From 8e993ea901aefc066e780a752f39fee8e610fc07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: rcourtman Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 10:26:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add critical safety guards to temperature proxy installation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit After implementing the health gate, added comprehensive safety measures to prevent the health checks themselves from becoming a new failure point. **Problem**: Previous commit added strict health checks but could fail in edge cases: - `pct exec` could hang if container stopped/frozen → installer deadlocks - systemctl/journalctl might not be available → diagnostics fail - Container access check could fail for transient reasons - pvecm error detection was fragile (string matching specific messages) **Solutions Implemented**: 1. **Timeouts on All External Commands** (install.sh:1596,1618) - `timeout 5` on systemctl checks - `timeout 10` on pct exec checks - Prevents installer from hanging indefinitely 2. **Graceful Degradation** (install.sh:1602-1630) - Check for systemctl/pct availability before using - Warn if tools missing instead of failing - Container check is warning-only (may be transient) - Only fail on critical checks: service running, socket exists 3. **Bypass Flag Support** (install.sh:1589-1594) - Set `PULSE_SKIP_HEALTH_CHECKS=1` to bypass all checks - Documented in error messages for troubleshooting - Allows installation in unsupported environments 4. **Flexible Diagnostics** (install.sh:1640-1647) - Use journalctl if available, fallback to syslog - Conditional tool-specific advice 5. **Broader Error Detection** (ssh.go:582-628) - List of 14 standalone indicators (vs 5 hardcoded checks) - Case-insensitive matching for localization tolerance - Permissive strategy: treat any known pattern as standalone - Handles variations: "no cluster", "IPC", "connection refused", etc. 6. **Enhanced Test Coverage** (ssh_test.go:+35 lines) - Added 3 new test cases (variation patterns) - Tests now cover 8 standalone scenarios + 3 negative cases - All tests pass (11/11) **Impact**: - Health gate won't block installation in edge cases - Better user experience on non-standard setups - Standalone detection handles more error message variations - Clear escape hatch for troubleshooting (bypass flag) **Confidence Level**: High - All tests pass (bash syntax + Go unit tests) - Graceful fallbacks for every external command - Only critical checks are hard failures - Warnings guide users through validation issues Related to #571 --- cmd/pulse-sensor-proxy/ssh.go | 56 +++++++++++++++----- cmd/pulse-sensor-proxy/ssh_test.go | 35 ++++++++++--- install.sh | 84 +++++++++++++++++++++++------- 3 files changed, 136 insertions(+), 39 deletions(-) diff --git a/cmd/pulse-sensor-proxy/ssh.go b/cmd/pulse-sensor-proxy/ssh.go index 2730f7a..11c3c58 100644 --- a/cmd/pulse-sensor-proxy/ssh.go +++ b/cmd/pulse-sensor-proxy/ssh.go @@ -579,23 +579,51 @@ func discoverClusterNodes() ([]string, error) { stdoutStr := out.String() combinedOutput := stderrStr + stdoutStr - // Check if this is a standalone node or LXC container - // - "does not exist" or "not part of a cluster": standalone node - // - "ipcc_send_rec": running in LXC container without corosync access - // - "Unknown error -1": LXC container corosync communication failure - // - "Unable to load access control list": Permission/access issues in containers - // Note: Some Proxmox versions write these messages to stdout, others to stderr - if strings.Contains(combinedOutput, "does not exist") || - strings.Contains(combinedOutput, "not part of a cluster") || - strings.Contains(combinedOutput, "ipcc_send_rec") || - strings.Contains(combinedOutput, "Unknown error -1") || - strings.Contains(combinedOutput, "Unable to load access control list") { + // Broadly detect standalone/container scenarios by checking for known patterns + // This list comes from real user reports and should handle localization/version differences + // + // Common patterns that indicate standalone/container operation: + // - Configuration missing: "does not exist", "not found", "no such file" + // - Cluster state: "not part of a cluster", "no cluster", "standalone" + // - IPC failures: "ipcc_send_rec", "IPC", "communication failed" + // - Permission/access: "Unknown error -1", "Unable to load", "access denied", "permission denied" + // + // Strategy: Be permissive - if pvecm fails with any of these common patterns, + // assume standalone and fall back to localhost.
