Deploying `felis nano` to a real Rocky Linux 10 host surfaced four defects that
no local check could see. Fixed together because they all sit on the same path
from `curl|bash` to a running felis-nano.service.
* docker killed the nano install on EL10. `acquire_nano_binary` pulled in
docker purely to build the binary; on Rocky 10.2 the docker-ce el10 rpms
install but dockerd refuses to start, so the install died at
`systemctl enable --now docker`. nano needs one static binary, not an image,
so the docker dependency is gone: fetch_source -> install_go_toolchain
(pinned FELIS_GO_VERSION, default 1.26.4, amd64/arm64) -> build_nano_binary.
* the built binary could not be exec'd by systemd (203/EXEC). The Go linker
renames its output out of $TMPDIR, and a same-filesystem rename carries the
source SELinux label, so `go build -o /usr/local/bin/felis` produced a binary
labelled user_tmp_t rather than bin_t. root is unconfined and could run it by
hand, which is what made this look fine, but the DynamicUser service could
not. build_nano_binary now stages the output and installs it as a fresh file
so the policy type transition labels it bin_t, with restorecon as a belt.
* re-running the installer did not converge. `systemctl enable --now` is a
no-op on an already-active unit, so a rebuilt binary was installed while the
old process kept running. Now enable + restart.
* the Velocity wiring comment in cmd/felis/nano.go was wrong. authlib appends
/session/minecraft/hasJoined itself, so -Dmojang.sessionserver takes the base
URL only, as the installer has always printed.
Also bind to loopback by default. hasJoined is unauthenticated by protocol --
authlib speaks the vanilla sessionserver dialect and sends no token -- so a
public bind is an open auth relay: anyone can point their own proxy at it and
spend this host's egress IP on Mojang until Mojang rate-limits it and the
operator's own players stop getting in. It is not an identity bypass (a caller
still needs a serverId hash bound to their own server key, which the upstream
Yggdrasil validates), but it is someone else's traffic on your address.
FELIS_NANO_LISTEN and the -listen flag now default to 127.0.0.1:8081, which a
same-host Velocity reaches unchanged; serving an off-host proxy is an explicit
opt-in. configure_nano_firewall no longer opens a port for a loopback bind, and
summary_nano prints the real bind address plus the relay warning.
Verified on the target host: installs with no docker present, service active,
binary labelled bin_t, `ss` shows LISTEN 127.0.0.1:8081, an external request is
unreachable, and an in-host request returns 204 with the login logged.
BREAKING CHANGE: felis nano defaults to 127.0.0.1:8081 instead of 0.0.0.0:8081.
A Velocity proxy on another machine must now set FELIS_NANO_LISTEN (or -listen)
to a reachable address, and should allow that port only from the proxy's IP.
bootstrap.sh now asks up front whether to install the full Felis control
plane or only Felis-nano, and grows a parallel install path for the
nano-only case.
- prompt_install_mode() runs right after OS detection and reads /dev/tty
(so it works under `curl ... | sudo bash`) offering [1] Felis / [2]
Felis-nano, default full. FELIS_INSTALL_MODE=full|nano skips the prompt
for non-interactive runs; no tty falls back to full.
- main_nano() installs only what nano needs: the felis binary (reusing
the embedded-binary / docker-build acquisition), a template felis.toml
carrying a commented [[auth_source]] example (Mojang-only until edited),
a felis-nano.service unit running `felis nano -config ... -listen ...`
under DynamicUser hardening, and a firewalld port-open for the listen
port. None of the k3s / Postgres / migrate / bundle steps run.
- write_nano_config is idempotent (leaves any existing config untouched)
and its template is valid as-is. summary_nano prints the hasJoined
endpoint and the Velocity -Dmojang.sessionserver flag, offering the
127.0.0.1 form when the proxy is on the same host.
Verified on WSL: `bash -n` clean; the emitted template loads via
config.LoadNano and the exact systemd ExecStart command serves 204 on a
miss ("Mojang + 0 third-party source(s)"); a duplicate-tag config still
exits non-zero citing "unique". Not exercised: a full main_nano run,
systemd activation of the unit, and shellcheck (unavailable in this env).
bootstrap.sh auto-detects the host package manager (apt/dnf) and installs whatever is missing: Docker, k3s, and PostgreSQL. It builds and imports the felis image, opens pg_hba to the pod CIDR, runs migrations, and applies the rendered control-plane bundle, leaving Web disabled pending 'felis setup'. The Dockerfile builds the distroless felis image; deploy/crd holds the MinecraftServer CRD.
