Instead of running netstat/ss on local and remote systems, just bind
with port 0 to find an ephemeral port. This is much more robust,
simpler and a bit faster. Since the remote port is only known after
running cdc_fuse_fs, port forwarding has to be set up after running
cdc_fuse_fs.
Use sftp for deploying remote components instead of scp. sftp has the
advantage that it can also create directries, chmod files etc., so
that we can do everything in one call of sftp instead of mixing scp
and ssh calls.
The downside of sftp is that it can't switch to ~ resp. %userprofile%
for the remote side, and we have to assume that sftp starts in the
user's home dir. This is the default and works on my machines!
cdc_rsync and cdc_stream check the CDC_SFTP_COMMAND env var now and
accept --sftp-command flags. If they are not set, the corresponding
scp flag and env var is still used, with scp replaced by sftp. This is
most likely correct as sftp and scp usually reside in the same
directory and share largely identical parameters.
Adds a flag to set the SSH forwarding port or port range used for
'cdc_stream start-service' and 'cdc_rsync'.
If a single number is passed, e.g. --forward-port 12345, then this
port is used without checking availability of local and remote ports.
If the port is taken, this results in an error when trying to connect.
Note that this restricts the number of connections that stream can
make to one.
If a range is passed, e.g. --forward-port 45000-46000, the tools
search for available ports locally and remotely in that range. This is
more robust, but a bit slower due to the extra overhead.
Optimizes port_manager_win as it was very slow for a large port range.
It's still not optimal, but the time needed to scan 30k ports is
<< 1 seconds now.
Fixes#12
This CL removes the port arguments for both tools.
The port argument can also be specified via the ssh-command and
scp-command flags. In fact, if a port is specified by both port flags
and ssh/scp commands, they interfere with each other. For ssh, the one
specified in ssh-command wins. For scp, the one specified in
scp-command wins. To fix this, one would have to parse scp-command and
remove the port arg there. Or we could just remove the ssh-port arg.
This is what this CL does. Note that if you need a custom port, it's
very likely that you also have to define custom ssh and scp commands.
Starts the streaming service if it's not up and running. This required
adding the ability to run a detached process. By default, all child
processes are killed when the parent process exits. Since detached
child processes don't run with a console, they need to create sub-
processes with CREATE_NO_WINDOW since otherwise a new console pops up,
e.g. for every ssh command.
Polls for 20 seconds while the service starts up. For this purpose,
a BackgroundServiceClient is added. This will be reused in a future CL
by a new stop-service command to exit the service.
Also adds --service-port as additional argument to start-service.
