The host will no longer store logs in the database. Instead,
logging is done by syslog if running linux. If running
Windows, logs are now stored in a local file in the app
config directory.
Fixed a bug with -add_admin that would fail to create more
than one admin accounts in sequence due to the blank email
addresses being blank. It will now create fake email
addresses unique to each admin account.
Added -res_pw to reset user acccount passwords from the CLI
if needed.
Logging was also expanded to capture and log all failures
reported by all modules stderr output.
Updated build.py and install.py for QT6 support and moved
the linux .service file from /etc to /lib to conform to
systemd standards.
Removed the ls_dbg command because in database logging is
no longer done.
- I decided to remove the entire concept of a root user.
Instead, the host initializes as a blank slate and it
will be up to the host admin to create a rank 1 user via
the new command line option "-add_admin" to do initial
setup with.
- There is no longer such a concept as a protected user.
Meaning even the last rank 1 user in the host database
is allowed to delete or modify the rank of their own
account. To prevent permanent "admin lock out" in this
scenario the "-elevate" command line option was created.
- Host settings are no longer stored in the database.
Instead, host settings are now stored in a conf.json file
in /etc/mrci/conf.json if running on a linux based OS or
in %Programdata%\mrci\conf.json if running on Windows.
- Email templates are no longer stored in the database.
Instead, the templates can be any file formatted in UTF-8
text stored in the host file system. The files they point
to can be modified in the conf.json file.
- The conf file also replaced all use env variables so
MRCI_DB_PATH, MRCI_WORK_DIR, MRCI_PRIV_KEY and
MRCI_PUB_KEY are no longer in use. SSL/TLS cert paths can
be modified in the conf file.
- Removed email template cmds set_email_template and
preview_email.
- Also removed cmds close_host, host_config and
restart_host. The actions these commands could do is best
left to the host system command line.
- The database class will now explicitly check for write
permissions to the database and throw an appropriate
error message if the check fails. "DROP TABLE" SQL
abilities were added to make this happen.
- Removed async cmds exit(3), maxses(5) and restart(11).
- SSL certs are no longer stored in the host database. This was
done not only for security reasons but there is simply no need
to do such thing anymore.
- The host will longer support multiple SSL certs and will instead
have just a single cert for all TCP connections. This required a
change to the client header format that simply replaced the the
common name with padding. The host will also no longer send the
HOST_CERT type id during session initialization. HOST_CERT was
also removed as a type id.
- The cert and privite key are now pointed to files in the local
file system by the environment variables: MRCI_PRIV_KEY and
MRCI_PUB_KEY.
- The host will still create a default self-signed cert if a valid
cert and private key is not defined in the above environmental
vars. Since the host only support single certs now, the default
cert needed to be expanded to include subject alternative names.
The host will try to detect it's WAN ip address using ipify.org
and then assign SANs for all detected local LAN interfaces.
- Since the cert is now handled by environmental vars and nothing
related to it stored in the database, all the core commands
related to cert management were removed.
fixed some errors found in the documentation and fully updated the internal
commands docs as well.
also updated the internal module to now respond to KILL_CMD so it can now be
signaled to terminate gracefully.
-the add_mod command now requires the -mod_path argument as it should.
-the session now filter out bad NEW_CMD frames based on bad command names and incorrect
frame sizes.
-modules running in list mode can now send ERR frames to the session to log error
messages to the host database.
