We had a few places where we had perhaps too much of an opinion on the permissions on created files and directories, sometimes fuled by a misconception about how permissions work in both Unix and Windows. Recap on the ground rules: - On all unixes, all file & directory creation (`Mkdir`, `MkdirAll`, `Create`, `WriteFile`, `Open`) has the given permission bits filtered via the user's umask. The proper permissions for us to use are in almost all cases 0o666 for files and 0o777 for directories, strange as that may look at the call site. - On Windows, there is no umask but in turn all of the permission bits except the user write bit are ignored. The absence of user write bit is converted into the read only attribute. This means that what is proper for Unix above is also proper for Windows. - We make an exception when creating files for certificate keys and the config / database directories, as those contain secrets we think should remain closed even if the user generally collaborates with other users on the system. (Also removal of a bugfixed copy of MkdirAll for Windows that hasn't been necessary for a few years.) --------- Signed-off-by: Jakob Borg <jakob@kastelo.net>
relaypoolsrv
This is the relay pool server for the syncthing project, which allows
community hosted relaysrv's to join
the public pool.
Servers that join the pool are then advertised to users of syncthing as
potential connection points for those who are unable to connect directly due
to NAT or firewall issues.
There is very little reason why you'd want to run this yourself, as
relaypoolsrv is just used for announcement and lookup of public relay
servers. If you are looking to set up a private or a public relay, please
check the documentation for
relaysrv, which also explains how
to join the default public pool.
See relaypoolsrv -help for configuration options.
