1.1.22

New Features:

RIAPS-TIMESYNC

• chrony: add riaps-VirtualBox.local as server option
  • If the remote nodes don't have internet access, a local NTP source is needed.
    To keep configuration minimal, designate the VM hostname
    (riaps-VirtualBox.local) as an NTP server option. If internet access is lost,
    chronyd will default to riaps-VirtualBox.local.
  • This assumes RIAPS apps are only running when a VM is present. Additional
    configuration will be needed otherwise.

RIAPS-PYCOM

• Move away from architecture specific packages, go to riaps-pycom for nodes and riaps-pycom-dev for development machines (i.e. VMs) to allow installation on any machine architectures. Only one allowed on a machine.
• j(oin) command in ctrl cli

RIAPS-INTEGRATION

• Change VM creation from VMDK to VDI
• Add a manifest of packages that are in the upcoming release
• Remove any keys from the BBB and RPI nodes, user must use new connect_remote_nodes script
• Add connect_remote_nodes script to initiate communication with remote nodes
  • Automatically add remote nodes indicated when using "-H" to "/etc/riaps/riaps-hosts.conf"
  • Set default VM configuration to have an empty list of nodes in "/etc/riaps/riaps-hosts.conf"
  • Add check for existence of any nodes when expecting to use the "/etc/riaps/riaps-hosts.conf" file
• Add venv to release VM setup
• Add zerofree to VM to allow shrinking later
• Include tmux python package for log server
• Add nodered install function, but did not succeed in installing nodejs/npm on VM build
• Start adding BeaglePlay platform (not complete or tested)

Improvements:

RIAPS-TIMESYNC

• Setup pyproject.toml and prepare python riaps_ts to be installed in the future, it is currently a test interface only

RIAPS-PYCOM

• Move apparmor profile to use @multiarch variable to allow creating a package for all archs.
• Move from setup.py to pyproject.toml for package installation with entrypoints for the scripts
• Update riaps_fab for new package setup
• When securing the ssh keys of a system setup, default to turning off the remote node’s password access (requiring private key)
• Set node definition to an empty list for initial installation and control to match release VM hostname, instead of example values (examples available in comments)

RIAPS-INTEGRATION

• Documentation updates:
  • Update instructions to indicate that remote nodes need to access the internet to install RIAPS packages
  • Update documentation for users to setup a system, adding router setup information
  • Update VM Creation instructions
  • Removed Nano from supported node devices
• Install package additions or adjustments
  • Add vim to installs
  • Cross compile updates for openDHT
  • Add call to install spdlog
  • Update node and VM setup scripts to match currently desire upgrades
  • libasio-dev, libfmt-dev, libhttp-parser-dev only setup one architecture, remove the cross compile architecture package installs
  • Updates to VM and node creation scripts to update ssh handling
  • Use distro version of PyYAML and psutils
  • Update secure keys script to utilize directory/file variables

Fixes:

RIAPS-PYCOM

• Disco caching problems (causing invalid updates)
• Checks on dc group parameters
• Increase timeout on devicereq (to allow slow device startups)
• Remove older riaps logger instructions from the logging test and reference the source file readme section.
• Correct peerTimeout comparison
• Remove StandardOutput=syslog from riaps-rpyc-registry.service

RIAPS-INTEGRATION

• Fix release package build due to pycom package change
• Removing duplication in rpyc setup (using pypi version, which is the latest)
