Setting up a logger is something that pretty much every entrypoint needs to do, be it a test, a shared library embedded in another app or a standalone application. Thus, it makes sense to introduce a dedicated crate that allows us to bundle all the things together, how we want to do logging. This allows us to introduce convenience functions like `firezone_logging::test` which allow you to construct a logger for a test as a one-liner. Crucially though, introducing `firezone-logging` gives us a place to store a default log directive that silences very noisy crates. When looking into a problem, it is common to start by simply setting the log-filter to `debug`. Without further action, this floods the output with logs from crates like `netlink_proto` on Linux. It is very unlikely that those are the logs that you want to see. Without a preset filter, the only alternative here is to explicitly turn off the log filter for `netlink_proto` by typing something like `RUST_LOG=netlink_proto=off,debug`. Especially when debugging issues with customers, this is annoying. Log filters can be overridden, i.e. a 2nd filter that matches the exact same scope overrides a previous one. Thus, with this design it is still possible to activate certain logs at runtime, even if they have silenced by default. I'd expect `firezone-logging` to attract more functionality in the future. For example, we want to support re-loading of log-filters on other platforms. Additionally, where logs get stored could also be defined in this crate. --------- Signed-off-by: Thomas Eizinger <thomas@eizinger.io> Co-authored-by: Reactor Scram <ReactorScram@users.noreply.github.com>
gui-client
This crate houses a GUI client for Linux and Windows.
Setup (Ubuntu)
To compile natively for x86_64 Linux:
- Install rustup
- Install pnpm
sudo apt-get install at-spi2-core gcc libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev libssl-dev libgtk-3-dev libayatana-appindicator3-dev librsvg2-dev pkg-config xvfb
Setup (Windows)
To compile natively for x86_64 Windows:
- Install rustup
- Install pnpm
Recommended IDE Setup
(From Tauri's default README)
Building
Builds are best started from the frontend tool pnpm. This ensures typescript
and css is compiled properly before bundling the application.
See the package.json script for more details as to what's
going on under the hood.
# Builds a release exe
pnpm build
# Linux:
# The release exe and deb package are up in the workspace.
stat ../target/release/firezone
stat ../target/release/bundle/deb/*.deb
# Windows:
# The release exe and MSI installer should be up in the workspace.
# The exe can run without being installed
stat ../target/release/Firezone.exe
stat ../target/release/bundle/msi/Firezone_0.0.0_x64_en-US.msi
Running
From this dir:
# This will start the frontend tools in watch mode and then run `tauri dev`
pnpm dev
# You can call debug subcommands on the exe from this directory too
# e.g. this is equivalent to `cargo run -- debug hostname`
cargo tauri dev -- -- debug hostname
# The exe is up in the workspace
stat ../target/debug/Firezone.exe
The app's config and logs will be stored at
C:\Users\$USER\AppData\Local\dev.firezone.client.
Platform support
Ubuntu 20.04 and newer is supported.
Tauri says it should work on Windows 10, Version 1803 and up. Older versions may work if you manually install WebView2
x86_64 architecture is supported at this time. See
this issue for aarch64
support.
