Thomas Eizinger be250f1e00 refactor(connlib): repurpose connlib-shared as connlib-model (#6919)
The `connlib-shared` crate has become a bit of a dependency magnet
without a clear purpose. It hosts utilities like `get_user_agent`,
messages for the client and gateway to communicate with the portal and
domain types like `ResourceId`.

To create a better dependency structure in our workspace, we repurpose
`connlib-shared` as a `connlib-model` crate. Its purpose is to host
domain-specific model types that multiple crates may want to use. For
that purpose, we rename the `callbacks::ResourceDescription` type to
`ResourceView`, designating that this is a _view_ onto a resource as
seen by `connlib`. The message types which currently double up as
connlib-internal model thus become an implementation detail of
`firezone-tunnel` and shouldn't be used for anything else.

gateway

This crate houses the Firezone gateway.

Building

You can build the gateway using: cargo build --release --bin firezone-gateway

You should then find a binary in target/release/firezone-gateway.

Running

The Firezone Gateway supports Linux only. To run the Gateway binary on your Linux host:

  1. Generate a new Gateway token from the "Gateways" section of the admin portal and save it in your secrets manager.
  2. Ensure the FIREZONE_TOKEN=<gateway_token> environment variable is set securely in your Gateway's shell environment. The Gateway requires this variable at startup.
  3. Set FIREZONE_ID to a unique string to identify this gateway in the portal, e.g. export FIREZONE_ID=$(uuidgen). The Gateway requires this variable at startup.
  4. Now, you can start the Gateway with:
firezone-gateway

If you're running as a non-root user, you'll need the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to open /dev/net/tun. You can add this to the gateway binary with:

sudo setcap 'cap_net_admin+eip' /path/to/firezone-gateway

Ports

The gateway requires no open ports. Connections automatically traverse NAT with STUN/TURN via the relay.
