In almost all scenarios MinIO now is
mostly ready for all sub-systems
independently, safe-mode is not useful
anymore and do not serve its original
intended purpose.
allow server to be fully functional
even with config partially configured,
this is to cater for availability of actual
I/O v/s manually fixing the server.
In k8s like environments it will never make
sense to take pod into safe-mode state,
because there is no real access to perform
any remote operation on them.
This commit refactors the certificate management implementation
in the `certs` package such that multiple certificates can be
specified at the same time. Therefore, the following layout of
the `certs/` directory is expected:
```
certs/
│
├─ public.crt
├─ private.key
├─ CAs/ // CAs directory is ignored
│ │
│ ...
│
├─ example.com/
│ │
│ ├─ public.crt
│ └─ private.key
└─ foobar.org/
│
├─ public.crt
└─ private.key
...
```
However, directory names like `example.com` are just for human
readability/organization and don't have any meaning w.r.t whether
a particular certificate is served or not. This decision is made based
on the SNI sent by the client and the SAN of the certificate.
***
The `Manager` will pick a certificate based on the client trying
to establish a TLS connection. In particular, it looks at the client
hello (i.e. SNI) to determine which host the client tries to access.
If the manager can find a certificate that matches the SNI it
returns this certificate to the client.
However, the client may choose to not send an SNI or tries to access
a server directly via IP (`https://<ip>:<port>`). In this case, we
cannot use the SNI to determine which certificate to serve. However,
we also should not pick "the first" certificate that would be accepted
by the client (based on crypto. parameters - like a signature algorithm)
because it may be an internal certificate that contains internal hostnames.
We would disclose internal infrastructure details doing so.
Therefore, the `Manager` returns the "default" certificate when the
client does not specify an SNI. The default certificate the top-level
`public.crt` - i.e. `certs/public.crt`.
This approach has some consequences:
- It's the operator's responsibility to ensure that the top-level
`public.crt` does not disclose any information (i.e. hostnames)
that are not publicly visible. However, this was the case in the
past already.
- Any other `public.crt` - except for the top-level one - must not
contain any IP SAN. The reason for this restriction is that the
Manager cannot match a SNI to an IP b/c the SNI is the server host
name. The entire purpose of SNI is to indicate which host the client
tries to connect to when multiple hosts run on the same IP. So, a
client will not set the SNI to an IP.
If we would allow IP SANs in a lower-level `public.crt` a user would
expect that it is possible to connect to MinIO directly via IP address
and that the MinIO server would pick "the right" certificate. However,
the MinIO server cannot determine which certificate to serve, and
therefore always picks the "default" one. This may lead to all sorts
of confusing errors like:
"It works if I use `https:instance.minio.local` but not when I use
`https://10.0.2.1`.
These consequences/limitations should be pointed out / explained in our
docs in an appropriate way. However, the support for multiple
certificates should not have any impact on how deployment with a single
certificate function today.

For 'snapshot' type profiles, record a 'before' profile that can be used
as `go tool pprof -base=before ...` to compare before and after.
"Before" profiles are included in the zipped package.
[`runtime.MemProfileRate`](https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/#pkg-variables)
should not be updated while the application is running, so we set it at startup.

This PR refactors object layer handling such
that upon failure in sub-system initialization
server reaches a stage of safe-mode operation
wherein only certain API operations are enabled
and available.
This allows for fixing many scenarios such as
- incorrect configuration in vault, etcd,
notification targets
- missing files, incomplete config migrations
unable to read encrypted content etc
- any other issues related to notification,
policies, lifecycle etc
- This PR allows config KVS to be validated properly
without being affected by ENV overrides, rejects
invalid values during set operation
- Expands unit tests and refactors the error handling
for notification targets, returns error instead of
ignoring targets for invalid KVS
- Does all the prep-work for implementing safe-mode
style operation for MinIO server, introduces a new
global variable to toggle safe mode based operations
NOTE: this PR itself doesn't provide safe mode operations
The change now is to ensure that we take custom URL as
well for updating the deployment, this is required for
hotfix deliveries for certain deployments - other than
the community release.
This commit changes the previous work d65a2c6725
with newer set of requirements.
Also deprecates PeerUptime()
* Cleanup ui-errors and print proper error messages
Change HELP to HINT instead, handle more error
cases when starting up MinIO. One such is related
to #8048
* Apply suggestions from code review
This change allows indefinitely running go-routines to cleanup
gracefully.
This channel is now closed at the beginning of each test so that
long-running go-routines quit and a new one is assigned.
Save http trace to a file instead of displaying it onto the console.
the environment variable MINIO_HTTP_TRACE will be a filepath instead
of a boolean.
This to handle the scenario where both json and http tracing are
turned on. In that case, both http trace and json output are displayed
on the screen making the json not parsable. Loging this trace onto
a file helps us avoid that scenario.
Fixes#5263
* Refactor HTTP server to address bugs
* Remove unnecessary goroutine to start multiple TCP listeners.
* HTTP server waits for shutdown to maximum of Server.ShutdownTimeout
than per serverShutdownPoll.
* Handles new connection errors properly.
* Handles read and write timeout properly.
* Handles error on start of HTTP server properly by exiting minio
process.
Fixes#4494#4476 & fixed review comments
