OONI Probe Client Library and CLI

GoDoc Short Tests Status Coverage Status Go Report Card linux-debian-packages

The Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI) is a non-profit free software project that aims to empower decentralized efforts in documenting Internet censorship around the world.

This repository contains core OONI tools written in Go:

Every top-level directory in this repository contains an explanatory README file. You may also notice that some internal packages live under internal/engine while most others are top-level. This is part of a long-standing refactoring started when we merged https://github.com/ooni/probe-engine into this repository. We'll slowly ensure that all packages inside engine are moved out of it and inside internal.

Semantic versioning policy

The mobile library is a public package for technical reasons. Go mobile tools require a public package to build from. Yet, we don't consider API breakages happening in such a package to be sufficient to bump our major version number. For us, the mobile library is just a mean to implement OONI Probe Android and OONI Probe iOS. We'll only bump the major version number if we implement any set of breaking changes of the ./cmd/ooniprobe's CLI.

Build instructions

ooniprobe

Be sure you have golang >= 1.17 and a C compiler (Mingw-w64 for Windows). You can build using:

go build -v ./cmd/ooniprobe

This will generate a binary called ooniprobe in the current directory.

Android bindings

Make sure you have GNU make installed, then run:

./mk android

to build bindings for Android. (Add OONI_PSIPHON_TAGS="" if you cannot clone private repositories in the https://github.com/ooni namespace.)

The generated bindings are (manually) pushed to the Maven Central package repository. The instructions explaining how to integrate these bindings are published along with the release notes.

iOS bindings

Make sure you have GNU make installed, then run:

./mk ios

to build bindings for iOS. (Add OONI_PSIPHON_TAGS="" if you cannot clone private repositories in the https://github.com/ooni namespace.)

The generated bindings are (manually) added to GitHub releases. The instructions explaining how to integrate these bindings are published along with the release notes.

miniooni

Miniooni is the experimental OONI client used for research. Compile using:

go build -v ./internal/cmd/miniooni

This will generate a binary called miniooni in the current directory.

oohelperd

Oohelperd is the test helper server. Compile using:

go build -v ./internal/cmd/oohelperd

This will generate a binary called oohelperd in the current directory.

Specifications

Every nettest (aka experiment) implemented in this repository has a companion spec in the ooni/spec repository.

Contributing

Please, see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Updating dependencies

go get -u -v ./... && go mod tidy

Releasing

Create an issue according to the routine release template and perform any item inside the check-list.

We build releases using ./mk, which requires GNU make. Try the ./mk help|less command for detailed usage.
