kopano-konnectd

thctlo

Debian 9, clean install, running the command manualy works fine but as root.

I forgot to mention.

kopano-konnectd:
Installed: 0.16.1-0+24.1

pulled yesterday from the downloads site.

I can install and run konnect just fine on a Debian 9 test installation. konnect is also 0.16.1-0+24.1

thctlo

and you run as kopano then you will see…

I suggest, in the installer of kopano-connectd add a separated folder in /etc/kopano/konnectd put there the needed files.

fbartels

well actually the binary runs as the user “konnect”.

who “owns” /etc/kopano ?
so konnect cant write there ? in my default install not, are you sure it works fine at your side, because here not…

fbartels

you can see who owns my /etc/kopano in my last reply.

I am not at a 100% with my systemd knowledge, but I would assume that the command in ExecStartPre is actually ran by the root user.

Sadly I am completely missing what you are trying to achieve. What command are you running and how?

Are you just seeing the commands in the systemd unit and try to run them by hand?

thctlo

its pretty simple what i do here.

apt install kopano-konnectd

And the result is above.

so tell me how did you do it without runing it manual : /usr/sbin/kopano-konnectd setup
Not that i do mind running it manual. but its a bug

fbartels

@thctlo said in kopano-konnectd:

apt install kopano-konnectd

that is absolutely the same that I did. The main difference may be that all our test systems are running in lxc and there systemd sometimes seems to behave a bit differently. the mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/etc/kopano/konnectkeys’: Read-only file system was providing a clue that I am currently investigating.

thctlo

ah great, im not in cointainers, it’s a setup for my production server here and konnectd looked interesting so i installed it.
if you need more info, just ask.

longsleep

Thanks for reporting - this is a problem with older systemds (which have unfixed https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/5308 which leads to the ExecStartPre command running in restricted (read-only) environment since ProtectSystem is wrongfully activated even when PermissionsStartOnly is given.

Not sure yet if we can fix this without sacrificing ProtectSystem on those systems. A manual workaround after installation is to run the setup script manually with the correct user.

USER=konnect /usr/sbin/kopano-konnectd setup

This will setup some ready to use keys and give permissions correctly so that an subsequent start from Konnect should pick them up properly.

After thinkin about it i might have a solution. We can move the setup call to postinst of the packaging which always runs unrestricted and does not rely on proper systemd behavior. @fbartels @thctlo what do you think about that?

thctlo

Yes, that look as a good workaround.

But if the folder is oblicated why not put the folder : /etc/kopano/konnectd in the file kopano-konnectd.install
Then its created at install.
If i may, I suggest a structure of :
/etc/kopano/konnect/rsa
/etc/kopano/konnect/secret

something like that, split up pubkeys and privkeys.
or
use the install command to setup the folder with :
install -d /etc/kopano/konnect -o konnect -g kopano -m 640

And now you can set the correct user:group on /etc/kopano/konnect and sub folders.
But thats what i think should be done.

Then running : /usr/sbin/kopano-konnectd setup wil work also.

longsleep

@thctlo said in kopano-konnectd:

But if the folder is oblicated why not put the folder : /etc/kopano/konnectd in the file kopano-konnectd.install

This would not make a difference. No folder is writable since systemd creates a new mount namespace which prevents that for security reasons (as defined by the restrictions in the service file).

Folder permissions and/or ownership is unrelated. Of coursethe actual service process needs to access those files but that is what setup is making sure (if the setup can write, since it is supposed to run unrestricted but is not on older systemds).

Regarding different folder structure in general well, it is simple to have a single folder for keys. Also note that konnect can use other types of keys (non rsa).

thctlo

Hai, ok so this is handeled by the setting : ProtectSystem=full and PermissionsStartOnly=true

You dont see these often, i’ll have a deeper look at this.
Thank you for the clarification.
