CHANGES:

  • Revise Name.t to use ':' as path separation, and allow '.' in labels.
    Previously the path was built by the common name in the X.509 certificate
    chain and the leaf certificate was appended (i.e. chain certificate "foo",
    chain certificate "bar", leaf certificate "my.unikernel" lead to the name
    "foo.bar.my.unikernel" -- and chain certificate "foo", leaf "bar.my.unikernel"
    lead to the identical name). Since the holder of the certificate and private
    key "foo" could issue at any point another intermediate certificate for "bar",
    this is not security critical -- but for resource management this was
    confusing and lead to some issues (policy could be violated).
    Now, the path separator is ':' (i.e. "foo:bar:my.unikernel" and
    "foo:bar.my.unikernel").
    In addition, various test cases have been added, for vmm_trie, vmm_resources
    and also for old and new wire versions (albatross daemon state, command
    execution) to ensure that old clients continue to work with new server
    components. The wire version has been bumped to WV5, since the Name.t encoding
    was changed. (#111, @hannesm @reynir)
  • systemd: fifo are created by albatross_daemon (not albatross_console) (#106,
    @reynir)
  • systemd: cleanup, use group albatross, (#108, fixes #105, @reynir)
  • documentation: remove solo5-elftool requirement -- since 1.4.0
    ocaml-solo5-elftool is used (#109 @hannesm)
  • CI execute tests (#112, @hannesm)
  • fix URL to builder-web (https://builds.robur.coop) which dropped the
    opam-switch postfix in the URL (#113 @hannesm)
  • albatross-client-local, albatross-client-bistro: support remote (socket/host)
    '-' to output the command as hexdump (PEM file) on standard output (@hannesm)

CHANGES:

  • fix issues "use OCaml solo5-elftool instead of binary" where the compressed
    unikernel image was passed to the tool (if albatross-provision-request was

CHANGES:

  • albatross-provision-ca: support signing of server certificates
  • use solo5-elftool (developed in OCaml) instead of binary, avoids solo5
    dependency for albatross-client-* (#94 @reynir, fixes #93), removes jsonm
    dependency
  • albatross-influx: reconnect TCP to influx (telegraf) host (#97 @hannesm,
    fixes #69)
  • by default, do not print argv in unikernel_info (and pp_wire). only if the
    logging level is verbose (#96 @hannesm, fixes @92)
  • avoid file descriptor leak on Linux in albatross-stats when reading
    /proc//status (#99 @hannesm)
  • remove astring dependency (#99 @hannesm)
  • Debian packaging
    • install metadata and service scripts with 0644 permissions (@reynir)
    • postinst: do not use sudo (@reynir)
    • postinst: set ownerhip of /var/lib/albatross and /var/lib/albatross/block
      to $ALBATROSS_USER (@reynir)
    • postinst: create group and user only if they do not exist yet (@reynir)
    • install daemons into /usr/libexec/albatross to avoid accidental invocation
      (@hannesm #95, fixes #91)
    • add network.target and NetworkManager-wait-online.service to dependencies

CHANGES:

  • provide arguments for public-key-type and bits, the default is now
    Ed25519 (used to be RSA) (@hannesm)
  • use happy-eyeballs for name resolution and connection setup (@hannesm)
  • converge albatross-client-* semantics (@hannesm)
  • Implement block_set and block_dump subcommands, also block_add is extended
    to include the block device data (@hannesm, inspired by @dinosaure)
  • Implement update subcommand for albatross-client-{local,bistro}, which
    (a) retrieves the digest of a running unikernel (b) looks up that hash
    on http://builds.robur.coop (a repository of reproducible built unikernels)
    (c) does a unikernel update (with same arguments and configuration)
    (@reynir @hannesm)
  • Debian and FreeBSD packaging via orb, available on https://builds.robur.coop
