| 23:54 | Improved the documentation for quote parsing in globs. ... (check-in: 609bf98b user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 23:46 | Fix to the prior commit: editing lost a closing "*/" in a comment, yet it compiled with only a warning, and I missed the warning. ... (check-in: c5d287b6 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 22:54 | Updated all of "fossil help *-glob" output to refer to the syntax docs instead of repeating the parsing rules in each setting, incorrectly. (If URLs in help output are verboten, then we need to repeat the rules *correctly* in each setting's help.) ... (check-in: 7dc0433b user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 22:30 | Added a few named anchors to the globs doc, added a mention of the new empty-dirs handling, and improved the internal MD markup style. ... (check-in: b293b265 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 22:23 | Brought the globs doc back into line with the underlying implementation, and to mention the new treatement of the empty-dirs setting's value. ... (check-in: 2c0b70eb user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 22:11 | Switched the empty-dirs setting handler from a one-off parser to glob_create() both so we get consistent behavior across the settings and because glob_create() allows quoted whitespace, needed when asking it to create directories with spaces in them. Addresses this forum report. ... (check-in: f12609fc user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 21:32 | Updated the function comment on glob_create() to match what it actually does. ... (check-in: c43205d7 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 21:27 | Replaced a complicated bit of logic with something slighlty less complicated, having the same effect. The glob parser used a mix of second-clause for-loop testing and internal break and continue checks without any other internal processing inside the loop. Combining all of this into a single expression requires the line to wrap (bad for clarity) but it does make clear all of the conditions required for this loop to continue iterating. I think it's a net improvement in clarity, though the margin is admittedly small. Testing shows no regression in functionality, limiting this non-functional change to a style improvement. ... (check-in: b8789239 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 21:07 | Reworked the prior commit's changelog entry to be more accurate and to match preexisting style. ... (check-in: 8ce70b4c user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

Fixed a symmetry problem in the vfile.chnged implementation: it had an
explicit check for when a file used to be a regular file and was
replaced by a symlink pointing to the same content, but it didn't then
check for the inverse case. Since the size and hash checks become
nonsense when both files aren't of the same type (whether symlinks or
regular files) we have to check for this case, too, else the only way to
get the "UNLINK" output from "fossil status" required trickery.
See this forum post for a test case and the trick previously needed to get Fossil to report "UNLINK" as a file's change status. ... (check-in: 4cca9033 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 18:31 | Moved the "sync is all-or-nothing" section of the gitusers doc above the autosync section. The order of those two isn't important, and it's better that autosync flow immediately into the new "reset" section without this as a digression. ... (check-in: b47b96a0 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 13:32 | Clarity pass on the autosync section of the gitusers doc ... (check-in: 80963ffe user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 13:21 | Added a new section "Resetting the Repository" to the gitusers doc, following and relying on the two recently-updated sections. ... (check-in: bd7b1099 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 12:19 | Added a motivating example to the "Autosync" section of the gitusers doc, showing why it's better to let the software system resolve conflicts asynchronously than to force Alice and Bob to fight it out, moving the synchronization point out into the human-time workflow. ... (check-in: 8975e8da user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 11:38 | Clarified the "Sync Is All-or-Nothing" section of the gitusers doc, adding a reference to the cap-theorem doc and dropping the "eventually-consistent" buzzword to explain *why* it's all-or-nothing. ... (check-in: 35b2307f user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 18:40 | Removed all of the XML-style " />" tag closing markers on empty tags such as "hr", "br", and "input" to placate modern HTML5 validators. That's the doctype we declare, not XHTML, so we should conform. (Besides which, the XHTML dream is dead.) ... (check-in: f5482a0a user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 17:23 | Fixed a manual section numbering duplication in the delta encoding algorithm doc. ... (check-in: d83f2490 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 17:20 | A prior edit to the quickstart doc left a vestigial version of the "Making and Committing Changes" section behind, resulting in duplicate information and a second h2 section with the same fragment ID. Some differences existed between the two presentations, so merged them rather than nuke the smaller (presumably older) one outright. ... (check-in: 39beee4c user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

In an effort to make www/* source documents read as cleanly as their
rendered counterparts, replaced nearly all use of HTML "p" tags, relying
instead on the Wiki and Markdown markup features to achieve the same
appearance. The only uses remaining are:
In many places, this cleanup gets rid of pointless stray "p" tags, placating HTML verifiers. ... (check-in: 1fd407f6 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 15:32 | Stray character deleted ... (check-in: 0cb4f1fc user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 14:20 | Replaced use of HTML "p" tags in the fiveminutes.wiki doc with hard line breaks, letting the wiki language add the same "p" tags on output. Replaced some of them with "tt" tags instead to make command text stand out from the prose. Added "tt" tags elsewhere for consistency. ... (check-in: 262eb510 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

2023-05-06

| 20:21 | Added explicit SIGINT handler for the rootful container (PID 1) case, so you can Ctrl-C it when "run -it". ... (check-in: a0b0d8f9 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 19:48 | Set permissions on /bin/fossil inside the container to 755, not 700. Docker doesn't care since it runs everything as virtual-root, but Podman does. Also, it complicates the extraction of a static binary since you probably didn't want it set to 700 root:root out on the host, too. ... (check-in: 260efac1 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 19:04 | Assorted cleanups to the Dockerfile: disentangled use of /tmp for building and creation of the eventual contents of /etc, dropped an unnecessary directory hierarchy level, removed an unused variable, whitespace fixes, etc. No functional change. ...

| 11:03 | Made the URL matcher more specific in the nginx doc when showing how to get long expiration times on URLs known to yield unchanging content so we can drop the warning about it affecting URLs more likley to change. Added a second example for images, CSS, JS and such to show how you might handle these differently, addressing the core issue by example than by prose warning. ... (check-in: f77ab197 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 10:00 | Added a bit more advice about caching to previous, and fixed a whitespace problem. ... (check-in: 4d5a6477 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 09:56 | Improved the caching configuration recommended in the nginx doc to show the option for immutable content service for /artifact, /doc, /file, and /raw URLs, which are likely to contain hashes that make the URLs unique identifiers for particular versions of the referenced content. ... (check-in: 1d0d6986 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 07:08 | Tiny tweaks to the systemd doc ... (check-in: 0835ec45 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 06:23 | Added a paragraph to the unvers doc on the "y" capability. ... (check-in: faffd271 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 06:17 | Modernized the URL format in the unvers doc: using an actual (reserved) domain name instead of the vague "domain", showing it as "https" since "http" is widely deprecated, and using "tt" tags around it to make it stand out from the surrounding sans-serif text and to prevent it from breaking across word-wrap boundaries. ... (check-in: d1a3dda6 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 06:15 | Edit pass on the unvers.wiki doc, primarily to replace passive voice phrasing with active voice. Made a few clarifications and grammar tweaks atop that. ... (check-in: fef0ade9 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 11:39 | Reordered a few sections in the container customization section to flow better and reduce redundancy. ... (check-in: bb189d17 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 11:29 | Moved the sectio about elaborating the container runtime layer down into the section of the doc where we talk about other customizations. Its prior location was because it was a tangent off a prior point, but it's just as easy to jump down via hyperlink. Assorted other small improvements while in there. ... (check-in: 301d4f21 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

|
2023-03-31

| 18:49 | Updated the Podman docs to no longer talk about all the "sudo" stuff we used to have to do to get it to build and run. There are no more mknod calls to fail in that rootless environment. ... (check-in: 779cb8fd user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| ||
| 13:29 | Using "FROM busybox" in the second stage of the Dockerfile instead of "FROM scratch" plus a copy of the busybox.static binary installed via APK in the first stage. We're throwing this layer away in the third stage, so the difference is immaterial. This simplifies things without losing anything we care about. ... (check-in: cda5d6a7 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 00:02 | Post-sleep edit pass on the new material in §3.2 of the containers doc. ... (check-in: d21fb267 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| ||
| 07:24 | Refined the Tcl and Python examples in the new §3.2 of the container doc. ... (check-in: 9baa4423 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 06:33 | Switched to a split ENTRYPOINT/CMD scheme for launching the Fossil server in the container. The immediate need is so we override lower-level ENTRYPOINTs provided by mix-in layers, but it's more correct generally. ENTRYPOINT says this is the hard-coded purpose of the container, and CMD gives the arguments to that command. The split is therefore between the mandatory parts and the parts the user might want to override without needing to write their own Dockerfile. ... (check-in: deb99e22 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 04:59 |
The container now uses BusyBox only in the build and setup stages,
leaving just the static Fossil binary in the final stage, plus absolute
necessities like a /tmp directory.
This removes the justification for the custom BusyBox configuration, which then means we can use Alpine's busybox-static package in the second stage, saving a bunch of network I/O and build time. That in turn means we no longer have any justification for jailing the Fossil binary, since there's nothing extra left inside the container for it to play with. Doing this required bumping the Dockerfile syntax back up from 1.0 to 1.3 to get the "COPY --chmod" feature; tested it in Podman, which has had it for two years now. Doing all of this simplifies the Dockerfile and its documentation considerably. As a bonus, it builds quicker, and it's nearly a meg lighter in compressed image form. Especially for the case of using the container as a static "fossil" binary builder, this is nothing but win. ... (check-in: 79ac06a5 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 10:21 | Comment and whitespace tweaks ... (check-in: 81c30ab9 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 08:27 | Switched from a Dockerfile "ADD" command to wget for the BusyBox source tarball because, surprisingly, BuildKit pulls the URL unconditionally under the logic that it can't know whether to cache the pulled data until it has a copy to compare against! This not only means you pull the BusyBox source tarball for each container build even though it's tagged and thus cannot possibly change, it puts a load on GitHub which then causes it to begin throttling each pull, making your local builds slower and slower when iterating on a change set, as in the prior set of commits. By pushing the URL down into a wget command, we cause BuildKit to see an unchanging shell script line (assuming $BBXURL keeps its default) so it *does* cache the pulled layer. ... (check-in: ac955594 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 08:13 | Another fixup to the nojail patch to track the previous. (Can't reliably create these patches without having a committed version to diff against, alas.) ... (check-in: c9e4b3d2 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 08:07 | Dropped our canned /etc/os-release file entirely, recommending instead that those who need a VM-like container image switch the second stage from "scratch" to one of Google's "distroless" images, which provide that and more. That in turn gets rid of the need for the dummied up /usr/bin and /run, which simplifies the mainstream case. ... (check-in: d778a023 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 07:43 | Updated the nojail patch so it applies cleanly atop all these recent Dockerfile changes. No functional change; merely tracks changes in the context parts of the diff. ... (check-in: 2bdd5819 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 07:03 | Tiny clarity tweaks to the Dockerfile. No functional change. ... (check-in: 591e3eb9 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 05:23 | Removed a reference to /etc/os-release from stage 2 of the Dockerfile. Commit [4cb5c03e] took care of stage 1 only. ... (check-in: 4b41a7f8 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 05:20 | Switched from "adduser" and "addgroup" commands for setting up the "fossil" user to direct echo-into-output, same as we already do for the root user. We had to to it for root since the BusyBox implementation of adduser/addgroup won't create these files if they're missing, but that meant we had two different ways of creating users and groups. This not only removes a weak dependency, it's more consistent. ... (check-in: fff11fc6 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 05:17 | Added the interactive debugging shell command to the Quick Start section of the containers doc for easy cut-and-paste. ... (check-in: 2f014407 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 16:40 | The /etc/os-release workaround for nspawn's pickiness has caused the feature to go into negative ROI territory. Ripped it out of the mainstream process and made it a manual step for those who need it, in the hopes that this will cause fewer ongoing problems than leaving it as it is. ... (check-in: 4cb5c03e user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 15:51 | Dropped declaration of Dockerfile syntax version from 1.4 to 1.0. Put it at 1.4 when we were using heredocs, a feature that went from experimental to stable at that version, then failed to drop it back when we replaced the use of heredocs with externally generated files to regain Podman compatibility. ... (check-in: 5b62bfe1 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 20:58 | Renamed the new "Capabilities" glossary entry to "Capability" since we shouldn't be using a plural top-word entry even though they're defined, transported, stored, and otherwise treated as a group. Also replaced a use of this word in its own definition. ... (check-in: d3f45814 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 20:44 | Moved the "snapshot" term in the glossary down into a footnote because it's got assorted problems, making it a much worse overall synonym for "version" even than "UUID". ... (check-in: 733ef88a user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 19:54 | Expanded the "version/revision/UUID/snapshot" discussion in the glossary into a separate term since these aren't strict synonyms for "check-in", the definition which previously hosted this topic. ... (check-in: 58030a78 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 19:00 | Added a new glossary item "Capabilities" to introduce the term and distinguish it from "Permissions", and made several changes to the referenced document to reinforce this distinction and explain why we bother to make it. ... (check-in: 23b91f37 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 17:24 | The recommendation to configure Fossil with the --static flag is semi-obsolete, and the following advice to look further down in the same document for the Docker workaround was wholly obsolete since moving all of this into the dedicated containers.md doc. Fixed all this up, and linked to the "why" answers on Stack Overflow about all of this in a few more places. ... (check-in: d282e42c user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 11:26 | Reverted half of commit [4ad86dd5]: it incorrectly moved a CSS style instead of copying it to where it also needed to be. The user-visible effect was that centered Pikchrs varied in size according to their size and complexity, which meant that elements that should've been the same size weren't. ... (check-in: 5ad62aba user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 05:16 | Cleaned up a few inconsistencies in the Pikchrs in the branching doc in an attempt to fix the smaller-and-smaller diagram size problem currently occuring in this doc. ... (check-in: 239fb5b1 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 03:59 | Wrapping a few calls to vfile_check_signature() from the new local diff code in unprotect/pop call pairs to squish a DB protection error. ... (check-in: 1b3ef05e user: wyoung tags: ui-local-diff) | |
| 03:29 | Brought the ui-local-diff branch up to date relative to trunk. It isn't a simple merge, primarily due to all the changes to /vdiff and /fdiff made over the past 2 years. It seems to work as well as it originally did, but it isn't ready to merge down to trunk as-is. ... (check-in: 76fa1657 user: wyoung tags: ui-local-diff) | |
| 03:18 | Replaced a standalone "diffFlags" variable in the /fdiff handler with use of the new DiffConfig.diffFlags member. No functional change, just a code cleanup found while working on another branch. Making it on trunk to keep that branch's diffs minimal. ... (check-in: 65d97f23 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 20:40 | Small fix to the nojail patch; accidentally lost the [80faedbc] change in the shuffle. ... (check-in: 7a6cf9dd user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 20:37 | Removed the two "mknod" calls from the Dockerfile in the nojail patch used by Podman rootless containers. Not only is the build user not allowed to run mknod in that case, there will be a /dev tree mapped into the container, causing the commands to fail due to these two basic dev nodes preexisting. ... (check-in: d97a8fb1 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 20:35 | No longer running "fossil" with a relative path ("bin/fossil") at the end of the Dockerfile, but instead relying on the hard-coded PATH defined a few sections prior. This allows the same command to work for both the rootful and rootless cases since moving the binary into /usr/bin/fossil to placate nspawn. Before, it was /jail/bin vs /bin, so the difference netted out to nothing. ... (check-in: 80faedbc user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 20:32 | Fixed a copy-paste error in the Podman sections of the container doc: was using "docker" commands instead of "podman" in a few places. That'll work for people who aliased them, but it's confusing. ... (check-in: 6eefa9b0 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 06:29 | Removed use of UPX in the container build process. It complicates the build for a tiny gain while breaking ARM builds. We worked around the ARM-on-ARM case earlier, but it also breaks x86 cross-compilation on ARM. Images are already compressed, and while `upx -9` is stronger compression than whatever Docker Engine is using, it's a small advantage. This does mean the static executable isn't compressed any more on x86, but if you want that, you can UPX it afterward. ... (check-in: da545c9e user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 05:28 |
Generating the /etc/os-release file for the OCI container using
autosetup at configure time rather than from a build arg in the
Dockerfile at image creation time. This lets us back out the use of
heredocs in the Dockerfile, which isn't supported in Podman at all as of
this writing and under Docker requires use of BuildKit rather than the
legacy "docker build" mechanism.
The primary consequence of doing it this way is that the Fossil version number in that generated file becomes the configure-time version, unconditionally. The old way let you override the FSLVER variable at image build time and have that value put into the os-release file. Under this new scheme, you now have to run "/jail/bin/fossil version" to find out what version of Fossil got baked into the image. ... (check-in: ec8ef573 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 23:09 | Worked out how to get systemd-container (a.k.a. nspawn + machinectl) working with the stock Fossil container. Following the above commits, it's pure documentation. Removed the runc and crun docs at the same time since this is as small as crun while being more functional; there's zero reaon to push through all the additional complexity of those even lower-level tools now that this method is debugged and documented. ...

| 21:27 | Added empty /tmp and /run directories to the "OS image" layer of the stock container in case someone is mounting the base layer read-only with tmpfs mounted atop these points.

| 11:44 | Reverted the build hack to strip out all but the default and darkmode skins in the stock Dockerfile. That was done to cater to a wish for extremely small ARM builds, for fun, not for any practical reason. It conflicts with a key philosophy behind this container project, to create stock Fossil builds by default.

| 09:11 | Mentioned containerd+nerdctl in place of runc in the containers doc. A tightened-up version of the prior runc and crun sections are now collected below the Podman section. This gives a better flow: each successive option is smaller than the last, excepting only nspawn, which is a bit bigger than crun. (We leave nspawn last because we can't get it to work!) ...

| 08:15 | Broke the Dockerfile up into more layers to allow better local caching at build time.

| 01:42 | Expanded the paragraph on WAL mode interactions in the container doc into a full section, placed higher up, immediately after the first use of Docker's "--volume" flag, to explain why we don't map just the repo DB file, but the whole directory it sits in. Even if we later convince ourselves WAL is safe under this scenario, it'll be conditional at best, so some remnant of this section must remain, no matter which way the experiments go. ...

| 23:46 | Renamed Dockerfile.in back to Dockerfile so it can be used as-is on non-autosetup systems. Realized that we can pass the Fossil checkin hash prefix in as a build arg instead of regenerating the file on disk from auto.def. If you use the Dockerfile as-shipped, you get a "trunk" build, which risks a stale cache — it thinks it already has a tarball by that name and helpfully refuses to pull it again — but at least Windows users get *something* without hand-hacking the file. ... (check-in: b0c9c26a user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 02:01 | Added the "Lightweight Alternatives to Docker" section to the new containers doc, currently limited to a tutorial on converting the stock Dockerfile to work under Podman in its default mode, creating a rootless container.

Added that set to the "make container-run" target so they get applied by default in the easy case. ... (check-in: f715add9 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

Using this new mechanism to pull the Fossil source tarball in such a way that we can use the Docker artifact cache without getting stale builds. You can now pass one of the new build args to force the old behavior if you want it. This required generating Dockerfile from Dockerfile.in at configure time, to inject the current Fossil checkin ID. (This busts the Docker cache when the source tree changes.) ... (check-in: f9384383 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 15:32 | Adding the BusyBox tarball to the container image with an ADD command rather than wget to avoid triggering GitHub throttling.

We leave a lot behind for expansion (e.g. the runit init system, crond, inetd…) but we remove things that have no possible justification, such as modprobe. We remove everything from /bin that's a shell builtin (echo, printf, test…) and we replace a few BusyBox commands (sha[13]sum) with wrapper shell scripts that call Fossil builtins. We cap that off by adding a "sqlite3" wrapper that calls "fossil sqlite3 --no-repository", just for fun. All together, this trims about a meg of fat. ...

Fossil's chroot feature drops root permissions based on file ownership,
but since the container was built with everything-root, its HTTP hit
handling children would run as whatever host-side UID/GID pair you used
for file ownership. What happened next was complex.
If you let the container create the repo internally, it would be owned as root, so it would drop root permissions for…root! This isn't super-bad, since Fossil is presumed secure and is double-jailed besides. The risk is, if anyone works out an RCE for Fossil, they might be able to get it to create raw sockets or do various other types of escapes despite the double-jail dance. Attaching a Docker volume brings external permisssions into the container. We were recommending a "chown 0" command on the shared volume to make it similar to the in-container case, but that opens you to the same risks above. If you ignored this and used host-side UID/GID pairs, Fossil would then be left running under IDs that didn't exist internally, which could cause assorted weirdness. We're now creating an explicit "fossil" user/group pair inside the container and recommending that Docker volumes use these IDs for copied-in files to batten down something that shouldn't've been left flapping. Updated build.wiki to cover all this. ... (check-in: ba21bc0b user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |
| 18:48 | Moved the SIGTERM handler up before the "fossil server" HTTP hit handler. We had it clustered with the other signal() calls, but those are to handle signals intended to occur only during CGI processing. This one will normally occur while we're blocked, waiting for the HTTP hit to occur, so it had no useful effect where it was. ... (check-in: d3c55fe0 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 23:39 | Using the preceding --chroot fixes to make the Docker container serve the repo from /jail/museum/repo.fossil rather than from the chroot dir, /jail.

Replaced Jan Nijtman's Dockerfile with a new one that does a 2-stage
build. The first stage runs atop Alpine Linux instead of Fedora,
reducing the initial build from ~635 MiB to about 16.
Rather than stop there, I then made it multi-stage, copying two key static binaries — Fossil and Busybox — over from the first stage into a fresh-from-scratch container and set it up to run the former jailed away from the latter. The result is under 9 MiB, and it's as secure as one can hope, given that it starts up in "PUBLIC" mode. The new build doesn't have all the extra features turned on that the old one did, but it seems right to build the container with Fossil in its default configuration. If you want something else, copy the Dockerfile, hack it, and make it do what you want instead. Having done all this, I replaced the one-off Dockerfile inline in section 5.0 of the build doc with a reference to this new Dockerfile and rewrote the section in terms of the new capabilities. Finally, this lets us brag on how small the container can be, as compared to the Gitlab-CE container. Before, we were comparing a standalone binary to the container, which wan't entirely fair. (The desire to produce such a container was the spark that kicked this project off.) ... (check-in: 77d603c6 user: wyoung tags: trunk) | |

| 19:49 | Continued the edit pass on the main body of the gitusers doc, shy of the case studies, mainly doing minor style tweaks. Biggest substantial change is to rewrite the colorized diff section to cover the changes in Fossil 2.17, and to present the alternatives in a more logical order. ...
