walnut
======

Small, light, and secure iot application framework.

```bash
curl https://daplie.me/install-scripts | bash

daplie-install-cloud
```

If the pretty url isn't working, for whatever reason, you also try the direct one

```bash
# curl https://git.daplie.com/Daplie/daplie-snippets/raw/master/install.sh | bash
# daplie-install-cloud
```

You could also, of course, try installing from the repository directly
(especially if you have goldilocks or some similar already installed)

```bash
mkdir -p /srv/walnut/
git clone git@git.daplie.com:Daplie/walnut.js.git /srv/walnut/core
pushd /srv/walnut/core
  git checkout v1
popd
bash /srv/walnut/core/install.sh
```

Features
------

* Works with Goldilocks for secure, Let's Encrypt maneged, https-only serving

* IOT Application server written in [Node.js](https://nodejs.org)
* Small memory footprint (for a node app)
* Secure
  * Uses JWT, not Cookies\*
  * HTTPS-only (checks for X-Forwarded-For)
  * AES, RSA, and ECDSA encryption and signing
  * Safe against CSRF, XSS, and SQL injection
  * Safe against Compression attacks
* Multi-Tentated Application Management
* Built-in OAuth2 & OAuth3 support

\*Cookies are used only for GETs and only where using a token would be less secure
such as images which would otherwise require the token to be passed into the img src.
They are also scoped such that CSRF attacks are not possible.

In Progress
-----------

* HTTPS Key Pinning
* Heroku (pending completion of PostgreSQL support)
* [GunDB](https://gundb.io) Support
* OpenID support

Structure
=====

Currently being tested with Ubuntu, Raspbian, and Debian on Digital Ocean, Raspberry Pi, and Heroku.

* `var` is a directory for database files and such

```

Implementation details
----------------

Initialization
--------------

needs to know its primary domain

```
POST https://api.<domain.tld>/api/com.daplie.walnut.init

{ "domain": "<domain.tld>" }
```

The following domains are required to point to WALNUT server

```
<domain.tld>
www.<domain.tld>

api.<domain.tld>
assets.<domain.tld>

cloud.<domain.tld>
api.cloud.<domain.tld>
```

Example `/etc/goldilocks/goldilocks.yml`:
```yml
tls:
  email: domains@example.com
  servernames:
    - example.com
    - www.example.com
    - api.example.com
    - assets.example.com
    - cloud.example.com
    - api.cloud.example.com

http:
  trust_proxy: true
  modules:
    - name: proxy
      domains:
        - '*'
      address: '127.0.0.1:3000'
```

Resetting the Initialization
----------------------------

Once you run the app the initialization files will appear in these locations

```
/srv/walnut/var/com.daplie.walnut.config.sqlite3
/srv/walnut/config/<domain.tld>/config.json
```

Deleting those files will rese

Accessing static apps
---------------------

Static apps are stored in `packages/pages`

```
# App ID as files with a list of packages they should load
# note that '#' is used in place of '/' because files and folders may not contain '/' in their names
/srv/walnut/packages/sites/<domain.tld#path>          # https://domain.tld/path
/srv/walnut/packages/sites/<domain.tld>               # https://domain.tld and https://domain.tld/foo match

# packages are directories with reverse dns name      # For the sake of debugging these packages can be accessed directly, without a site by
/srv/walnut/packages/pages/<tld.domain.package>       # matches apps.<domain.tld>/<package-name> and <domain.tld>/apps/<package-name>
```

Accessing REST APIs
-------------------

```
# Apps are granted access to use a package by listing it in the grants file by the name of the app url (domain.tld)
/srv/walnut/packages/client-api-grants/<domain.tld>   # matches api.<domain.tld>/api/ and contains a list of allowed REST APIs
                                                      # the REST apis themselves are submatched as api.<domain.tld>/api/<tld.domain.package>

# packages are directories with reverse dns name, a package.json, and an index.js
/srv/walnut/packages/rest/<tld.domain.package>
```

Example tree with contents:

Here `com.example.hello` is a package with a REST API and a static page
and `foobar.me` is a WALNUT-configured domain (smithfam.net, etc).


The packages:

```
/srv/walnut/packages/
├── api
├── pages
│   └── com.example.hello
│       └── index.html
│             '''

│               <body>
│                 <h1>com.example.hello</h1>

│               res.send({ message: 'hello' });
│             });

│             return deps.Promise.resolve();
│           };
