2016-02-22qemu-nbd: allow specifying image as a set of options argsDaniel P. Berrange1-1/+6
Currently qemu-nbd allows an image filename to be passed on the command line, but unless using the JSON format, it does not have a way to set any options except the format eg qemu-nbd https://127.0.0.1/images/centos7.iso qemu-nbd /home/berrange/demo.qcow2 This adds a --image-opts arg that indicates that the positional filename should be interpreted as a full option string, not just a filename. qemu-nbd --image-opts driver=https,url=https://127.0.0.1/images,sslverify=off qemu-nbd --image-opts driver=file,filename=/home/berrange/demo.qcow2 This flag is mutually exclusive with the '-f' flag.

2016-02-16nbd: enable use of TLS with qemu-nbd serverDaniel P. Berrange1-2/+7
This modifies the qemu-nbd program so that it is possible to request the use of TLS with the server. It simply adds a new command line option --tls-creds which is used to provide the ID of a QCryptoTLSCreds object previously created via the --object command line option. For example qemu-nbd --object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,endpoint=server,\ dir=/home/berrange/security/qemutls \ --tls-creds tls0 \ --exportname default TLS requires the new style NBD protocol, so if no export name is set (via --export-name), then we use the default NBD protocol export name "" TLS is only supported when using an IPv4/IPv6 socket listener. It is not possible to use with UNIX sockets, which includes when connecting the NBD server to a host device. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2016-02-16nbd: allow setting of an export name for qemu-nbd serverDaniel P. Berrange1-0/+3
The qemu-nbd server currently always uses the old style protocol since it never sets any export name. This is a problem because future TLS support will require use of the new style protocol negotiation. This adds "--exportname NAME" / "-x NAME" arguments to qemu-nbd which allow the user to set an explicit export name. When an export name is set the server will always use the new style NBD protocol.

2016-02-16qemu-nbd: add support for --object command line argDaniel P. Berrange1-0/+6
Allow creation of user creatable object types with qemu-nbd via a new --object command line arg. This will be used to supply passwords and/or encryption keys to the various block driver backends via the recently added 'secret' object type. # printf letmein > mypasswd.txt # qemu-nbd --object secret,id=sec0,file=mypasswd.txt \ ...other nbd args...

2016-02-09qemu-nbd: Fix unintended texi verbatim formattingSitsofe Wheeler1-29/+29
Indented lines in the texi meant the perlpod produced interpreted the paragraph as being verbatim (thus formatting codes were not interpreted). Fix this by un-indenting problem lines.

2013-04-15Add -f FMT / --format FMT arg to qemu-nbdDaniel P. Berrange1-0/+2
Currently the qemu-nbd program will auto-detect the format of any disk it is given. This behaviour is known to be insecure. For example, if qemu-nbd initially exposes a 'raw' file to an unprivileged app, and that app runs 'qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o backing_file=/etc/shadow /dev/nbd0' then the next time the app is started, the qemu-nbd will now detect it as a 'qcow2' file and expose /etc/shadow to the unprivileged app. The only way to avoid this is to explicitly tell qemu-nbd what disk format to use on the command line, completely disabling auto-detection. This patch adds a '-f' / '--format' arg for this purpose, mirroring what is already available via qemu-img and qemu commands. qemu-nbd --format raw -p 9000 evil.img will now always use raw, regardless of what format 'evil.img' looks like it contains Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
