notifications are now system level instead of user level.
To clarify the use events/notifications/email:
* eventlog - everything that is happenning on server
* notifications - specific important events (alerts)
* email - these are really urgent things that require immediate attention. this is for
the case where an admin does not visit the dashboard often. can also be alerts like
bad backup config or reboot required which are not events per-se.
Notes on notifications
* oom - notification only
* appUpdated - notification only
* cert renewal failure - only raise when < 10 days to go. also send email thereafter (todo).
* Backup failure - only if last 5 backups failed (todo).
* Box update - notification only. we anyway send newsletter.
* box update available - we raise a notification. no email.
* app update available - we already have update indicator on dashboard. so, no notification or email.
Alerts:
* backup config
* disk space
* mail status
* reboot
* box updated
* ubuntu update required
clone also clones the tags, labels and icon. this is not done for
restore or import since it's not clear if this is a good idea or not.
for example, if user had some custom tags and label set and then restores
to some old backup, is it expected to reset the labels and tags?
can verify stapling using openssl s_client -connect hostname:443 -status
status_request is RFC6066. there is also status_request_v2 (RFC6961) but this is
not implemented even in openssl libs yet
when multiple apptasks are scheduled, we end up with a sequence like this:
- task1 finishes
- task2 (uninstall) removes appdata directory
- sftp rebuild (from task1 finish)
- task2 fails because sftp rebuild created empty appdata directory
a fix is to delay the sftp rebuild until all tasks are done. of course,
the same race is still there, if a user initiated another task immediately
but this seems unlikely. if that happens often, we can further add a sftpRebuildInProgress
flag inside apptaskmanager.
