Overwriting configuration files is likely to happen if a
user syncs their home directories across computers. In this
case, the biggest risk is that all nodes will end up with
the same certificate and thus Device ID.
When the model prepares a folder for syncing, it checks to
see if the configuration files this instance is using are
getting synced. If the are getting synced, and they aren't
getting ignored, a warning is emitted. The model is used
so that when a new folder is added dynamically, a warning
is also emitted.
This will not prevent a user from shooting themselves in
the foot, and will not cover all cases (e.g. symlinks).
It should provide _something_ for many users in this
situation to go on, though.
This implements a new debug/trace infrastructure based on a slightly
hacked up logger. Instead of the traditional "if debug { ... }" I've
rewritten the logger to have no-op Debugln and Debugf, unless debugging
has been enabled for a given "facility". The "facility" is just a
string, typically a package name.
This will be slightly slower than before; but not that much as it's
mostly a function call that returns immediately. For the cases where it
matters (the Debugln takes a hex.Dump() of something for example, and
it's not in a very occasional "if err != nil" branch) there is an
l.ShouldDebug(facility) that is fast enough to be used like the old "if
debug".
The point of all this is that we can now toggle debugging for the
various packages on and off at runtime. There's a new method
/rest/system/debug that can be POSTed a set of facilities to enable and
disable debug for, or GET from to get a list of facilities with
descriptions and their current debug status.
Similarly a /rest/system/log?since=... can grab the latest log entries,
up to 250 of them (hardcoded constant in main.go) plus the initial few.
Not implemented in this commit (but planned) is a simple debug GUI
available on /debug that shows the current log in an easily pasteable
format and has checkboxes to enable the various debug facilities.
The debug instructions to a user then becomes "visit this URL, check
these boxes, reproduce your problem, copy and paste the log". The actual
log viewer on the hypothetical /debug URL can poll regularly for new log
entries and this bypass the 250 line limit.
The existing STTRACE=foo variable is still obeyed and just sets the
start state of the system.
Not necessarily the easiest way to fix just this bug, but the root cause
was using the (at that point uninitialized) cfg variable, so it seemed
sensible to just get rid of it to avoid that kind of crap.
The connections service no longer depends directly on the
syncthing model object, but on an interface instead. This
makes it drastically easier to write clients that handle
the model differently, but still want to benefit from
existing and future connections changes in the core.
This was motivated by burkemw3's interest in creating a
FUSE client that can present a view of the global model,
but not have all of the file data locally.
The actual decoupling was done by adding a connections.Model
interface. This interface is effectively an extension of the
protocol.Model interface that also handles connections
alongside the modified service.
This makes it so we can initialize the relay management and then give
that to the connection management, instead of the other way around.
This is important to me in the discovery revamp I'm doing, as otherwise
I get a circular dependency when constructing stuff, with relaying
depending on connection, connection depending on discovery, and
discovery depending on relaying.
With this fixed, discovery will depend on relaying, and connection will
depend on both discovery and relaying.
* syncthing/pr/1995:
Add switch to disable relays
Do not start relay service unless explicitly asked for, or global announcement server is running
Add dynamic relay lookup (DDoS relays.syncthing.net!)
Discovery clients now take an announcer, global discovery is delayed
Expose connection type and relay status in the UI
Add dependencies (fixes#1364)
Check relays for available devices
Add incoming connection relay service
Add unsubscribe to config
Connections have types
Large refactoring/feature commit
