fix(certificates): generate instead of versioning - #4242

One private key was versioned in this public repository, exposed since 2018: the TLS key of the development server, and its copy in the HAProxy bundle. Both certificates had expired in 2019, which left the HTTPS development server unusable by any modern browser. Certificates are now generated where they are needed: * `scripts/gen-certs` produces the development pair in `.certs/`, using mkcert when available so that browsers accept it without warning, and falling back to openssl elsewhere. The bootstrap calls it, never regenerates an existing pair unless `--force-certs` is given, and skips the step on deploy. * The nginx and HAProxy images generate their own at build time. HAProxy needs a separate stage, its base image ships no openssl; that stage borrows the nginx image the stack already pulls. The tests need nothing: none of them reads a certificate file, and the E2E suite already sets `ignore_https_errors`. `scripts/server` now verifies the pair before starting anything. The check used to sit in the `invenio run` arguments, after the celery worker had been spawned, and the cleanup trap was registered later still, so a missing pair left an orphaned worker behind. Its `getopt` call is also gone. The result was never consumed, but it did reject unknown options on GNU getopt, so the `(*) break` of the parsing loop becomes an error instead of dropping that check. The one in the bootstrap stays for the same reason, and gains `force-certs`: without it GNU getopt rejects the new option. And it gains `--help`, like the other scripts. Its option loop moves ahead of the virtual environment check, so that the help answers outside one, as `setup --help` already does.

The counterpart of rero/sonar#1157 for rero-ils, minus everything SAML: no
shibboleth,samloreduidappears inrero_ils,testsorpyproject.toml, so the service provider key, the identity providercertificates and the SWITCHaai button have no equivalent here.
What was versioned
docker/nginx/test.keydocker/nginx/test.crtCN=localhostdocker/haproxy/haproxy_cert.pemCommitted on 2018-08-24 and public since. The two files carry one key, not
two: identical SHA-256 of the DER public key.
No rotation to plan for all that: self-signed,
CN=localhost, expired sevenyears ago, nothing ever had a reason to trust them. Deleting them does not
remove them from the history either, and does not need to.
The expiry had a visible consequence, though. Every browser refuses the
development server outright, and the CI never noticed: the E2E suite sets
ignore_https_errors: Trueintests/e2e/conftest.py, and the workflow pollswith
curl -sk.Generated where they are used
scripts/gen-certswrites.certs/dev.crtand.certs/dev.key, gitignored.It prefers mkcert, whose local authority makes browsers accept the
certificate without an interstitial — the point being to give back the browser
access the expired certificate had taken away. Where mkcert is missing, the CI
included, it falls back to
openssl. Measured on all three paths: mkcertgeneration, the openssl fallback with mkcert hidden from
PATH, and theskip-if-present, plus
--forceand an unrecognised option returning 1.The bootstrap calls it and skips on
--deployonly, not on--ci: the E2Eworkflow runs
bootstrap --ciand thenpoe server, which needs the pair.The
test (deploy)job passes both —bootstrap --ci --deploy E2E=yesincontinuous-integration-test.yml— so it does skip the step. That is correct:it goes on to
poe run_tests, which starts no server, and no test reads acertificate.
The two images build their own, and neither is a new dependency:
openssl, checked.haproxy:1.8has noopenssl, checked. It gets a build stagewhich borrows the nginx image the stack already pulls, rather than adding one
for a certificate.
Both were built and inspected:
CN=localhost, valid to December 2028,subjectAltNamecoveringlocalhostand127.0.0.1. The nginx key and theHAProxy bundle — which carries a key too, so it is a secret as much as the key
file is — are both at mode
600; the concatenation that builds the bundleproduced
644until an explicitchmod, and HAProxy still reads it at600.And both configurations accept the result:
haproxy -csaysConfiguration file is valid,nginx -tsays the test is successful.Nothing to change in the test suite: no test reads a certificate file.
scripts/server:--help, and three fixesThe pair used to be named inline in the
invenio runarguments, so the firstthing that noticed a missing certificate was the server itself — started after
the celery worker, with the cleanup trap registered later still. A missing pair
therefore left an orphaned worker behind. The check now runs first, and the trap
is set before anything starts. Verified: exit 1, no process left.
Its
getoptcall goes. The result was never consumed — the parsing loop reads$@directly — but the call did reject unknown options under GNU getopt, sodropping it silently would have turned a typo like
--no-workersinto a startwith the worker running. The loop's
(*) breakbecomes an error instead, whichkeeps the check without the dead construct. All four options were exercised:
-n,--no-worker,-l DEBUG,--loglevel DEBUG, and a rejected unknown.And the duplicated
set -e, written twice ten lines apart.It also gains a
--help, in the shapesetupuses. That required moving theoption loop ahead of the virtual environment check: the check sat first, so a
help added in place would have refused to print outside a venv — which is
exactly where someone reads it.
setupalready has the loop first. Verifiedwith
env -u VIRTUAL_ENV: help and exit 0 with--help, the venv errorunchanged without it.
The
getoptin the bootstrap stays, for the reason just given, and gainsforce-certs. That is not cosmetic: checked in a Debian container, GNU getoptrejects
--force-certswithout the declaration, while the BSD getopt of macOSignores the long options entirely and would have hidden it.
