getPublicIP read a third-party IP echo service's body whole and cached
whatever came back as the panel's address, so one misbehaving service
could make the panel inflate an endless response at startup, and an
error page became the address shown in every status sample.
The read is capped at 64 bytes and only a parsable IP is accepted;
anything else counts as unavailable. The GitHub release lookups are
capped as well.
The public IPv4/IPv6 lookup was cached for the life of the panel process, so
Overview kept showing an old address after the server's external IP changed,
and a failed first lookup pinned N/A until a restart. Addresses now refresh
every five minutes, a failed IPv4 lookup retries after a minute, failed IPv6
lookups back off 1/2/5/15 minutes, and a temporary failure keeps the last
known address. Status sampling still never waits on the lookup.
Most tests opened a throwaway panel DB with database.InitDB, which runs the
full AutoMigrate + seed on an empty file every time: ~230ms, and ~850ms under
-race because GORM's reflection-heavy migration is what the detector slows
most. internal/web/service does this in ~550 of its 830 tests, so the CI race
job spent ~10 of its ~14.6 minutes re-migrating empty databases.
internal/database/dbtest.InitDB migrates once per test process, then hands
each test its own copy of that file (~130ms under -race) and registers the
CloseDB cleanup. The copy then goes through InitDB like a panel restart, so
every test still starts from the state a fresh install has. Tests that reopen
an existing file, migrate a hand-built legacy DB or target Postgres keep
calling database.InitDB.
Locally under -race: internal/web/service 626s (last CI run) -> 114s,
internal/sub 246s -> 35s.
Adding a node fails right after that node's panel restarts. nodes/add
probes the node's /panel/api/server/status first, and that endpoint
returns whatever the @2s ticker last sampled - nil until the first tick
lands, so the master reads a healthy panel as unreachable and rejects it
with "Add node (remote returned success=false: )", an error whose
message is empty because the node answered success with a null obj.
The window is far wider than one tick: GetStatus resolved the public
IPv4/IPv6 addresses inline and held s.mu across every lookup, so a box
with no IPv6 route spent 3s per service - about 15s of nil status after
each restart, and the same stall on a fresh panel's first sample.
- status now answers from CurrentStatus, which samples on demand when
the ticker has not run yet instead of returning a null obj
- the public-IP lookups run in the background and outside s.mu, so a
status sample never waits on them
- probe tells "no status yet" apart from a genuine success=false, so the
master's error says something when it meets an older node
