build-tarball.sh only applied --mtime when SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH was
explicitly set, and did not sort tar entries. This produced different
tarballs across builds due to varying timestamps and filesystem
ordering. Default SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to the git commit timestamp and
add --sort=name for deterministic output.
Pin Rust toolchain to 1.94.0 via rust-toolchain.toml for deterministic
compiler output across environments. Set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH from git
commit timestamp in CI workflows and packaging scripts to normalize
embedded timestamps.
Make packaging archives reproducible: pass --mtime=@$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
to tar in .deb, .ipk, and systemd tarball builds. Normalize ownership
to root:root in systemd tarballs. Pin cargo-zigbuild to 0.19.8 for
cross-compilation stability.
Add SHA-256 hash output to CI build and OpenWrt packaging workflows
for binary verification.
Add a HostMap that resolves human-readable hostnames to npubs,
enabling `gateway.fips` instead of the full `npub1...xyz.fips`.
Two sources populate the map: peer `alias` fields from the YAML
config and an operator-maintained hosts file at /etc/fips/hosts.
The DNS responder auto-reloads the hosts file on each request by
checking the file modification time, so operators can update
mappings without restarting the daemon.
- New src/upper/hosts.rs: HostMap, HostMapReloader, hostname
validation, hosts file parser with auto-reload on mtime change
- DNS resolver checks host map before falling back to direct npub
- Node uses host map for peer display names
- Default hosts file added to both .deb and tarball packaging
- 26 new tests (789 total)
Packaging directory structure:
- packaging/common/ — shared config (fips.yaml) used by all formats
- packaging/systemd/ — systemd-specific installer and service units
Systemd packaging includes:
- build-tarball.sh: builds release binaries and creates a self-contained
install tarball with stripped binaries
- fips.service: systemd unit running the daemon with security hardening
- fips-dns.service: oneshot unit configuring resolvectl to route .fips
domain queries to the FIPS DNS shim on 127.0.0.1:5354
- install.sh: deploys binaries to /usr/local/bin, installs systemd units,
creates fips group for non-root control socket access
- uninstall.sh: removes service and binaries, optional --purge for
config and identity key files
- README.install.md: installation and configuration guide
Default config enables UDP (2121), TCP inbound (8443), TUN, and DNS
resolver. Identity is ephemeral by default for privacy; operators can
uncomment persistent: true to maintain a stable npub for static peer
publishing. Ethernet transport is commented out for per-node setup.
