticket:2784
This patch removes some now-unused code: v1-related support functions on
the client, "stub-client" handlers, and v1-tolerant remote methods on
the server. The unit tests have been cleaned up a bit too, now that
there are fewer cases to exercise.
* use yaml.safe_load and yaml.safe_dump
* configure SafeLoader to return unicode consistently, not str
* log+ignore bad cache, instead of throwing error, since we're already
in the log+ignore chain from connect_failed()
* use a local exception type, instead of one from storage_client.py
* delegate delivery to self._deliver_announcements
Using yaml.safe_dump gives us:
- ann:
my-version: tahoe-lafs/1.11.0.post96.dev0
nickname: node-4
instead of:
- ann:
!!python/unicode 'my-version': !!python/unicode 'tahoe-lafs/1.11.0.post96.dev0'
!!python/unicode 'nickname': !!python/unicode 'node-4'
We want SafeLoader to consistently return unicode instead of sometimes
plain strings (for ASCII-safe values) and sometimes unicode
(for everything else). The data we write into the cache was all unicode
to start with (it came from a JSON parser), so it seems better to get
back unicode too.
* don't remove the cache at connection establishment, we can just wait
for the first announcement to truncate the cache
* save announcements before notifying subscribers, so they can safely
read it right away
* remove unused self._got_announcement_cb
I'm not sure why this ever existed, but it doesn't appear to be used.
(If an introducer called a client's set_encoding_parameters method it would
keep the provided parameters in an instance attribute but would not actually
use them.)
A long time ago, the introducer's status web page would show the
advertised IP addresses for all published services, by parsing their
FURL's connection hints. This hasn't worked since about 12-Aug-2014 when
foolscap-0.6.5 changed the internal format of these hints (the column
has been empty this whole time).
This removes the "Advertised IPs" column from the Service Announcements
table. Instead, the service's full connection hints (not just the IP
address) is displayed in a tooltip/popup on the "Announced" timestamp
column.
The code that pulls these connection hints is now tolerant of all three
foolscap styles:
* foolscap<=0.6.4 : tuples of ("ipv4",host,port)
* 0.6.5 .. 0.8.0 : tuples of ("tcp",host,port)
* foolscap>=0.9.0 : strings

A long time ago, the introducer's status web page would show the
advertised IP addresses for all subscribers, by parsing their
RemoteReference's FURL's connection hints. This hasn't worked since
about 12-Aug-2014 when foolscap-0.6.5 changed the internal format of
these hints.
This removes the feature: we no longer attempt to show advertised IP
addresses of subscribed clients. It also removes the code that looked
inside foolscap internals for this information.
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.
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).
'serverid' is the pubkey (for V2 clients), falling back to the tubid (for V1
clients). This also required cleaning up the way the index is created for the
old V1 introducer.
This significantly cleans up the IntroducerServer web-status renderers.
Instead of poking around in the introducer's internals, now the web-status
renderers get clean AnnouncementDescriptor and SubscriberDescriptor
objects. They are still somewhat foolscap-centric, but will provide a clean
abstraction boundary for future improvements.
The specific #1721 bug was that old (V1) subscribers were handled by
wrapping their RemoteReference in a special WrapV1SubscriberInV2Interface
object, but the web-status display was trying to peek inside the object to
learn what host+port it was associated with, and the wrapper did not proxy
those extra attributes.
A test was added to test_introducer to make sure the introweb page renders
properly and at least contains the nicknames of both the V1 and V2 clients.
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.
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.
