Every diagnostic command nebula has was reachable through exactly one door:
the built-in ssh debug server. That server is off by default, and turning it
on means generating a host key, writing an sshd block with authorized public
keys, and SIGHUPing the daemon. That is a lot of ceremony to answer "what
version is this node running".
Nebula now serves the same commands over a local unix socket, enabled by
default, and `nebula ctl <command>` runs them. The socket lives in a 0700
directory so filesystem permissions are the access control; no keys, nothing
on the network. Failing to create it is logged and never blocks startup.
The command registry was already transport neutral, so this is mostly new
transport rather than new commands:
- diag/ holds the registry, dispatch, writer and wire protocol, moved out
of sshd because none of it was ever about ssh. sshd and ctl.go dispatch
against one shared registry.
- commands.go holds every command implementation, moved out of ssh.go
(which was 85% not ssh) and renamed off the ssh prefix. Adding a command
there makes it available over both transports.
- ssh.go keeps only host keys, authorized users, and the listen address.
- ctl.go supervises the socket, following the statsServer lifecycle shape.
The wire protocol frames the response rather than terminating it, because
print-cert -raw and list-hostmap -json both emit arbitrary bytes that no
sentinel could safely delimit. argv travels as a list so quoting survives.
Exit statuses are real: 0, 2 for usage, 127 for an unknown command.
Two things fall out. The ssh console now reports a real exit status instead
of a hardcoded zero, so `ssh host list-hostmap` is scriptable too. And eight
command callbacks that silently returned nil on a flags type mismatch now
report it, which the exit status makes visible.
Windows is a stub returning a clear "not supported" until it gets a named
pipe with a security descriptor; iOS and Android are never enabled, having no
daemon for a CLI to attach to.
Breaking for embedders of the sshd package: NewSSHServer takes a
*diag.Registry, SSHServer.RegisterCommand is gone in favor of registering on
that registry, and the command types live in diag rather than sshd.

Fixes#8.
`nebula-cert ca` now supports encrypting the CA's private key with a
passphrase. Pass `-encrypt` in order to be prompted for a passphrase.
Encryption is performed using AES-256-GCM and Argon2id for KDF. KDF
parameters default to RFC recommendations, but can be overridden via CLI
flags `-argon-memory`, `-argon-parallelism`, and `-argon-iterations`.
- Remove water and replace with syscalls for tun setup
- Support named interfaces
- Set up routes with syscalls instead of os/exec

We have a few small race conditions with creating the HostInfo.ConnectionState
since we add the host info to the pendingHostMap before we set this
field. We can make everything a lot easier if we just add an "init"
function so that we can set this field in the hostinfo before we add it
to the hostmap.
`func (nc *NebulaCertificate) VerifyPrivateKey(key []byte) error` would
previously return an error even if passed the correct private key for a
CA certificate `nc`.
That function has been updated to support CA certificates, and
nebula-cert now calls it before signing a new certificate. Previously,
it would perform all constraint checks against the CA certificate
provided, take a SHA256 fingerprint of the provided certificate, insert
it into the new node certificate, and then finally sign it with the
mismatching private key provided.
Hi @nbrownus
Fixed a small bug that was introduced in
df7c7ee#diff-5d05d02296a1953fd5fbcb3f4ab486bc5f7c34b14c3bdedb068008ec8ff5beb4
having problems due to it
* this brings in the new version of kardianos/service which properly
outputs logs from launchd services
* add go sum
* is it really this easy?
* Update CHANGELOG.md
* add configurable punching delay because of race-condition-y conntracks
* add changelog
* fix tests
* only do one punch per query
* Coalesce punchy config
* It is not is not set
* Add tests

This is the initial creation of a CHANGELOG. When we are ready to cut
a release we can change the version at the top and update the links at
the bottom.
