This matches the convention of the stdlib and avoids ambiguity: when
customErr{} and &customErr{} both implement error, client code needs to
check for both.
Memory use should remain the same, since storing a non-pointer type in
an interface value still copies the value to the heap.
This adds a certificate lifetime parameter to our certificate generation
and hard codes it to twenty years in some uninteresting places. In the
main binary there are a couple of constants but it results in twenty
years for the device certificate and 820 days for the HTTPS one. 820 is
less than the 825 maximum Apple allows nowadays.
This also means we must be prepared for certificates to expire, so I add
some handling for that and generate a new certificate when needed. For
self signed certificates we regenerate a month ahead of time. For other
certificates we leave well enough alone.
This is the result of:
- Changing build.go to take the protobuf version from the modules
instead of hardcoded
- `go get github.com/gogo/protobuf@v1.3.0` to upgrade
- `go run build.go proto` to regenerate our code
* go mod init; rm -rf vendor
* tweak proto files and generation
* go mod vendor
* clean up build.go
* protobuf literals in tests
* downgrade gogo/protobuf
This changes the TLS and certificate handling in a few ways:
- We always use TLS 1.2, both for sync connections (as previously) and
the GUI/REST/discovery stuff. This is a tightening of the requirements
on the GUI. AS far as I can tell from caniusethis.com every browser from
2013 and forward supports TLS 1.2, so I think we should be fine.
- We always greate ECDSA certificates. Previously we'd create
ECDSA-with-RSA certificates for sync connections and pure RSA
certificates for the web stuff. The new default is more modern and the
same everywhere. These certificates are OK in TLS 1.2.
- We use the Go CPU detection stuff to choose the cipher suites to use,
indirectly. The TLS package uses CPU capabilities probing to select
either AES-GCM (fast if we have AES-NI) or ChaCha20 (faster if we
don't). These CPU detection things aren't exported though, so the tlsutil
package now does a quick TLS handshake with itself as part of init().
If the chosen cipher suite was AES-GCM we prioritize that, otherwise we
prefer ChaCha20. Some might call this ugly. I think it's awesome.
This adds one new feature, that discovery servers can have ?nolookup to
be used only for announces. The default set of discovery servers is
changed to:
- discovery.s.n used for lookups. This is dual stack load balanced over
all discovery servers, and returns both IPv4 and IPV6 results when they
exist.
- discovery-v4.s.n used for announces. This has IPv4 addresses only and
the discovery servers will update the unspecified address with the IPv4
source address, as usual.
- discovery-v6.s.n which is exactly the same for IPv6.

This makes it OK to not have any listeners working. Specifically,
- We don't complain about an empty listener address
- We don't complain about not having anything to announce to global
discovery servers
- We don't send local discovery packets when there is nothing to
announce.
The last point also fixes a thing where the list of addresses for local
discovery was set at startup time and never refreshed.

Also tweaks the proto definitions:
- [packed=false] on the block_indexes field to retain compat with
v0.14.16 and earlier.
- Uses the vendored protobuf package in include paths.
And, "build.go setup" will install the vendored protoc-gen-gogofast.
This should ensure that a proto rebuild isn't so dependent on whatever
version of the compiler and package the developer has installed...

This makes the device ID a real type that can be used in the protobuf
schema. That avoids the juggling back and forth from []byte in a bunch
of places and simplifies the code.

A random "instance ID" is generated on each start of the local discovery
service. The instance ID is included in the announcement. When we see a
new instance ID we treat is a new device and respond with an
announcement of our own. Hence devices get to know each other quickly on
restart.

This changes the BEP protocol to use protocol buffer serialization
instead of XDR, and therefore also the database format. The local
discovery protocol is also updated to be protocol buffer format.

This is a supplement patch to commit a58f69b which only fixed global
discovery. This patch adds the missing parts for the local discovery.
If the listen address scheme is set to tcp4:// or tcp6:// and no
explicit host is specified, an address should not be considered if the
source address does not match this scheme.
This prevents invalid URIs like tcp4://<IPv6 address>:<port> or tcp6://<IPv4
address>:<port> for local discovery.

Also fixes an issue where the discovery cache call would only return the
newest cache entry for a given device instead of the merged addresses
from all cache entries (which is more useful).
