13
+ # mirror.py rsync-server plugin
14
+
15
+ An event plugin for [mirror.py](https://github.com/sparcs-kaist/mirror.py) that generates
16
+ `rsyncd.conf` and `rsyncd.secrets` from the live mirror package list plus a sidecar
17
+ `rsync.json` configuration file. The plugin regenerates both files automatically when the
18
+ mirror daemon starts (`MASTER.INIT.POST`) and whenever the package set changes via
19
+ `mirror config reload` (`MASTER.CONFIG_RELOAD.POST`).
20
+
21
+
22
+ ## How it works
23
+
24
+ The plugin listens on two mirror.py events:
25
+
26
+ - `MASTER.INIT.POST` — fires once when the master daemon finishes starting up.
27
+ - `MASTER.CONFIG_RELOAD.POST` — fires after `mirror config reload` has loaded a new
28
+ configuration. Until the mirror.py core ships this event, regeneration happens at
29
+ daemon start only; the listener signature accepts `(*args, **kwargs)` so it is
30
+ forward-compatible.
31
+
32
+ **File generation only.** The plugin writes `rsyncd.conf` and `rsyncd.secrets`; it does
33
+ not start, stop, or signal the rsyncd process. This is intentional: rsyncd re-reads
34
+ `rsyncd.conf` and the secrets file on every incoming client connection, so adding or
35
+ removing mirror modules takes effect immediately with no reload signal needed.
36
+
37
+ Writes are atomic (via a temporary file in the same directory followed by `os.replace`).
38
+ If the generated content is identical to what is already on disk, the file is not
39
+ rewritten. Regeneration runs under a module-level lock so concurrent event firings do not
40
+ race.
41
+
42
+ Packages with `settings.hidden: true` are completely excluded — they appear in neither
43
+ the public nor the private module list.
44
+
45
+
46
+ ## Installation
47
+
48
+ Install the plugin into the same Python environment as mirror.py:
49
+
50
+ ```
51
+ pip install -e .
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ Enable the plugin in mirror.py's `config.json`:
55
+
56
+ ```json
57
+ "plugins": { "rsync-server": { "enabled": true } }
58
+ ```
59
+
60
+ The plugin's own settings live in `rsync.json`, **not** in the `plugins` block of
61
+ `config.json`. See the Configuration section below.
62
+
63
+
64
+ ## Configuration
65
+
66
+ `rsync.json` must live in the same directory as mirror.py's `config.json` (default path:
67
+ `/etc/mirror/rsync.json`).
68
+
69
+ See [`rsync.json.example`](rsync.json.example) for a complete, realistic example.
70
+
71
+ All keys are optional and fall back to the defaults listed below.
72
+
73
+ | Key | Type | Default | Description |
74
+ |-----|------|---------|-------------|
75
+ | `rsyncd_conf` | string (absolute path) | `/etc/rsyncd.conf` | Destination path for the generated `rsyncd.conf`. |
76
+ | `secrets_file` | string (absolute path) | `/etc/rsyncd.secrets` | Destination path for the generated secrets file. Also emitted as `secrets file` in the global section of `rsyncd.conf`. |
77
+ | `users` | object | `{}` | Map of `username` to `password`. Written to the secrets file in insertion order. |
78
+ | `global` | object | `{}` | Raw rsyncd parameter passthrough. Keys and values are emitted in insertion order as `key = value` lines in the global section. Values may be strings, integers, or booleans (booleans render as `true`/`false`). The key `secrets file` is managed by the plugin and is rejected if placed here. |
79
+ | `private_modules.enabled` | boolean | `true` | When `false`, no `[.Name]` private module sections are generated. |
80
+ | `private_modules.auth_users` | string | `*` | Value written to `auth users` in every private module section. |
81
+ | `private_modules.list` | boolean | `false` | Value written to `list` in every private module section. |
82
+ | `private_modules.lock_file` | string (absolute path) | `/var/run/rsyncd-private.lock` | Value written to `lock file` in every private module section. The private modules share this lock file, giving them a separate max-connections accounting pool independent of the public modules. |
83
+
84
+ Unknown top-level keys and unknown `private_modules` keys are rejected with a `ValueError`
85
+ at load time (typo protection). Any validation failure leaves previously generated files
86
+ untouched.
87
+
88
+ **SECURITY NOTE:** `rsync.json` contains plaintext passwords. Restrict its permissions:
89
+
90
+ ```
91
+ chmod 600 /etc/mirror/rsync.json
92
+ ```
93
+
94
+ The plugin logs a warning if `rsync.json` is group- or other-readable. The generated
95
+ `rsyncd.secrets` file is always written with mode `0600`, as required by rsyncd's strict
96
+ modes.
97
+
98
+
99
+ ## Generated output
100
+
101
+ Given a package named `ArchLinux` with `src = rsync://rsync.archlinux.org/ftp_tier1` and
102
+ `dst = /mirror/ftp/ArchLinux`, and the global settings from `rsync.json.example`, the
103
+ plugin produces:
104
+
105
+ ```
106
+ # WARNING: DO NOT EDIT!! Generated by the mirror.py rsync-server plugin.
107
+ uid = rsync
108

109
+ use chroot = no

+ max connections = 20
111
+ motd file = /mirror/etc/motd
112
+ log file = /var/log/geoul/rsyncd/all.log
113
+ transfer logging = yes
114
+ log format = %o %a - %u [%t] "%P/%f" - %l
115
+ pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
116
+ exclude = .~tmp~
117
+
118
+ secrets file = /mirror/etc/rsyncd.secrets
119
+
120
+ [ArchLinux]
121
+ path = /mirror/ftp/ArchLinux
122
+ comment = from rsync://rsync.archlinux.org/ftp_tier1
123
+
124
+ [.ArchLinux]
125
+ path = /mirror/ftp/ArchLinux
126
+ comment = private module for ArchLinux without connection limits for authorized mirrors
127
+ auth users = *
128
+ list = false
129
+ lock file = /var/run/rsyncd-private.lock
130
+ ```
131
+
132
+ Each package produces a public/private module pair:
133
+
134
+ - `[Name]` is the public module. It is visible in `rsync host::` listings and carries a
135
+ `comment = from <upstream src>` line. The comment line is omitted when a package has
136
+ no upstream `src` (for example, locally synced packages).
137
+ - `[.Name]` is the authenticated, unlisted private twin. The leading dot hides it from
138
+ `rsync host::` listings. Access is gated by `auth users` and the secrets file. This
139
+ module has its own lock file, so its connection accounting is independent of the public
140
+ module's `max connections` limit.
141
+
142
+ Modules are sorted by package name. The static header contains no timestamp so that
143
+ identical content is detected and the file is not rewritten unnecessarily.
144
+
145
+ The secrets file (`rsyncd.secrets`) contains one `username:password` line per entry in
146
+ `users`, written in insertion order, with no header line.
147
+
148
+
149
+ ## Running rsyncd
150
+
151
+ Point rsyncd at the generated configuration file:
152
+
153
+ ```
154
+ rsync --daemon --config=/etc/rsyncd.conf
155
+ ```
156
+
157
+
158
+ ## Operational notes
159
+
160
+ **Changing users or rsync settings.** Edit `rsync.json`, then run:
161
+
162
+ ```
163
+ mirror config reload
164
+ ```
165
+
166
+ No daemon restart is needed for module or authentication changes. rsyncd picks up the
167
+ new `rsyncd.conf` and `rsyncd.secrets` on the next incoming client connection.
168
+
169
+ **Parameters that require an rsyncd restart.** Daemon-socket parameters such as `port`,
170
+ `address`, and `pid file` are read by rsyncd only at startup. Changing them in `rsync.json`
171
+ and running `mirror config reload` will update the generated file, but rsyncd itself must
172
+ be restarted for these to take effect. Module-level parameters (path, auth, comment, etc.)
173
+ apply per connection and do not require a restart.
174
+
175
+ **Private module connection accounting.** The private modules share the lock file
176
+ specified by `private_modules.lock_file`. This gives them a separate max-connections pool
177
+ rather than unlimited connections — the pool size is controlled by rsyncd's global
178
+ `max connections` parameter applied against that lock file independently from the public
179
+ modules' lock file.
180
+
181
+
182
+ ## Development
183
+
184
+ Set up a virtual environment and install the plugin alongside mirror.py:
185
+
186
+ ```
187
+ uv venv
188
+ uv pip install -e /path/to/mirror.py -e . pytest
189

+ The plugin's own settings live in `rsync.json`, **not** in the `plugins` block of
49
+ `config.json`. See the Configuration section below.
50
+
51
+
52
+ ## Configuration
53
+
54
+ `rsync.json` must live in the same directory as mirror.py's `config.json` (default path:
55
+ `/etc/mirror/rsync.json`).
56
+
57
+ See [`rsync.json.example`](rsync.json.example) for a complete, realistic example.
58
+
59
+ All keys are optional and fall back to the defaults listed below.
60
+
61
+ | Key | Type | Default | Description |
62
+ |-----|------|---------|-------------|
63
+ | `rsyncd_conf` | string (absolute path) | `/etc/rsyncd.conf` | Destination path for the generated `rsyncd.conf`. |
64
+ | `secrets_file` | string (absolute path) | `/etc/rsyncd.secrets` | Destination path for the generated secrets file. Also emitted as `secrets file` in the global section of `rsyncd.conf`. |
65
+ | `users` | object | `{}` | Map of `username` to `password`. Written to the secrets file in insertion order. |
66
+ | `global` | object | `{}` | Raw rsyncd parameter passthrough. Keys and values are emitted in insertion order as `key = value` lines in the global section. Values may be strings, integers, or booleans (booleans render as `true`/`false`). The key `secrets file` is managed by the plugin and is rejected if placed here. |
67
+ | `private_modules.enabled` | boolean | `true` | When `false`, no `[.Name]` private module sections are generated. |
68
+ | `private_modules.auth_users` | string | `*` | Value written to `auth users` in every private module section. |
69
+ | `private_modules.list` | boolean | `false` | Value written to `list` in every private module section. |
70
+ | `private_modules.lock_file` | string (absolute path) | `/var/run/rsyncd-private.lock` | Value written to `lock file` in every private module section. The private modules share this lock file, giving them a separate max-connections accounting pool independent of the public modules. |
71
+
72
+ Unknown top-level keys and unknown `private_modules` keys are rejected with a `ValueError`
73
+ at load time (typo protection). Any validation failure leaves previously generated files
74
+ untouched.
75
+
76
+ **SECURITY NOTE:** `rsync.json` contains plaintext passwords. Restrict its permissions:
77
+
78
+ ```
79
+ chmod 600 /etc/mirror/rsync.json
80
+ ```
81
+
82
+ The plugin logs a warning if `rsync.json` is group- or other-readable. The generated
83
+ `rsyncd.secrets` file is always written with mode `0600`, as required by rsyncd's strict
84
+ modes.
85
+
86
+
87
+ ## Generated output
88
+
89
+ Given a package named `ArchLinux` with `src = rsync://rsync.archlinux.org/ftp_tier1` and
90
+ `dst = /mirror/ftp/ArchLinux`, and the global settings from `rsync.json.example`, the
91
+ plugin produces:
92
+
93
+ ```
94
+ # WARNING: DO NOT EDIT!! Generated by the mirror.py rsync-server plugin.
95
+ uid = rsync
96
+ gid = nogroup
97
+ use chroot = no
98
+ max connections = 20
99
+ motd file = /mirror/etc/motd
100
+ log file = /var/log/geoul/rsyncd/all.log
101
+ transfer logging = yes
102
+ log format = %o %a - %u [%t] "%P/%f" - %l
103
+ pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
104
+ exclude = .~tmp~
105
+
106
+ secrets file = /mirror/etc/rsyncd.secrets
107
+
108
+ [ArchLinux]
109
+ path = /mirror/ftp/ArchLinux
110
+ comment = from rsync://rsync.archlinux.org/ftp_tier1
111
+
112
+ [.ArchLinux]
113
+ path = /mirror/ftp/ArchLinux
114
+ comment = private module for ArchLinux without connection limits for authorized mirrors
115
+ auth users = *
116
+ list = false
117
+ lock file = /var/run/rsyncd-private.lock
118
+ ```
119
+
120
+ Each package produces a public/private module pair:
121
+
122
+ - `[Name]` is the public module. It is visible in `rsync host::` listings and carries a
123
+ `comment = from <upstream src>` line. The comment line is omitted when a package has
124
+ no upstream `src` (for example, locally synced packages).
125
+ - `[.Name]` is the authenticated, unlisted private twin. The leading dot hides it from
126
+ `rsync host::` listings. Access is gated by `auth users` and the secrets file. This
127
+ module has its own lock file, so its connection accounting is independent of the public
128
+ module's `max connections` limit.
129
+
130
+ Modules are sorted by package name. The static header contains no timestamp so that
131
+ identical content is detected and the file is not rewritten unnecessarily.
132
+
133
+ The secrets file (`rsyncd.secrets`) contains one `username:password` line per entry in
134
+ `users`, written in insertion order, with no header line.
135
+
136
+
137
+ ## Running rsyncd
138
+
139
+ Point rsyncd at the generated configuration file:
140
+
141
+ ```
142
+ rsync --daemon --config=/etc/rsyncd.conf
143
+ ```
144
+
145
+
146
+ ## Operational notes
147
+
148
+ **Changing users or rsync settings.** Edit `rsync.json`, then run:
149
+
150
+ ```
151
+ mirror config reload
152
+ ```
153
+
154
+ No daemon restart is needed for module or authentication changes. rsyncd picks up the
155
+ new `rsyncd.conf` and `rsyncd.secrets` on the next incoming client connection.
156
+
157
+ **Parameters that require an rsyncd restart.** Daemon-socket parameters such as `port`,
158
+ `address`, and `pid file` are read by rsyncd only at startup. Changing them in `rsync.json`
159
+ and running `mirror config reload` will update the generated file, but rsyncd itself must
160
+ be restarted for these to take effect. Module-level parameters (path, auth, comment, etc.)
161
+ apply per connection and do not require a restart.
162
+
163
+ **Private module connection accounting.** The private modules share the lock file
164
+ specified by `private_modules.lock_file`. This gives them a separate max-connections pool
165
+ rather than unlimited connections — the pool size is controlled by rsyncd's global
166
+ `max connections` parameter applied against that lock file independently from the public
167
+ modules' lock file.
168
+
169
+
170
+ ## Development
