Decommissioning a worker from the dashboard (or swarm controller) now
asks the agent to wipe its own install before the master forgets it.
The agent stops decky containers + every decnet-* systemd unit, then
deletes /opt/decnet*, /etc/systemd/system/decnet-*, /var/lib/decnet/*,
and /usr/local/bin/decnet*. Logs under /var/log are preserved.
The reaper runs as a detached /tmp script (start_new_session=True) so
it survives the agent process being killed. Self-destruct dispatch is
best-effort — a dead worker doesn't block master-side cleanup.
Teardowns were synchronous all the way through: POST blocked on the
worker's docker-compose-down cycle (seconds to minutes), the frontend
locked tearingDown to a single string so only one button could be armed
at a time, and operators couldn't queue a second teardown until the
first returned. On a flaky worker that meant staring at a spinner for
the whole RTT.
Backend: POST /swarm/hosts/{uuid}/teardown returns 202 the instant the
request is validated. Affected shards flip to state='tearing_down'
synchronously before the response so the UI reflects progress
immediately, then the actual AgentClient call + DB cleanup run in an
asyncio.create_task (tracked in a module-level set to survive GC and
to be drainable by tests). On failure the shard flips to
'teardown_failed' with the error recorded — nothing is re-raised,
since there's no caller to catch it.
Frontend: swap tearingDown / decommissioning from 'string | null' to
'Set<string>'. Each button tracks its own in-flight state; the poll
loop picks up the final shard state from the backend. Multiple
teardowns can now be queued without blocking each other.
Submitting an INI with a single [decky1] was silently redeploying the
deckies from the *previous* deploy too. POST /deckies/deploy merged the
new INI into the stored DecnetConfig by name, so a 1-decky INI on top of
a prior 3-decky run still pushed 3 deckies to the worker. Those stale
decky2/decky3 kept their old IPs, collided on the parent NIC, and the
agent failed with 'Address already in use' — the deploy the operator
never asked for.
The INI is the source of truth for which deckies exist this deploy.
Full replace: config.deckies = list(new_decky_configs). Operators who
want to add more deckies should list them all in the INI.
Update the deploy-limit test to reflect the new replace semantics, and
add a regression test asserting prior state is dropped.
docker compose up is partial-success-friendly — a build failure on one
service doesn't roll back the others. But the master was catching the
agent's 500 and tagging every decky in the shard as 'failed' with the
same error message. From the UI that looked like all three deckies died
even though two were live on the worker.
On dispatch exception, probe the agent's /status to learn which deckies
actually have running containers, and upsert per-decky state accordingly.
Only fall back to marking the whole shard failed if the status probe
itself is unreachable.
Enhance agent.executor.status() to include a 'runtime' map keyed by
decky name with per-service container state, so the master has something
concrete to consult.
Operators want to know what address to poke when triaging a swarm decky;
the compose-hash column was debug scaffolding that never paid off.
DeckyShard has no IP column (the deploy-time IP lives on DecnetConfig),
so the list endpoint resolves it at read time by joining shards against
the stored deployment state by decky_name. Missing lookups render as "—"
rather than erroring — the list stays useful even after a master restart
that hasn't persisted a config yet.
Agents already exposed POST /teardown; the master was missing the plumbing
to reach it. Add:
- POST /api/v1/swarm/hosts/{uuid}/teardown — admin-gated. Body
{decky_id: str|null}: null tears the whole host, a value tears one decky.
On worker failure the master returns 502 and leaves DB shards intact so
master and agent stay aligned.
- BaseRepository.delete_decky_shard(name) + sqlmodel impl for per-decky
cleanup after a single-decky teardown.
- SwarmHosts page: "Teardown all" button (keeps host enrolled).
- SwarmDeckies page: per-row "Teardown" button.
Also exclude setuptools' build/ staging dir from the enrollment tarball —
`pip install -e` on the master generates build/lib/decnet_web/node_modules
and the bundle walker was leaking it to agents. Align pyproject's bandit
exclude with the git-hook invocation so both skip decnet/templates/.
Agents now ship with collector/prober/sniffer as systemd services; mutator,
profiler, web, and API stay master-only (profiler rebuilds attacker profiles
against the master DB — no per-host DB exists). Expand _EXCLUDES to drop the
full decnet/web, decnet/mutator, decnet/profiler, and decnet_web trees from
the enrollment bundle.
Updater now calls _heal_path_symlink + _sync_systemd_units after rotation so
fleets pick up new unit files and /usr/local/bin/decnet tracks the shared venv
without a manual reinstall. daemon-reload runs once per update when any unit
changed.
Fix _service_registry matchers to accept systemd-style /usr/local/bin/decnet
cmdlines (psutil returns a list — join to string before substring-checking)
so agent-mode `decnet status` reports collector/prober/sniffer correctly.
Previously `decnet status` on an agent showed every microservice as DOWN
because deploy's auto-spawn was unihost-scoped and the agent CLI gate
hid the per-host commands. Now:
- collect, probe, profiler, sniffer drop out of MASTER_ONLY_COMMANDS
(they run per-host; master-side work stays master-gated).
- mutate stays master-only (it orchestrates swarm-wide respawns).
- decnet/mutator/ excluded from agent tarballs — never invoked there.
- decnet/web exclusion tightened: ship db/ + auth.py + dependencies.py
(profiler needs the repo singleton), drop api.py, swarm_api.py,
ingester.py, router/, templates/.
- Four new systemd unit templates (decnet-collector/prober/profiler/
sniffer) shipped in every enrollment tarball.
- enroll_bootstrap.sh enables + starts all four alongside agent and
forwarder at install time.
- updater restarts the aux units on code push so they pick up the new
release (best-effort — legacy enrollments without the units won't
fail the update).
- status table hides Mutator + API rows in agent mode.
Agents never run the FastAPI master app (decnet/web/) or serve the React
frontend (decnet_web/) — they run decnet.agent, decnet.updater, and
decnet.forwarder, none of which import decnet.web. Shipping the master
tree bloats every enrollment payload and needlessly widens the worker's
attack surface.
Excluded paths are unreachable on the worker (all cli.py imports of
decnet.web are inside master-only command bodies that the agent-mode
gate strips). Tests assert neither tree leaks into the tarball.
Bootstrap used to end with `decnet updater --daemon` which forks and
detaches — invisible to systemctl, no auto-restart, dies on reboot.
Ships a decnet-updater.service template matching the pattern of the
other units (Restart=on-failure, log to /var/log/decnet/decnet.updater.log,
certs from /etc/decnet/updater, install tree at /opt/decnet), bundles
it alongside agent/forwarder/engine units, and the installer now
`systemctl enable --now`s it when --with-updater is set.
Wi-Fi APs bind one MAC per associated station, so VirtualBox/VMware
guests bridged over Wi-Fi rotate the VM's DHCP lease when Docker's
macvlan starts emitting container-MAC frames through the vNIC. Adds a
`use_ipvlan` toggle on the Agent Enrollment tab (mirrors the updater
daemon checkbox): flips the flag on SwarmHost, bakes `ipvlan=true` into
the agent's decnet.ini, and `_worker_config` forces ipvlan=True on the
per-host shard at dispatch. Safe no-op on wired/bare-metal agents.
Deckies merged in from a prior deployment's saved state kept their
original host_uuid — which dispatch_decnet_config then 404'd on if that
host had since been decommissioned or re-enrolled at a different uuid.
Before round-robin assignment, drop any host_uuid that isn't in the live
swarm_hosts set so orphaned entries get reassigned instead of exploding
with 'unknown host_uuid'.
tar_working_tree (walks repo + gzips several MB) and detect_git_sha
(shells out) were called directly on the event loop, so /swarm-updates/push
and /swarm-updates/push-self froze every other request until the tarball
was ready. Wrap both in asyncio.to_thread.
POST /deckies/deploy now branches on DECNET_MODE + enrolled host presence:
when the caller is a master with at least one reachable swarm host, round-
robin host_uuids are assigned over new deckies and the config is dispatched
via AgentClient. Falls back to local docker-compose otherwise.
Extracts the dispatch loop from api_deploy_swarm into dispatch_decnet_config
so both endpoints share the same shard/dispatch/persist path. Adds
GET /system/deployment-mode for the UI to show 'will shard across N hosts'
vs 'will deploy locally' before the operator clicks deploy.
Stateless /api/v1/deckies/deploy previously instantiated DecnetConfig with
deckies=[] so it could merge entries later — but DecnetConfig.deckies is
min_length=1, so Pydantic raised and the global handler mapped it to 422
'Internal data consistency error'. Construct the config after
build_deckies_from_ini returns at least one DeckyConfig.
Rename log-file-path -> log-directory (maps to DECNET_LOG_DIRECTORY). Bundle
now ships three systemd units rendered with agent_name/master_host and installs
them into /etc/systemd/system/. Bootstrap replaces direct 'decnet X --daemon'
calls with systemctl enable --now. Each unit pins DECNET_SYSTEM_LOGS so agent,
forwarder, and deckies logs land at decnet.{agent,forwarder}.log and decnet.log
under /var/log/decnet.
Adds /api/v1/swarm-updates/{hosts,push,push-self,rollback} behind
require_admin. Reuses the existing UpdaterClient + tar_working_tree + the
per-host asyncio.gather pattern from api_deploy_swarm.py; tarball is
built exactly once per /push request and fanned out to every selected
worker. /hosts filters out decommissioned hosts and agent-only
enrollments (no updater bundle = not a target).
Connection drops during /update-self are treated as success — the
updater re-execs itself mid-response, so httpx always raises.
Pydantic models live in decnet/web/db/models.py (single source of
truth). 24 tests cover happy paths, rollback, transport failures,
include_self ordering (skip on rolled-back agents), validation, and
RBAC gating.
Adds a separate `decnet updater` daemon on each worker that owns the
agent's release directory and installs tarball pushes from the master
over mTLS. A normal `/update` never touches the updater itself, so the
updater is always a known-good rescuer if a bad agent push breaks
/health — the rotation is reversed and the agent restarted against the
previous release. `POST /update-self` handles updater upgrades
explicitly (no auto-rollback).
- decnet/updater/: executor, FastAPI app, uvicorn launcher
- decnet/swarm/updater_client.py, tar_tree.py: master-side push
- cli: `decnet updater`, `decnet swarm update [--host|--all]
[--include-self] [--dry-run]`, `--updater` on `swarm enroll`
- enrollment API issues a second cert (CN=updater@<host>) signed by the
same CA; SwarmHost records updater_cert_fingerprint
- tests: executor, app, CLI, tar tree, enroll-with-updater (37 new)
- wiki: Remote-Updates page + sidebar + SWARM-Mode cross-link
`swarm list` only shows enrolled workers — there was no way to see which
deckies are running and where. Adds GET /swarm/deckies on the controller
(joins DeckyShard with SwarmHost for name/address/status) plus the CLI
wrapper with --host / --state filters and --json.
_schemas.py was a local exception to the codebase convention. The rest
of the app keeps all API request/response DTOs in decnet/web/db/models.py
alongside UserResponse, DeployIniRequest, etc. — the swarm endpoints now
follow the same convention (SwarmEnrollRequest, SwarmHostView, etc).
Deletes decnet/web/router/swarm/_schemas.py.
Splits the three grouped router files into eight api_<verb>_<resource>.py
modules under decnet/web/router/swarm/ to match the convention used by
router/fleet/ and router/config/. Shared request/response models live in
_schemas.py. Keeps each endpoint easy to locate and modify without
stepping on siblings.
Adds decnet/web/swarm_api.py as an independent FastAPI app with routers
for host enrollment, deployment dispatch (sharding DecnetConfig across
enrolled workers via AgentClient), and active health probing. Runs as
its own uvicorn subprocess via 'decnet swarmctl', mirroring the isolation
pattern used by 'decnet api'. Also wires up 'decnet agent' CLI entry for
the worker side.
29 tests added under tests/swarm/test_swarm_api.py cover enrollment
(including bundle generation + duplicate rejection), host CRUD, sharding
correctness, non-swarm-mode rejection, teardown, and health probes with
a stubbed AgentClient.
Adds the server-side wiring and frontend UI to surface files captured
by the SSH honeypot for a given attacker.
- New repository method get_attacker_artifacts (abstract + SQLModel
impl) that joins the attacker's IP to `file_captured` log rows.
- New route GET /attackers/{uuid}/artifacts.
- New router /artifacts/{decky}/{service}/{stored_as} that streams a
quarantined file back to an authenticated viewer.
- AttackerDetail grows an ArtifactDrawer panel with per-file metadata
(sha256, size, orig_path) and a download action.
- ssh service fragment now sets NODE_NAME=decky_name so logs and the
host-side artifacts bind-mount share the same decky identifier.
Locust @task(2) hammers /auth/login in steady state on top of the
on_start burst. After caching the uuid-keyed user lookup and every
other read endpoint, login alone accounted for 47% of total
_execute at 500c/u — pure DB queueing on SELECT users WHERE
username=?.
5s TTL, positive hits only (misses bypass so a freshly-created
user can log in immediately). Password verify still runs against
the cached hash, so security is unchanged — the only staleness
window is: a changed password accepts the old password for up to
5s until invalidate_user_cache fires (it's called on every write).
The per-request SELECT users WHERE uuid=? in require_role was the
hidden tax behind every authed endpoint — it kept _execute at ~60%
across the profile even after the page caches landed. Even /health
(with its DB and Docker probes cached) was still 52% _execute from
this one query.
- dependencies.py: 10s TTL cache on get_user_by_uuid, well below JWT
expiry. invalidate_user_cache(uuid) is called on password change,
role change, and user delete.
- api_get_config.py: 5s TTL cache on the admin branch's list_users()
(previously fetched every /config call). Invalidated on user
create/update/delete.
- api_change_pass.py + api_manage_users.py: invalidation hooks on
all user-mutating endpoints.
Round-2 follow-up: profile at 500c/u showed _execute still dominating
the uncached read endpoints (/bounty 76%, /logs/histogram 73%,
/deckies 56%). Same router-level TTL pattern as /stats — 5s window,
asyncio.Lock to collapse concurrent calls into one DB hit.
- /bounty: cache default unfiltered page (limit=50, offset=0,
bounty_type=None, search=None). Filtered requests bypass.
- /logs/histogram: cache default (interval_minutes=15, no filters).
Filtered / non-default interval requests bypass.
- /deckies: cache full response (endpoint takes no params).
- /config: bump _STATE_TTL from 1.0 to 5.0 — admin writes are rare,
1s was too short for bursts to coalesce at high concurrency.
Every /stats call ran SELECT count(*) FROM logs + SELECT count(DISTINCT
attacker_ip) FROM logs; every /logs and /attackers call ran an
unfiltered count for the paginator. At 500 concurrent users these
serialize through aiosqlite's worker threads and dominate wall time.
Cache at the router layer (repo stays dialect-agnostic):
- /stats response: 5s TTL
- /logs total (only when no filters): 2s TTL
- /attackers total (only when no filters): 2s TTL
Filtered paths bypass the cache. Pattern reused from api_get_config
and api_get_health (asyncio.Lock + time.monotonic window + lazy lock).
Only database, docker, and ingestion_worker now count as critical
(→ 503 unhealthy). attacker/sniffer/collector failures drop overall
status to degraded (still 200) so the dashboard doesn't panic when a
non-essential worker isn't running.
A module-level asyncio.Lock binds to the loop it was first awaited on.
Under pytest-anyio (and xdist) each test spins up a new loop; any later
test that hit /health or /config would wait on a lock owned by a dead
loop and the whole worker would hang.
Create the lock on first use and drop it in the test-reset helpers so a
fresh loop always gets a fresh lock.
Under CPU saturation the sync docker.from_env()/ping() calls could miss
their socket timeout, cache _docker_healthy=False, and return 503 for
the full 5s TTL window. Both calls now run on a thread so the event
loop keeps serving other requests while Docker is being probed.
stdlib json was FastAPI's default. Every response body, every SSE frame,
and every add_log/state/payload write paid the stdlib encode cost.
- pyproject.toml: add orjson>=3.10 as a core dep.
- decnet/web/api.py: default_response_class=ORJSONResponse on the
FastAPI app, so every endpoint return goes through orjson without
touching call sites. Explicit JSONResponse sites in the validation
exception handlers migrated to ORJSONResponse for consistency.
- health endpoint's explicit JSONResponse → ORJSONResponse.
- SSE stream (api_stream_events.py): 6 json.dumps call sites →
orjson.dumps(...).decode() — the per-event frames that fire on every
sse tick.
- sqlmodel_repo.py: encode sites on the log-insert path switched to
orjson (fields, payload, state value). Parser sites (json.loads)
left as-is for now — not on the measured hot path.
Locust hit /health and /config on every @task(3), so each request was
firing repo.get_total_logs() and two repo.get_state() calls against
aiosqlite — filling the driver queue for data that changes on the order
of seconds, not milliseconds.
Both caches follow the shape already used by the existing Docker cache:
- asyncio.Lock with double-checked TTL so concurrent callers collapse
into one DB hit per 1s window.
- _reset_* helpers called from tests/api/conftest.py::setup_db so the
module-level cache can't leak across tests.
tests/test_health_config_cache.py asserts 50 concurrent callers
produce exactly 1 repo call, and the cache expires after TTL.
Creating a new docker.from_env() client per /health request opened a
fresh unix-socket connection each time. Under load that's wasteful and
hammers dockerd.
Keep a module-level client + last-check timestamp; actually ping every
5 seconds, return cached state in between. Reset helper provided for
tests.
- aiomysql → asyncmy on both sides of the URL/import (faster, maintained).
- Pool sizing now reads DECNET_DB_POOL_SIZE / MAX_OVERFLOW / RECYCLE /
PRE_PING for both SQLite and MySQL engines so stress runs can bump
without code edits.
- MySQL initialize() now wraps schema DDL in a GET_LOCK advisory lock so
concurrent uvicorn workers racing create_all() don't hit 'Table was
skipped since its definition is being modified by concurrent DDL'.
- sqlite & mysql repo get_log_histogram use the shared _session() helper
instead of session_factory() for consistency with the rest of the repo.
- SSE stream_events docstring updated to asyncmy.
verify_password / get_password_hash are CPU-bound and take ~250ms each
at rounds=12. Called directly from async endpoints, they stall every
other coroutine for that window — the single biggest single-worker
bottleneck on the login path.
Adds averify_password / ahash_password that wrap the sync versions in
asyncio.to_thread. Sync versions stay put because _ensure_admin_user and
tests still use them.
5 call sites updated: login, change-password, create-user, reset-password.
tests/test_auth_async.py asserts parallel averify runs concurrently (~1x
of a single verify, not 2x).
- Add 403 response to all RBAC-gated endpoints (schemathesis UndefinedStatusCode)
- Add 400 response to all endpoints accepting JSON bodies (malformed input)
- Add required 'title' field to schemathesis.toml for schemathesis 4.15+
- Add xdist_group markers to live tests with module-scoped fixtures to
prevent xdist from distributing them across workers (fixture isolation)
Extends tracing to every remaining module: all 23 API route handlers,
correlation engine, sniffer (fingerprint/p0f/syslog), prober (jarm/hassh/tcpfp),
profiler behavioral analysis, logging subsystem, engine, and mutator.
Bridges the ingester→SSE trace gap by persisting trace_id/span_id columns on
the logs table and creating OTEL span links in the SSE endpoint. Adds log-trace
correlation via _TraceContextFilter injecting otel_trace_id into Python LogRecords.
Includes development/docs/TRACING.md with full span reference (76 spans),
pipeline propagation architecture, quick start guide, and troubleshooting.
Cold start fetched all logs in one bulk query then processed them in a tight
synchronous loop with no yields, blocking the asyncio event loop for seconds
on datasets of 30K+ rows. This stalled every concurrent await — including the
SSE stream generator's initial DB calls — causing the dashboard to show
INITIALIZING SENSORS indefinitely.
Changes:
- Drop _cold_start() and get_all_logs_raw(); uninitialized state now runs the
same cursor loop as incremental, starting from last_log_id=0
- Yield to the event loop after every _BATCH_SIZE rows (asyncio.sleep(0))
- Add SSE keepalive comment as first yield so the connection flushes before
any DB work begins
- Add Cache-Control/X-Accel-Buffering headers to StreamingResponse
- Add @require_role() decorators to all GET/POST/PUT endpoints
- Centralize role-based access control per memory: RBAC null-role bug required server-side gating
- Admin (manage_admins), Editor (write ops), Viewer (read ops), Public endpoints
- Removes client-side role checks as per memory: server-side UI gating is mandatory
