Running a Publication Server

Important

It is highly recommended to use an RPKI publication server provided by your parent CA, if available. This relieves you of the responsibility to keep a public rsync and web server available at all times.

NIC.br, ARIN and APNIC provide publication as a service to their members.

Why run your own?

If your parent CA does not offer publication as a service, then you will need to run your own server. But another reason why you may want to run your own Publication Server is that it will allow you to delegate your CA’s resources to your own child CAs - e.g. for business units - and allow your children to publish at your central repository as well.

In this model you will need to set up your CA as a child under your parent, and set it up to publish at your local Publication Server:

Running your own publication server

Running a publication server for yourself and your children

Install

Krill comes with an embedded Publication Server. You can use this to offer an rfc:8181 Publication Protocol service to your own CA, as well as remote CAs - for example CAs for relations that you delegated Internet Number Resources to.

In principle you can enable the Publication Server on the same Krill instance that you use to operate your CAs. But, it may be better to use a separate instance for this purpose. This will allow more fine grained access control to either instance, and it makes it somewhat easier to parse the log files in case of issues.

Here we will document a setup using a separate Publication Server instance.

Configure

Your Publication Server can use a very minimal configuration file, similar in style to the one used by the Krill CA server. You should configure the following settings:

# Choose your own secret for the authorization token for the CLI and API
admin_token =

# If you installed krill using a package, then the default data directory
# and pid options are probably fine.
#
# If you installed krill by hand then you may wish to set the following:
data_dir = "/path/to/your/krillpubd/data/"
pid_file = "/path/to/your/krillpubd/krill.pid"

# Similarly, if you installed krill as a package it will use syslog, and
# this is probably desirable. If you want to use file logging you can
# configure this as follows, but note that there is no built-in log rotation
# in Krill.
log_type = "file"
log_file = "/path/to/your/krill.log"

# We recommend that you let the Krill daemon listen on localhost
# only, and use a proxy with proper HTTPS set up in front of it.
# However, you should configure the 'service_uri' property in your
# configuration file, so that your CAs will be able to connect to
# your server to publish. You should provide the 'base' hostname
# and optional port only. The actual URI that your CAs will connect
# to is: $service_uri/rfc8181
#
# NOTE: This can be a different base URI from the one used to
#       to serve the content of your repository - that URI is
#       is configured when you initialise your Publication Server
#       through the CLI.
service_uri = "https://krill-repo-server.example.com/"

# Disable the download of BGP information. Unless you are also using
# this server to host your CAs there is no need to keep this information
# in memory.
bgp_risdumps_enabled = false

If you want to review all options, you can download the default config file.

Proxy for Remote Publishers

Krill runs the RFC8181 Publication Server. Remote publishers, CAs which use your Publication Server, will need to connect to this under the /rfc8181 path under the service_uri that you specified in your server.

Make sure that you set up a proxy server such as NGINX, Apache, etc. which uses a valid HTTPS certificate, and which proxies /rfc8181 to Krill.

Note that you should not add any additional authentication mechanisms to this location. RFC 8181 uses cryptographically signed messages sent over HTTP and is secure. Note that verifying messages and signing responses can be computationally heavy, so if you know the source IP addresses of your publisher CAs, you may wish to restrict access based on this.

Proxy for CLI and API

If you are okay with only using the krillc CLI on the machine where you run your Publication Server, then your safest option is to not proxy access to the API.

However, if you need to use the CLI or API from other machines, then you should proxy access to the path ‘/api’ to Krill.

Configure the Repository

Note

We use the term Publication Server to describe the (Krill) server that CAs will connect to over the RFC 8181 protocol in order to publish their content. We use the term Repository Server to describe a server which makes this content available to RPKI Validators.

Synchronise Repository Data

To actually serve the published content to Rsync and RRDP clients you will need to run your own repository servers using tools such as Rsyncd and NGINX.

The Krill Publication Server will write the repository files under the data directory specified in its configuration file:

$DATA_DIR/repo/rsync/current/    Contains the files for Rsync
$DATA_DIR/repo/rrdp/             Contains the files for HTTPS (RRDP)

You can share the contents of these directories with your repository servers in various ways.

Krill Sync

The preferred approach is to synchronise the data written by the Publication Server to your Repository Servers in a background process. A simple rsync command in crontab would work most of the time, but unfortunately that approach will lead to regular issues where inconsistent, or incomplete, data will be served to RPKI validators.

However, we have developed a separate tool krill-sync which can be used for this purpose. Krill-sync essentially works by retrieving consistent RRDP deltas from your back-end Publication Server to ensure that it can write consistent sets of data to disk for use by your Repository Servers.

Shared Data

Another option is to use some kind of shared file system (NFS, clustered filesystem, network storage) where the Krill Publication Server can write, and your Repository Servers can read.

If you go down this path, then make sure that the entire $DATA_DIR/repo is on a share. In particular: don’t use a mount point at $DATA_DIR/repo/rsync/current as this directory is recreated by Krill whenever it publishes new data.

There can be issues with this approach with regards to availability and atomicity of updates to files on disk. The Krill Publication Server takes care to write files in the right order to avoid issues like Relying Parties retrieving a new notification.xml file before the snapshot or deltas are available. It will also write new files to temporary files and then rename them to avoid that partially written files are shown to users. However, dependent on the implementation details of the shared data these strategies may not work.

Rsync

The next step is to configure your rsync daemons to expose a ‘module’ for your files. Make sure that the Rsync URI including the ‘module’ matches the rsync_base in your Krill configuration file. Basic configuration can then be as simple as:

$ cat /etc/rsyncd.conf
uid = nobody
gid = nogroup
max connections = 50
socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE

[repo]
path = /var/lib/krill/data/repo/rsync/current/
comment = RPKI repository
read only = yes

Note: we recommend that you use a limit for ‘max connections’. Which value works best for you depends on your local situation, so you may want to monitor and tune this to your needs. Generally speaking though, it is better to limit the number of connections because RPKI validators will simply try to reconnect, rather then end up in a situation where your rsync server is unable to handle requests.

RRDP

For RRDP you will need to set up a web server of your choice and ensure that it has a valid TLS certificate. Next, you can make the files found under, or copied from $DATA_DIR/repo/rrdp available here.

Note

If desired, you can also use a CDN or your own caching infrastructure to reduce load. You could set it up to serve ‘stale’ content if your back-end system is unavailable to reduce the impact of short outages of your server. If you cache content make sure that you do not cache the main ‘notification.xml’ file (see more below) for longer than one minute (unless the back-end is unavailable). Other RRDP files will use unique names and can be cached for as long as you please.

Initialise Publication Server

You need to initialise your Publication Server using the base URIs as exposed by your Repository Servers. Use the following command, well, make sure the URIs reflect your setup of course:

Example CLI:

$ krillc pubserver server init --rrdp https://krillrepo.example.com/rrdp/ --rsync rsync://krillrepo.example.com/repo/

There is probably no reason to use the API directly for this initialisation process, except perhaps for automation of test environments:

 $ krillc pubserver server init --rrdp https://krillrepo.example.com/rrdp/ --rsync rsync://krillrepo.example.com/repo/ --api
 POST:
   https://krill-ui-dev.do.nlnetlabs.nl/api/v1/pubd/init
Headers:
  content-type: application/json
  Authorization: Bearer secret
Body:
{
  "rrdp_base_uri": "https://krillrepo.example.com/rrdp/",
  "rsync_jail": "rsync://krillrepo.example.com/repo/"
}

Provided that you also set up your Repository Servers, and that they are in sync, you can now verify that the set up works. Try to get the ‘notification.xml’ file under your base URI, e.g. https://krillrepo.example.com/rrdp/notification.xml. Verify that access to your rsync server works by doing:

$ rsync --list-only rsync://krillrepo.example.com/repo/

If you are satisfied that things work, you can proceed to add publishers for your CAs. If not, then this is the moment to clear your Publication Server instance so that it can be re-initialised:

$ krillc pubserver server clear

Or through the API:

$ krillc pubserver server clear --api
DELETE:
  https://localhost:3000/api/v1/pubd/init
Headers:
  Authorization: Bearer secret

Note that you can NOT clear a Publication Server instance if it has any active publishers. Those CAs would not be aware that they would need to use new URIs on their certificates.

If you should end up in this situation, then you could set up a new Publication Server instead, and then migrate your existing CAs to that server, and then remove your current server altogether. Alternatively, you can remove all publishers from your server first, then clear and re-inialise it, and then add your CAs again and migrate them to this newly initialised version.

In short: it is best to avoid this and ensure that your are happy with the URIs used before adding publishers.

Repository Stats

You can review Publication Server stats, including the number of files and space used by publishers.

Example CLI:

Manage Publishers

Add a Publisher

In order to add a CA as a publisher you will need to get its RFC 8183 Publisher Request XML. If you had no repository defined in your CA, you can get this XML from the UI, as described here.

The XML will include a so-called ‘handle’ - essentially the name that the CA likes to use for itself. This handle needs to be unique on the server side - we can’t have all CAs calling themselves mr-black. For this reason the CLI offers an optional argument --publisher that allows overriding the handle in the reqeust with a locally unique value - e.g. a UUID.

After adding a publisher the server will respond with the unique RFC 8183 Repository Response XML for this publisher. You can also retrieve this response again later (see below).

Example CLI:

$ krillc pubserver publishers add --publisher localname --request ./data/new-ca-publisher-request.xml
<repository_response xmlns="http://www.hactrn.net/uris/rpki/rpki-setup/" version="1" publisher_handle="localname" service_uri="https://localhost:3000/rfc8181/localname/" sia_base="rsync://localhost/repo/localname/" rrdp_notification_uri="https://localhost:3000/rrdp/notification.xml">

Remove a Publisher

You can remove a publisher altogether. Doing so will also remove all their current content.

Example CLI:

% krillc pubserver publishers remove --publisher publisher

Example API:

$ krillc pubserver publishers remove --publisher publisher --api
DELETE:
  https://localhost:3000/api/v1/pubd/publishers/publisher
Headers:
  Authorization: Bearer secret

If you try to remove an unknown publisher, you will get an error:

$ krillc pubserver publishers remove --publisher publisher --format json
Http client error: Status: 404 Not Found, ErrorResponse: {"label":"pub-unknown","msg":"Unknown publisher 'publisher'","args":{"publisher":"publisher"}}

Migrate existing Krill CAs

If you have an existing Krill CA that is currently publishing under another publication server, then you can migrate it to using a new repository.
