Changelog

RMB

Reliable message bus relay is a secure communication panel that allows bots to communicate together in a chat like way. It makes it very easy to host a service or a set of functions to be used by anyone, even if your service is running behind NAT.

  • Guarantee authenticity of the messages. You are always sure that the received message is from whoever is pretending to be
  • End to End encryption
  • Support for 3rd party hosted relays. Anyone can host a relay and people can use it safely since there is no way messages can be inspected while using e2e. That's similar to home servers by matrix

See specification for more information.

Public relay addresses hosted by Threefold:

  • dev: wss://relay.dev.grid.tf
  • qa: wss://relay.qa.grid.tf
  • test: wss://relay.test.grid.tf (will be deployed when 3.9 goes live)
  • main: wss://relay.grid.tf (will be deployed when 3.9 goes live)

Impacted clients:

Twins

We changed the twin objects on tfchain and removed to notion of an ip. We added 2 fields (relay and pk).

  • Relay: an RMB relay address which a client can connect to (see RMB changes)
  • Pk: a public key for an encryption key which can be used to encrypt messages on the public relay, if not set, traffic will be un-encrypted.

Impacted clients:

Terraform

Terraform also uses the new RMB relay functionality, see latest terraform release.

Gridclient

The client interface has been change to be easier to initialize. No need anymore to define RMB client to create an instance from it. see the new interface here

Impacted projects:

Tfchain graphql

Graphql 2.9.2 requires multiple steps to upgrade.

  1. restart the ingester from scratch using the new config
  2. restart the processor from scratch using the new code

Make sure all data is wiped before restarting both services

Famerbot

The farmerbot is a new component that farmer can setup to enable Wake on lan on their farm. See docs for a detailed guide how to setup it up.
