Installation

This project depends on glustercli-python. Install glustercli-python using,

git clone https://github.com/gluster/glustercli-python.git
cd glustercli-python
python setup.py install

Install Gluster REST APIs using,

git clone https://github.com/gluster/restapi.git
cd restapi
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-systemddir=/usr/lib/systemd/system/ \
    --with-glusterd-workdir=/var/lib/glusterd \
    --with-gluster-libexecdir=/usr/libexec/glusterfs
make
make install

For systems which are not using systemd can pass --with-initdir=/etc/init.d or --with-initdir=/etc/rc.d to install service files.

Setup

Gluster REST Servers can be run in one or more nodes of Cluster depending on the High availability requirement.

Enable and Start glusterrest service in all required peer nodes.

(Systemd)

systemctl enable glusterrestd
systemctl start glusterrestd

(SysVInit - CentOS 6)

chkconfig glusterrestd on
service glusterrestd start

(FreeBSD) Add the following in /etc/rc.conf

glusterrestd_enable="YES"

And start the glusterrestd using,

service glusterrestd start

Status

Status Can be checked using,

gluster-eventsapi status

Example output:

+-----------+-------------+-----------------------+
|    NODE   | NODE STATUS | GLUSTERRESTD STATUS   |
+-----------+-------------+-----------------------+
| localhost |          UP |                    UP |

+-----------+-------------+-----------------------+

Configuration

View all configurations using,

usage: gluster-restapi config-get [-h] [--name NAME]
 
optional arguments:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
  --name NAME  Config Name

Example output:

+--------------+-----------------------------+
|         NAME | VALUE                       |
+--------------+-----------------------------+
|        https | False                       |
|  num-workers | 2                           |
|          key | /etc/glusterrest/server.key |
| auth-enabled | True                        |
|         port | 8080                        |
|          csr | /etc/glusterrest/server.csr |
+--------------+-----------------------------+

To change any configuration,

usage: gluster-restapi config-set [-h] name value
 
positional arguments:
  name        Config Name
  value       Config Value
 
optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Example output,

+-----------+-------------+-------------+
|    NODE   | NODE STATUS | SYNC STATUS |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+
| localhost |          UP |          OK |
| node2     |          UP |          OK |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+

To Reset any configuration,

usage: gluster-restapi config-reset [-h] name
 
positional arguments:
  name        Config Name or all
 
optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Example output,

+-----------+-------------+-------------+
|    NODE   | NODE STATUS | SYNC STATUS |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+
| localhost |          UP |          OK |
| node2     |          UP |          OK |
+-----------+-------------+-------------+

Note: If any node status is not UP or sync status is not OK, make sure to run gluster-restapi sync from a peer node.

Add node to the Cluster

When a new node added to the cluster,

  • Enable and Start glusterrestd in the new node using the steps mentioned above
  • Run gluster-restapi sync command from a peer node other than the new node.

Applications

If Auth is enabled using, gluster-restapi config-set auth-enabled true then Application needs to be registered using gluster-restapi app-add command.

JSON Web Tokens are used for authenticating REST calls.

Add Application,

usage: gluster-restapi app-add [-h] appid appsecret
 
positional arguments:
  appid       Application ID
  appsecret   Application Secret
 
optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Reset Application Secret,

usage: gluster-restapi app-reset [-h] appid appsecret
 
positional arguments:
  appid       Application ID
  appsecret   Application Secret
 
optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Delete Application using,

usage: gluster-restapi app-del [-h] appid
 
positional arguments:
  appid       Application ID
 
optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Example,

gluster-restapi app-add mywebapp mywebappsecret

Authentication

For POST and PUT requests, the request body must be JSON, with the Content-Type header set to application/json

Authorization header must be included with every request. Auth header should have following details

Bearer <TOKEN>

Example,

Authorization: "Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9. \
    eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6ImdsdXN0ZXIiLCJhZG1 \
    pbiI6dHJ1ZX0.5jCURTbAZV0i5f_ux7PYFUzF-waCtYMM0LrF1Zl2hd0"

TOKEN is JSON Web Token generated using following claims

iss: Issuer(Application ID)
iat: Issued Time
exp: Expiry time
qsh: SHA256 hash of resource identifier(Ex: SHA256("GET\n/v1/volumes")

qsh is custom claim used to protect against URL tampering. JWT signature provides protection against man-in-the-middle modification of claims, but the same token can be used of multiple URIs. qsh is SHA256 hash calculated using HTTP Method, URI, Query params and POST/PUT/DELETE data. qsh claim usage here is similar to Atlassian project.

For example, to calculate qsh for GET /v1/volumes?status=1

string_to_hash = "GET\n/v1/volumes\nstatus=1"
qsh = sha256(string_to_hash)

To calculate qsh for POST /v1/volumes/gv1/start -d '{"force": true}'

post_data = '{"force": true}'  # Sort By Keys
string_to_hash = "POST\n/v1/volumes/gv1/start\n${post_data}"
qsh = sha256(string_to_hash)

Following example shows generation of JWT and making REST call(using Python)

import hashlib
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

import jwt
import requests

APP_ID = "mywebapp"
APP_SECRET = "mywebappsecret"
BASE_URL = "http://localhost:8080"
URL = "/v1/volumes"

qsh_data = "GET\n" + URL
qsh = hashlib.sha256(qsh_data).hexdigest()
claims = {
    "iss": APP_ID,
    "qsh": qsh,
    "iat": datetime.utcnow(),
    "exp": datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(minutes=5)
}
token = jwt.encode(claims, APP_SECRET, algorithm='HS256')
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer {0}".format(token)
}

volinfo = requests.get(BASE_URL + URL, headers=headers)
