This PR adds the ability of chaining the credentials provider,
such that restic as a tool attempts to honor credentials from
multiple different ways.
Currently supported mechanisms are
- static (user-provided)
- IAM profile (only valid inside configured ec2 instances)
- Standard AWS envs (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)
- Standard Minio envs (MINIO_ACCESS_KEY, MINIO_SECRET_KEY)

Windows, and to a lesser extent OS X, don't conform to XDG and have
their own preferred locations for caches.
On Windows, use %LOCALAPPDATA%/restic (i.e., ~/AppData/Local/restic). I
can't find authoritative documentation from Microsoft recommending
specifically which of %APPDATA%, %LOCALAPPDATA%, and %TEMP% should be
used for caches, but %LOCALAPPDATA% is where browsers store their
caches, so it seems like a good fit.
On OS X, use ~/Library/Caches/restic, which is recommended by the Apple
documentation. They do suggest using the application "bundle identifier"
as the base folder name, but restic doesn't have one, so I just used
"restic".
If the service account used with restic does not have the
storage.buckets.get permission (in the "Storage Admin" role), Create
cannot use Get to determine if the bucket is accessible.
Rather than always trying to create the bucket on Get error, gracefully
fall back to assuming the bucket is accessible. If it is, restic init
will complete successfully. If it is not, it will fail on a later call.
Here is what init looks like now in different cases.
Service account without "Storage Admin":
Bucket exists and is accessible (this is the case that didn't work
before):
$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/
enter password for new backend:
enter password again:
created restic backend c02e2edb67 at gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/

Bucket exists but is not accessible:
$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/
enter password for new backend:
enter password again:
create key in backend at gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/ failed:
service.Objects.Insert: googleapi: Error 403:

Bucket does not exist:
$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/
create backend at gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/ failed:
service.Buckets.Insert: googleapi: Error 403:

Service account with "Storage Admin":
Bucket exists and is accessible: Same
Bucket exists but is not accessible: Same. Previously this would fail
when Create tried to create the bucket. Now it fails when trying to
create the keys.
Bucket does not exist:
$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/
enter password for new backend:
enter password again:

This commit adds code to synchronize downloading files to the cache.
Before, requests that came in for files currently downloading would fail
because the file was not completed in the cache. Now, the code waits
until the download is completed.
Closes#1278
This commit adds a function to the cache which can decide to proactively
load the complete pack file and store it in the cache. This is helpful
for pack files containing only tree blobs, as it is likely that the same
file is accessed again in the future.
This commits adds rudimentary support for a cache directory, enabled by
default. The cache directory is created if it does not exist. The cache
is used if there's anything in it, newly created snapshot and index
files are written to the cache automatically.
In the manual, state which standard roles the service account must
have to work correctly, as well as the specific permissions required,
for creating even more specific custom roles.
This was a bit tricky: We start the ssh binary, but we want it to ignore
SIGINT. In contrast, restic itself should process SIGINT and clean up
properly. Before, we used `setsid()` to give the ssh process its own
process group, but that means it cannot prompt the user for a password
because the tty is gone.
So, now we're passing in two functions that ignore SIGINT just before
the ssh process is started and re-install it after start.
The code now bundles tree blobs and data blobs into different pack
files, so we'll end up with pack files that either only contain data or
trees. This is in preparation to adding a cache (#1040), because
tree-only pack files can easily be cached later on.
At the moment when two items to be saved have the same directory name,
restic only saves the first one to the repo. Let's say we have a
structure like this:
dir1
└── subdir
└── file
dir2
└── subdir
└── file
When restic is run on `dir1/subdir` and `dir2/subdir`, it will only save
the first `subdir`:
$ restic backup dir1/subdir dir2/subdir
[...]
$ restic ls -l latest
drwxr-xr-x 1000 100 0 2017-08-27 20:56:39 /subdir
-rw-r--r-- 1000 100 17 2017-08-27 20:56:39 /subdir/file
That's obviously a bad thing, caused by an early decision to strip the
full path to the files/dirs to save and only leave the last directory.
This commit partly resolves this by handling colliding names and
resolving the conflicts. Restic will now append a counter to the file
(`-123`) until the conflict is resolved. So in the example above, we'll
end up with the following structure:
$ restic ls -l latest
drwxr-xr-x 1000 100 0 2017-08-27 20:56:39 /subdir
-rw-r--r-- 1000 100 17 2017-08-27 20:56:39 /subdir/file
drwxr-xr-x 1000 100 0 2017-08-27 20:56:46 /subdir-1
-rw-r--r-- 1000 100 17 2017-08-27 20:56:46 /subdir-1/file
This partly addresses #549 and closes#1179.
At first I thought that the obvious correction would be to archive the
full path. But it turns out that collisions may still occur: Suppose you
have a file named `foo` in the current directory, and the parent directory
also contains a file `foo`. Archiving these with restic also causes a
collision, since restic strips the `../` from the first file:
$ restic backup ../foo foo
This also happens with `tar`, which does not handle the collision and
will happily archive two files called `foo`.
So, the best way forward is to handle name collisions and archive the
whole path. The latter will be tackled in a separate PR.
Match/ChildMatch accept a ** pattern which is not noted in the doc
string, nor do any of the docs or tests specify whether the match is
greedy (i.e., can 'foo/**/bar' match paths with additional intermediate
bar directories?).
Add a note to the doc string and add test cases for greedy matches.
* append operates on len, not cap (not a bug since len is set to cap above, but let's avoid the confusion)
* no need to extend ciphertext again to cap after we made it big enough
* make consistent use of ciphertext[:ivSize] vs iv[:]
* make all input problems errors and impossible/catastrophic cases panics
An exclude filter is basically a 'wildcard but foo', so even if a
childMayMatch, other children of a dir may not, therefore childMayMatch
does not matter, but we should not go down unless the dir is selected
for restore.
This improves restore performance by several orders of magniture by not
going through the whole tree recursively when we can anticipate that no
match will ever occur.
