This is mostly just "cargo fix --edition" + Cargo.toml changes.
There's one fix for upgrading to NLL in db/writer.rs:
Writer::previously_opened wouldn't build with NLL because of a
double-borrow the previous borrow checker somehow didn't catch.
Restructure to avoid it.
I'll put elective NLL changes in a following commit.
Some caveats:
* it doesn't record the peer IP yet, which makes it harder to verify
sessions are valid. This is a little annoying to do in hyper now
(see hyperium/hyper#1410). The direct peer might not be what we want
right now anyway because there's no TLS support yet (see #27). In
the meantime, the sane way to expose Moonfire NVR to the Internet is
via a proxy server, and recording the proxy's IP is not useful.
Maybe better to interpret a RFC 7239 Forwarded header (and/or
the older X-Forwarded-{For,Proto} headers).
* it doesn't ever use Secure (https-only) cookies, for a similar reason.
It's not safe to use even with a tls proxy until this is fixed.
* there's no "moonfire-nvr config" support for inspecting/invalidating
sessions yet.
* in debug builds, logging in is crazy slow. See libpasta/libpasta#9.
Some notes:
* I removed the Javascript "no-use-before-defined" lint, as some of
the functions form a cycle.
* Fixed#20 along the way. I needed to add support for properly
returning non-OK HTTP statuses to signal unauthorized and such.
* I removed the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header support, which was
at odds with the "SameSite=lax" in the cookie header. The "yarn
start" method for running a local proxy server accomplishes the same
thing as the Access-Control-Allow-Origin support in a more secure
manner.
There may be considerable lag between being fully written and being committed
when using the flush_if_sec feature. Additionally, this is a step toward
listing and viewing recordings before they're fully written. That's a
considerable delay: 60 to 120 seconds for the first recording of a run,
0 to 60 seconds for subsequent recordings.
These recordings aren't yet included in the information returned by
/api/?days=true. They probably should be, but small steps.
This improves the practicality of having many streams (including the doubling
of streams by having main + sub streams for each camera). With these tuned
properly, extra streams don't cause any extra write cycles in normal or error
cases. Consider the worst case in which each RTSP session immediately sends a
single frame and then fails. Moonfire retries every second, so this would
formerly cause one commit per second per stream. (flush_if_sec=0 preserves
this behavior.) Now the commits can be arbitrarily infrequent by setting
higher values of flush_if_sec.
WARNING: this isn't production-ready! I hacked up dir.rs to make tests pass
and "moonfire-nvr run" work in the best-case scenario, but it doesn't handle
errors gracefully. I've been debating what to do when writing a recording
fails. I considered "abandoning" the recording then either reusing or skipping
its id. (in the latter case, marking the file as garbage if it can't be
unlinked immediately). I think now there's no point in abandoning a recording.
If I can't write to that file, there's no reason to believe another will work
better. It's better to retry that recording forever, and perhaps put the whole
directory into an error state that stops recording until those writes go
through. I'm planning to redesign dir.rs to make this happen.
This allows each camera to have a main and a sub stream. Previously there was
a field in the schema for the sub stream's url, but it didn't do anything. Now
you can configure individual retention for main and sub streams. They show up
grouped in the UI.
No support for upgrading from schema version 1 yet.
The Javascript is pretty amateurish I'm sure but at least it's something to
iterate from. It's already much more pleasant for browsing through videos in
several ways:
* more responsive to load only a day at a time rather than 90+ days
* much easier to see the same time segment on several cameras
* more pleasant to have the videos load as a popup rather than a link
that blows away your position in an enormous list
* exposes the fancier .mp4 generation options: splitting at lengths
other than the default, trimming to an arbitrary start and end time,
including a subtitle track with timestamps.
There's a slight regression in functionality: I didn't match the former
top-level page which showed how much camera used of its disk allocation and
the total duration of video. This is exposed in the JSON API, so it shouldn't
be too hard to add back.
