Online Fuzturday #1

First proposal of a Telemake event, the theme for this one is to migrate presence button's API from https://presence-button.glitch.me to sonic (at https://presence.fuz.re). Event will take place 2020-06-06 15:00 (approx) Paris time, on Jitsi meet https://talk.fdn.fr/onlinefuzturday1

Proposed plan

  • adduser presence
  • install nodejs
  • deploy code
  • systemd service
  • add vhost to lighttpd
  • letsencrypt
  • add ssl to vhost
  • test

If we have time:

  • continuous delivery
  • Ansible?
  • get rid of clunky lighttpd (caddy is awesome)

Log

Nobody showed up on Jitsi, I (Lomanic) stopped all my shiny OBS setup and did this alone.

  • sudo adduser presence
  • sudo -u presence -i; curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh | bash; nvm install node --lts
  • git clone https://git.interhacker.space/Lomanic/presence-button-web, add .env file and append echo "PORT=3000" >> .env, otherwise the listening port would be dynamic (useless for reverse proxy)
  • following https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/creer_un_service_avec_systemd#exemple_de_service_de_type_simple
    cat << EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/presence-button-web.service >/dev/null

    EOF
    sudo systemctl enable presence-button-web.service
  • add this to /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
    $HTTP["host"] == "presence.fuz.re" {
        $HTTP["scheme"] == "http" {
            server.document-root = "/var/www/fuz.re/presence/site"
                    $HTTP["url"] !~ "^/.well-known/acme-challenge/" {
                            proxy.server = ( "" => (("host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 3000)) ) # the nodejs server handles the HTTPS redirect by itself as historically ESP couldn't talk SSL (and Glitch doesn't auto-redirect), so was not redirecting /api
                    }
            }
    
            #$SERVER["socket"] == ":443" {
            #       ssl.engine  = "enable"
            #       proxy.server = ( "" => (("host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 3000)) )
            #       ssl.ca-file = "/etc/lighttpd/certs/authority.pem"
            #       ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/certs/presence.fuz.re.pem"
            #}
    }

    mkdir -p /var/www/fuz.re/presence/site

  • oh letsencrypt, what a nice WTF moment. You have to edit some random /etc/letsencrypt/autorenew.sh to include your new domain (and of course, this script is only manually called right?) while everything can be done inside certbot already (you can call commands after a successful renewal). For the curious as it's not documented anywhere (found this script almost by mistake in fact):
    sudo letsencrypt certonly -n --agree-tos -d presence.fuz.re --webroot --webroot-path /var/www/fuz.re/presence/site/
    sudo cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/presence.fuz.re/{privkey,cert}.pem | sudo tee /etc/lighttpd/certs/presence.fuz.re.pem >/dev/null
  • uncomment the SSL part in /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf above
  • http://presence.fuz.rehttps://presence.fuz.re everything looks OK (didn't test with an ESP but it would post a message in #toctoctoc), though there are many unsatisfactory things remaining (the lighttpd/frankenletsencrypt duo is maddening of course, but the presence-button-web code is bad in many ways), this will be for another day
