wings/CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

v1.2.2

Fixed

• Reverts changes to logic handling blocking until a server process is done running when polling stats. This change exposed a bug in the underlying Docker system causing servers to enter a state in which Wings was unable to terminate the process and Docker commands would hang if executed against the container.

v1.2.1

Fixed

• Fixes servers not be properly marked as no longer transfering if an error occurs during the archive process.
• Fixes problems with user detection when running Wings inside a Docker container.
• Fixes filename decoding issues with multiple endpoints related to the file manager (namely move/copy/delete).
• [Security] Fixes vulnerability allowing a malicious user to abuse the remote file download utilitity to scan or access resources on the local network.
• Fixes network tx stats not correctly being reported (was previously reporting rx for both rx and tx).

Changed

• Cleans up the logic related to polling resources for the server to make a little more sense and not do pointless io.Copy() operations.

v1.2.0

Fixed

• Fixes log compression being set on the Docker containers being created to avoid errors on some versions of Docker.
• Cleaned up logic handling server resource usage to avoid race conditions in the future and make the logic simpler.
• Fixes directories being created when writing a file before checking if there was space for the file to even be written to the disk.
• Significant performance and resource usage fixes to backups and server transfers to avoid obliterating machine i/o and causing excessive resource exhaustion on busy systems or low end machines.
• Fixes server install process to not unintentionally exit and cause invalid states if a line during the install process was too long.
• Fixes symlink error handling in backups to not unexpectedly tank a request. Any errors due to a symlink are now ignored and will not impact the generation of a backup (including for server transfers).

Changed

• Changed --debug flag to no longer ignore certificate errors on requests. Use --ignore-certificate-errors to ignore any certificate errors encountered when in development environments.
• Changed all Filesystem related errors to be of the same internal error type making error checking significantly easier and less error prone.
• Improves log output stacktraces to be more accurate as to the source of the issue.

Added

• Adds support for downloading files to a server's data directory and optionally checking the status of or canceling in-progress downloads.
• Adds a context.Context to server.Server structs allowing for cancelation of long running background tasks when a server is deleted without additional complexity on developer's end.

v1.1.3

Fixed

• Fixes archive/tar: write too long error when creating a server backup.
• Fixes server installation docker images not using authentication properly during the pull.
• Fixes temporary transfer files not being removed after the transfer is completed.
• Fixes TLS certificate checking to be all lowercase to avoid any lookup issues when an all-caps domain is provided.
• Fixes multiple interfaces with the same port not being publishable for a server.
• Fixes errors encountered during websocket processes being incorrectly passed back to the Panel as a JWT error rather than a generic Wings error for admin users.

Added

• Added logic to notify the Panel when archive generation fails.
• Added endpoint to run chmod commands against server files and updated API response to include the mode bits when requesting files.

Changed

• Updated internals to call Server.Environment.State() rather than deprecated Server.GetState() functions.
• Improved error handling logic and massively simplified error passing around the codebase.

v1.1.2

Fixed

• Fixes binaries built as part of the release process not being usable in MUSL based environments (such as our Docker images).
• Fixes server states being incorrectly set back to offline when a server is started after a system restart.

Changed

• Improved logic for cleaning allowed_mount paths for consistency.
• Certain context cancelation deadline errors are no longer wrong reported at an error level (since they're expected).
• Very minor micro-optimizations for some string handling with server console output.

Added

• Added a hidden option to disable all disk checking for servers by setting the disk_check_interval to 0 in the config file.

v1.1.1

Fixed

• Fixes certain files returning invalid data in the request due to a bad header set after sending data down the line.

v1.1.0

This release requires Panel@1.1.0 or later to run due to API changes.

Added

• Adds support for denying client JWT access to specific token keys generated before Wings starts, or before an arbitrary date from an API call.
• Adds support for a configurable number of log messages to be returned when connecting to a server socket and requesting the logs.
• Adds support for both CPU and Memory profiling of Wings via a CLI argument.

Fixed

• Errors encountered while uploading files to Wings are now properly reported back to the client rather than causing a generic 500 error.
• Servers exceeding their disk limit are now properly stopped when they exceed limits while running.
• Fixes server environment starting as an empty value rather than an "offline" value.

Changed

• Cleaned up code internals for handling API requests to make it easier on new developers and use a more sane system.
• Server configuration retrieval from the Panel is now done in a paginated loop rather than a single large call to allow systems with thousands of instances to boot properly.
• Switches to multipart S3 uploads to handle backups larger than 5GB in size.
• Switches the error handling package from pkg/errors to emperror to avoid overwriting existing stack traces associated with an error and provide additional functionality.

v1.0.1

Added

• Adds support for ARM to build outputs for wings.

Fixed

• Fixed a few docker clients not having version negotiation enabled.
• Fixes local images prefixed with ~ getting pulled from remote sources rather than just using the local copy.
• Fixes console output breaking with certain games when excessive line length was output.
• Fixes an error when console lines were too long that would cause the console to stop updating until the server was restarted,

Changed

• Simplified timezone logic for containers by properly grabbing the system timezone and then passing that through to containers with the TZ= environment variable.

v1.0.0

This is the first official stable release of Wings! Please be aware that while this specific version changelog is very short, it technically includes all of the previous beta and alpha releases within it. For the sake of version history and following along though, I've only included the differences between this version and the previous RC build.

Fixed

• Fixes file parser not properly appending newline character to modified lines.
• Fixes server disk usage not being properly reported back to the API and websocket.

Changed

• Changes diagnostics endpoint URL to be ptero.co rather than hastebin.com.
• Diagnostics report now includes system time for easier debugging of logs and container issues.

v1.0.0-rc.7

Fixed

• [Security] Prevents the allowed_mounts configuration value from being set by a remote API call.
• Fixes an unexpected error when attempting to make a copy of an archive file.
• Fixes certain expected filesystems errors being returned to the API as a 500 error rather than a 4XX series error.
• Fixes a panic crash when there is no text on a line and the parser is attempting to determine if the line is a comment.
• Fixes multiple filesystem operations to correctly check, increment, and decrement disk usage for a server.
• Fixes a negative disk space usage issue when deleting a file due to a bad int swap.
• Errors from a websocket connection being closed will no longer spam the console.
• Fixes an extraneous . in the install script for servers causing errors in some scenarios.
• Fixes unexpected error spam due to a change in how os.ErrNotExist is returned from some functions.

Changed

• Stacktrace is no longer emitted when warning that an image exists locally.
• Configuration parser now attempts to create the directory structure leading to a configuration file if it is missing.
• If a file name is too long for the system a nice error is returned to the caller.
• Enables client version negotiation for Docker to support more versions.
• Disk space errors are no longer logged into the wings logs.
• Servers can no longer be reinstalled while another power action is currently running. This avoids data collisions and wings running into issues with the container state.
• Wings now uses 1024 rather than 1000 bytes when calculating the disk space usage for a server to match how the Panel reports usage.
• JWT errors in the websocket are now sent back to the connection as a specific event type allowing them to be handled even if the timer fails to execute or executes but is not being listened for.
• A server struct is no longer embedded in the virtual filesystem allowing for easier testing and modularization of the codebase.
• Server websockets are now closed when a server is deleted, disconnecting any currently connected clients.

Removed

• [Security] Removes the SafeJoin function which could wrongly assume the state of a file and allow a user to escape the root if the developer implementing the call calls Stat rather than Lstat.

v1.0.0-rc.6

Fixed

• Fixes race condition when checking if the running state of a server has changed.
• Fixes files mistakenly unpacking themselves to the root directory rather than the directory they are told to unpack to.
• Fixes console output not being sent to the websocket in the same order that it was received.
• Fixes a file busy error causing a 500 error response when unpacking an archive rather than a 400 error with a message indicating what is wrong to the user.
• Fixes docker image not properly updating when a server is started.

Changed

• Replaces fragile event bus logic with a more robust and easier to understand system. This fixes all remaining console and stats output issues that have been reported.
• Cleans up API response error messaging to avoid empty errors being logged which cannot be acted upon.
• Adds support for retrying a file write a few times with a back-off if the file is busy when the write occurs.

Added

• Docker image pull data is shown in the console when an admin is connected to the websocket.
• Adds console throttling to stop a server if too much data is being piped out of the console. This logic mimics the logic present in the old Nodejs daemon, but with a 2x line count limit (1000 -> 2000) per period.

v1.0.0-rc.5

Fixed

• Fixes long standing bug with console output not properly sending back to the client with server stats in certain edge case scenarios. This was "fixed" in rc.4 but ended up breaking many servers in significantly more painful manners, but did allow us to better track down the issue.
• Fixes build flags during release process to correctly strip unnessary code allowing the final binary size to be reduced back down to ~5MB
• Fixes Wings returning the last 16384 lines of the log file when connecting to the websocket.
• Fixes pre-boot actions always running for a server start event even if the server is already running.

Added

• Adds support for configuring the amount of time that can elapse between server disk size checking before the value is considered stale.

v1.0.0-rc.4

Fixed

• Fixes server files being inaccessible if the root data path is a symlink to another location on the machine.
• Fixes some console output being written to the logs accidentally truncating other lines due to special ANSI sequences being output.
• Fixes server.properties files getting mangled by the automatic configuration editor when booting a server.
• Fixes a missed stream close when stopping resource polling that would lead to memory leaks.
• Fixes port bindings being incorrectly re-assigned when using 127.0.0.1 with Docker. These are now properly re-mapped to the pterodactyl0 interface so that networking operates as expected for the server.
• Fixes handling of values within arrays in yaml and json configuration files.
• Fixes a 304 error being returned rather than a 400 error when a file upload is invalid.
• Fixes deadlocks and response delays when processing server console and stat events. This was causing server consoles to become completely unresponsive after random periods of time and was only resolvable via a Wings restart.

Changed

• Allows a stale value to be present when starting a server if the server is allowed an unlimited amount of disk space.
• Removed all remaining traces of the zap logging library from the codebase.
• Servers no longer auto-restart as if they crashed when a stop command is manually sent via the server console to the instance.
• Changes the CORS checks to allow * as a remote origin.

Added

• Added an auto-generated logrotate file which is written to the normal logrotate directory when wings is first started.
• Added additional debug logging within the internals of the resource polling for servers to better trace unexpected behavior.
• Adds additional logic check to avoid even trying to stop a suspended server if it is already stopped.

v1.0.0-rc.3

Fixed

• Errors during the backup process are now correctly reported to the Panel and logged into the output correctly.
• Empty directories are no longer pushed into the backup file list (which was causing errors to occur previously).
• Covered an edge case to prevent errors if a file gets deleted while a backup is in progress.
• Fixed a bug causing Wings to panic and crash if an invalid environment variable value was passed through. These invalid values are now logged to the output to better detect and an empty string is returned in their place.
• Fixed startup variables and other server information not properly being updated when a server is restarted.
• Suspension state of a server is now properly returned by the API.
• Fixes an error being thrown if a backup does not exist on the local machine. A 404 is now properly returned and handled by the Panel when this occurs.
• Fixes an error when attempting to move or rename a folder due to the target being created accidentally before the rename occurred.
• Fixes install scripts running even when the checkbox to not run them on installation was selected in the Panel.

Changed

• Disk space checking modified to not block in as many parts of the codebase and allow returning a stale cache value where that is appropriate. Thanks @cyberkitsune!
• SFTP package code is now merged into the codebase to make keeping up with all of the code simpler, and reduce the complexity of the SFTP server.

Added

• Added the ability for a node to be configured to skip file permissions checking when starting a server.
• Added console output message to indicate that server disk space checking is occurring rather than silently sitting there.

v1.0.0-rc.2

Fixed

• Fixes significant performance degradation due to excessive syscall actions when determining directory sizes on large servers. This was previously causing CPU & I/O lockups on servers and should be significantly more performant and less impactful on the system now.
• Fixes panic crash when booting wings with no log directory created.

Changed

• Changed default interval for disk space calculation from every 60 seconds to every 2.5 minutes.

v1.0.0-rc.1

Fixed

• Servers are no longer incorrectly marked as stopping when they are, in fact, offline.
• Release build version is now correctly output when starting wings.
• Termination signals can now always be sent to a server instance even if the instance is currently starting/stopping.
• Removed the file chown on wings boot to avoid slowing down the boot process unnecessarily when working with hundreds of servers on a node.
• Fixed a multitude of race conditions throughout the code that cropped up during testing and made power handling even more robust for server instances.
• In general multiple fragile areas of the codebase have been improved and are more likely to return useful errors should they break.
• Addressed serious CPU usage issues when generating backups, and additionally decreased the amount of time they take to generate.

Changed

• Internal server now uses more secure and recommended TLS settings.
• Environment handling is now completely separate from the server package itself, allowing the environments to no longer be tightly coupled to the server.
• /tmp directory mounted into containers can now be programmatically managed and uses better defaults to avoid people even needing to edit it.

Added

• Wings logs are now properly persisted to the disk.
• Adds the ability for an egg to use ANSI-stripped matching when determining if a server is done booting.

v1.0.0-beta.9

Fixed

• Fixes server resource usage stats not being returned correctly by the API endpoint.
• Fixes an exception thrown when attempting to write server installation logs.
• Fixes error handling to provide a more accurate stack-trace in more scenarios where one is missing initially.
• Fixes a memory leak and zombie event listeners when disconnecting from a server's websocket.
• Fixes a race condition when wings is attempting to register/de-register event subscribers.
• Server data directories now correctly have their permissions set recursively when booting Wings.
• Fixes a race condition when a server's console stream was not fully closed before the next power action was started.

Changed

• Server power handling is now handled in a synchronous manner. This avoids endless bugs and race conditions that would crop up if someone triggered two restart processes back to back. The new logic prevents performing any additional power actions until the currently executing action is completed.
• Server disk usage is now correctly calculated when restarting the daemon as long as the server data directory exists.
• Multiple code pathways within the boot process were cleaned up and modified to be less IO intensive and overall easier to reason about as a developer.
• Additional timezone data is now mounted into containers to better improve the ability for instances running to be using the correct timezone.

Added

• Adds basic internal file upload endpoints (these are currently not exposed anywhere in the Panel).
• Added additional process events for installation start and completion.
• Additional CORS allowed origins for the websocket can now be defined in the configuration file.
• Adds the ability to authenticate with a docker registry when pulling images.

v1.0.0-beta.8

Fixed

• Server state is synced with the Panel before performing a reinstall to ensure that the latest information is used.
• Wings no longer crashes when a non-string environment variable value is passed through.
• SFTP server authentication no longer attempts to contact the Panel to validate credentials if the format is known to already be incorrect.
• Some previously missing error stacks are now properly returned when encountered.
• Renaming a file no longer triggers an error if the base path does not exist.
• Disk space is now properly calculated for a server even if it is assigned unlimited space.
• [Security] Prevent symlink files from unintentionally chmodding their target file when a server is booted when the target file resides outside the server data directory.
• [Security] Cleans up multiple code pathways that may unintentionally allow a malicious user to impact files outside their home directory.
• Fixes numerous race conditions during a server's boot process that may lead to unintended data states.
• Fixes an error thrown when attempting to delete a file that points to a symlink outside the server data directory.
• Deleting a symlink will no longer attempt to remove the source file, only the symlink itself.
• Websocket no longer blocks when handling a long running process for a user.

Changed

• Install log for servers is now more detailed and more useful for debugging what might be going wrong.
• Certain file management API endpoints now support passing through multiple paths at once to make mass actions easier to perform.
• Re-worked file walking implementation to not cause a server crash when working with very large directories, and avoid race conditions when recursively walking directories.
• Server configuration structure re-worked to be more manageable in the code base and avoid additional race conditions and complexity while making on-the-fly changes to it.

Added

• Support for configuring additional file mount points in a container via the Panel.
• Support for automated SSL certificate generation when booting the Daemon.
• Added wings diagnostics command.
• New API endpoints to compress and decompress files on a server.

v1.0.0-beta.7

Fixed

• Stacktraces are now displayed once in the error output, rather than twice when certain errors are encountered.
• Additional errors that did not previously output a stack trace have been fixed to output.
• Fixes a bug where server space available would be triggered when creating a new server from a remote configuration before that file location existed on the disk, leading to an error.
• Fixes context timeouts while pulling server docker images. Time was upped from 10 seconds to 15 minutes.
• Configuration file replacement values are now properly de-escaped when writing to the disk. \/no\/more\/slashes
• .properties files are now saved correctly to the disk with newlines, rather than shoved on a single line.
• ./wings configure command can now properly save the configuration to the disk.
• Custom SSL locations are no longer obliterated when making changes to the Node's configuration via the Panel.

Changed

• Exclusive lock is now acquired when performing a server installation to avoid two install processes being triggered at the same time. This also allows an install to be properly canceled if the server is deleted before it is completed.

v1.0.0-beta.6

Fixed

• Server status is no longer sent to all connected websocket clients when a new client connects to the socket.
• Server disk usage is sent back over the socket when connecting.
• Default configuration for the SFTP server is now properly returned to on rather than off
• Server boot is no longer blocked if there is an error fetching the Docker image as long as that image exists on the host.
• The websocket no longer gets locked up when Wings attempts to send an error to the client.
• Fixed a crash loop when an error is thrown during pre-boot phase of server startup.
• Errors with BindJSON in API endpoints are now properly handled and returned.
• Fixed warning about Gin running in non-release mode, even when the binary is running in release mode.

Changed

• Switched logging libraries to output data in a clearer format more suited to the CLI where this application runs.
• Cleaner debug messaging in debug mode from the router.

v1.0.0-beta.5

Fixed

• Default config location settled on /etc/pterodactyl/config.yml; wings will now check all of the previous locations for the configuration and move it automatically to the new location.
• Deleting a server no longer fails the process if the container cannot be found.
• Fixes permissions checking for subusers connecting to the SFTP instance.
• S3 backups now properly send back hash data to the panel.
• Server installation containers are now always deleted, even if the installer process fails for the instance.
• Files and folders with special characters and spaces in them no longer return a 404 error.
• Servers using eggs with bad configurations will no longer cause the daemon to fail booting; these bad configurations are simply skipped over and a warning is emitted into the logs.
• Environment variables passed to containers no longer contain improper quotes around them.
• Matching on array indexes in configurations now works correctly; foo[0] is quietly transformed into the proper foo.0 syntax.

Added

• New banner error message when the daemon is unable to locate the configuration file. This should better clarify what the user needs to do in order to resolve the issue.
• Adds ability to configure the default networking driver used by docker.

v1.0.0-beta.4

Fixed

• Fixes unexpected nil-pointer panic when attempting to start some newly created servers, or any server that was missing a container on the system.
• Fixes memory usage of process being reported differently than the docker stats output leading to some confusion. These numbers should be more correct now.
• Fixes possible nil-pointer panic when detecting a deleted container as being crashed.

v1.0.0-beta.3

Fixed

• Daemon will no longer crash if someone requests a websocket for a deleted server.
• Temporary directories are now created properly if missing during the server installation process.

Added

• Added support for using Amazon S3 as a backup location for archives.

Changed

v1.0.0-beta.2

Changed

• Backup functionality made significantly more modular to ease adding additional methods in the future.
• Websocket permissions changed to use same name as in panel.
• Container memory hard-limits are now adjusted up by 15% (< 2G memory), 10% (< 4G memory), or 5% to avoid unexpected OOM crashes for memory heavy games.

Added

• Adds support for ignoring files and directories when generating a new backup.
• Added internal directory walker with callback-continue support.

Fixed

• Fixed linux distro matching when booting the daemon.

• Added support for reinstalling an existing server.
• Added support for restarting a server.
• Adds support for transferring servers between daemon instances.
• Added auto-deploy command to fetch configuration from Panel automatically.

Changed

• Server file and backup downloads now hit a direct endpoint with a one-time JWT to avoid proxying large downloads through the panel.

Fixed

• Fixes a go routine causing a memory and CPU leak.
• Fixed improper chown of server directories on boot.
• Miscellaneous fixes to CPU usage, abandoned go-routines, and race conditions.
• Fixes support for Alpine based systems.

v1.0.0-alpha.2

Added

• Ability to run an installation process for a server and notify the panel when completed.
• Output from the installation process is now emitted over the server console for administrative users to view.

Fixed

• Fixed bugs caused when unmarshaling data into a struct with default values.
• Timezone is properly set in containers by using the TZ= environment variable rather than mounting timezone data into the filesystem.
• Server data directly is now properly created when running the install process.
