cmd/sentinel: tunnel identity bootstrap, flags and docs - #2457
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The sentinel now loads its tunnel identity at startup, or generates and
saves it (0600) on first start, installs it on the tunnel server, and
logs the pin on every start. A file that exists but cannot be read stops
the sentinel instead of being replaced.
New sentinel flags:
--tunnel-tls-identity identity file path
(default /etc/containarium/sentinel-tunnel-identity.pem)
--tunnel-allow-cleartext also accept the legacy cleartext handshake
(default true)
New subcommand `containarium sentinel tunnel-identity` prints the pin
(sha256:<hex>) in the form tunnel clients take with --sentinel-pin. It
only reads the identity file and never creates it.
docs/TUNNEL-REVERSE-PROXY.md: describe the TLS transport, ALPN routing,
handshake v2 with the session-bound token proof, identity and pin
handling, the new flags, and the upgrade order (sentinels first).

| 1. **Sentinels first.** A new sentinel accepts both TLS sessions and the legacy cleartext handshake while `--tunnel-allow-cleartext=true` (the default). Existing tunnel clients keep working. Each cleartext registration logs a `DEPRECATED` line naming the spot. | ||
| 2. **Distribute pins.** Run `containarium sentinel tunnel-identity` on each sentinel and add the pin to every tunnel client's configuration (`--sentinel-pin` or `CONTAINARIUM_TUNNEL_SENTINEL_PIN`). | ||
| 3. **Then tunnel clients.** An upgraded client requires a pin and only speaks TLS. Against a sentinel that has not been upgraded it fails the pin check, sends nothing, and keeps retrying, so upgrade the sentinel before its clients. | ||
| 4. **Refuse cleartext.** When `sentinel_tunnel_sessions_cleartext` on the sentinel's `/metrics` stays at zero, restart the sentinel with `--tunnel-allow-cleartext=false`. A cleartext peer then receives `{"ok":false,"error":"tls required; …"}` without its handshake being read, and `sentinel_tunnel_cleartext_refused_total` counts it. |

Require client migration before disabling cleartext.
Line 250 treats a zero sentinel_tunnel_sessions_cleartext count as the cutover condition. The count can reach zero while a legacy spot is disconnected, so it does not prove that every client uses TLS, as Line 241 requires. If an operator disables cleartext then, that spot’s next legacy connection is refused. Require confirmation that every client has migrated; use the zero count only as supporting evidence.

What
Wires the tunnel identity into the sentinel command and documents the TLS tunnel transport.
--provider=tunnelor hybrid mode), the sentinel loads its tunnel identity, or generates and saves it on first start (mode0600). It installs the identity on the tunnel server and logs the pin on every start. A file that exists but cannot be read stops the sentinel instead of being replaced, since replacing it would invalidate every client's pin.containarium sentinel:--tunnel-tls-identity(default/etc/containarium/sentinel-tunnel-identity.pem)--tunnel-allow-cleartext(defaulttrue): also accept the legacy cleartext handshake from older clients.containarium sentinel tunnel-identityprints the pin (sha256:<64 hex>) in the form tunnel clients take with--sentinel-pin. It only reads the identity file and fails if the file doesn't exist yet. It accepts--tunnel-tls-identityfor a non-default path.docs/TUNNEL-REVERSE-PROXY.md): rewrote the ConnMux, handshake, authentication and Security Considerations sections for the TLS transport, ALPN routing and handshake v2 (session-bound token proof). Added identity and pin handling, rotation through a pin list, the new flags, the transport metrics, and the upgrade order: sentinels first, then pins, then clients, then--tunnel-allow-cleartext=false.Tests
