feat!: remove rathole package - superseded by netbird [#650]
Founder ruling: "we will use netbird for all enterprise network
access." Package dir deleted (11th package, f918a90, is hereby
retired); GitUrlList 41->40; counts 19->18; completed tables
renumbered; JOURNAL section retained as history with a superseding
addendum. Standing policy recorded: netbird for network access.

# Changelog — Rathole Cloudron Package
|
||||
|
||||
## 1.0.0 (2026-09-01)
|
||||
|
||||
Initial Cloudron package for Rathole 0.5.0 (server mode).
|
||||
|
||||
- Pre-compiled-binaries pattern: upstream `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
|
||||
release zip downloaded at build time behind a sha256 pin (musl release
|
||||
builds were dropped upstream in v0.5.0).
|
||||
- Runtime `cloudron/base:4.0.0` (Ubuntu 22.04): the gnu binary requires
|
||||
glibc >= 2.35, too new for the 3.x (20.04) base used by earlier
|
||||
packages.
|
||||
- `start.sh` seeds `/app/data/server.toml` on first run with a random
|
||||
`default_token` (openssl) and a placeholder `[server.services.example]`
|
||||
binding :5200 — upstream rejects a server config with zero services —
|
||||
then execs `rathole --server`; the config hot-reloads on save.
|
||||
- Verified end-to-end at build time: a client container tunneled its own
|
||||
HTTP server through the packaged server (token auth, lazy service bind,
|
||||
hot-reload of added services).
|
||||
- TCP surface: control channel on 2333 + a 100-port tunnel exit range
|
||||
(5200-5299) declared via `tcpPorts` with `containerPort`/`portCount`.
|
||||
- No user concept → `httpAuth.type = proxy` gates a small static status
|
||||
page served on the HTTP port (also serves as the platform health
|
||||
check); tunnel access itself is controlled by rathole's mandatory
|
||||
per-service tokens.
|
||||
- Addons: `localstorage` only (config persistence; no database).
|
||||
- Logo padded from the upstream wordmark to a 256x256 PNG.

# Rathole — Cloudron Package
|
||||
|
||||
[Rathole](https://github.com/rathole-org/rathole) is a secure, stable and
|
||||
high-performance reverse proxy for NAT traversal (frp/ngrok class, written
|
||||
in Rust). This package runs the **server** side: the Cloudron box is the
|
||||
public-IP endpoint, rathole clients behind NAT dial the control port, and
|
||||
their local services are exposed through token-authenticated tunnels.
|
||||
|
||||
## Packaging overview
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Choice |
|
||||
|--------|--------|
|
||||
| Pattern | Pre-compiled binaries (JOURNAL pattern #5) |
|
||||
| Base image | `cloudron/base:4.0.0` (Ubuntu 22.04) |
|
||||
| Upstream binary | `rathole-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.zip`, v0.5.0, sha256-pinned in Dockerfile |
|
||||
| Addons | `localstorage` only (config persistence; no database) |
|
||||
| Auth | No user concept → `httpAuth.type = proxy` (see below) |
|
||||
| Runtime | `start.sh` seeds config, serves status page, execs rathole `--server` |
|
||||
|
||||
Why pre-compiled: upstream ships release binaries and **dropped the musl
|
||||
builds in v0.5.0** (only `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` remains for Linux
|
||||
amd64). The gnu binary is built on ubuntu-latest, so the runtime needs
|
||||
glibc >= 2.35 — hence `cloudron/base:4.0.0` (22.04) instead of the 3.x
|
||||
series (20.04). Compiling from source would need a full Rust toolchain
|
||||
build stage for no benefit.
|
||||
|
||||
## Authentication (auth gate verdict: proxy)
|
||||
|
||||
- Rathole has **no user concept**: no web UI, no accounts, no SSO hooks.
|
||||
- Tunnels are authorized by **mandatory per-service tokens** (a random
|
||||
`default_token` is generated into `/app/data/server.toml` on first
|
||||
start). Transport can additionally be encrypted via Noise or TLS.
|
||||
- The manifest declares `httpAuth: {"type": "proxy"}`: Cloudron's auth
|
||||
proxy gates the HTTP status page, which is the only HTTP surface this
|
||||
app has. The raw TCP tunnel ports cannot be HTTP-gated by design; the
|
||||
token layer is their access control.
|
||||
|
||||
## Ports
|
||||
|
||||
| Port | Type | Purpose |
|
||||
|------|------|---------|
|
||||
| 8000 | `httpPort` | Status/health page (behind Cloudron auth proxy) |
|
||||
| 2333 | `tcpPorts` | Control channel — rathole clients connect here |
|
||||
| 5200–5299 | `tcpPorts` (100-port range) | Tunnel exit ports — one per `[server.services.*]` |
|
||||
|
||||
With default install settings Cloudron bridges these 1:1 (external
|
||||
5200-5299 → container 5200-5299). If the admin picks a different
|
||||
`SERVICE_PORT` start value, the *container* ports stay 5200+ and only the
|
||||
external numbering shifts — `server.toml` never needs editing for that.
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
`/app/data/server.toml`, seeded on first run, **hot-reloaded on save**
|
||||
(add/remove services without restarting the app). The seed contains a
|
||||
placeholder `[server.services.example]` on :5200 — rathole rejects a
|
||||
server config with zero services, so keep at least one block. Example
|
||||
service:
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[server.services.my_nas_ssh]
|
||||
token = "<copy from default_token or set your own>"
|
||||
bind_addr = "0.0.0.0:5200"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Client side (machine behind NAT):
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[client]
|
||||
remote_addr = "your-cloudron.example.com:2333"
|
||||
|
||||
[client.services.my_nas_ssh]
|
||||
token = "<same token as the server>"
|
||||
local_addr = "127.0.0.1:22"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then `ssh -p 5200 user@your-cloudron.example.com` reaches the NAS.
|
||||
|
||||
Knob: `RUST_LOG` (error|warn|info|debug|trace, default `info`) via
|
||||
Cloudron environment settings — see `.env.example`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Build & test
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker build --cgroup-parent ukrrs-batch.slice -t rathole-cloudron:test Package-Workspace/Infrastructure/rathole/
|
||||
docker run --rm --entrypoint /usr/local/bin/rathole rathole-cloudron:test --version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Files
|
||||
|
||||
- `Dockerfile` — pinned release download + sha256 gate on cloudron/base:4.0.0
|
||||
- `CloudronManifest.json` — manifestVersion 2, httpAuth proxy, tcpPorts (control + 100-port service range)
|
||||
- `start.sh` — config seeding, status page, exec rathole server mode
|
||||
- `status.html` — auth-proxied landing/health page
|
||||
- `.env.example` — runtime knobs
|
||||
- `logo.png` — 256x256, padded from upstream wordmark
