This article describes building an internal FreeBSD Update Server. The freebsd-update-server software is written by Colin Percival , current Security Officer of FreeBSD. For users that think it is convenient to update their systems against an official update server, building their own FreeBSD Update Server may help to extend its functionality by supporting manually-tweaked FreeBSD releases or by providing a local mirror that will allow faster updates for a number of machines.

2 Introduction

Experienced users or administrators are often responsible for several machines or environments. They understand the difficult demands and challenges of maintaining such an infrastructure. Running a FreeBSD Update Server makes it easier to deploy security and software patches to selected test machines before rolling them out to production. It also means a number of systems can be updated from the local network rather than a potentially slower Internet connection. This article outlines the steps involved in creating an internal FreeBSD Update Server.


3 Prerequisites

To build an internal FreeBSD Update Server some requirements should be met.


4 Configuration: Installation & Setup

Download the freebsd-update-server software as a tar archive, or use csup(1) and the projects-all collection.

Update scripts/build.conf appropriately. It is sourced during all build operations.

Here is the default build.conf, which should be modified to suit your environment.


# Main configuration file for FreeBSD Update builds.  The
# release-specific configuration data is lower down in
# the scripts tree.

# Location from which to fetch releases
export FTP=ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases(1)

# Host platform
export HOSTPLATFORM=`uname -m`

# Host name to use inside jails
export BUILDHOSTNAME=${HOSTPLATFORM}-builder.daemonology.net(2)

# Location of SSH key
export SSHKEY=/root/.ssh/id_dsa(3)

# SSH account into which files are uploaded
MASTERACCT=builder@wadham.daemonology.net(4)

# Directory into which files are uploaded
MASTERDIR=update-master.freebsd.org(5)

Parameters for consideration would be:

(1)
This is the location where ISO images are downloaded from (by the fetchiso() subroutine of scripts/build.subr). The location configured is not limited to FTP URIs. Any URI scheme supported by standard fetch(1) utility should work fine.

Customizations to the fetchiso() code can be installed by copying the default build.subr script to the release and architecture-specific area at scripts/RELEASE/ARCHITECTURE/build.subr and applying local changes.

(2)
The name of the build host. This information will be displayed on updated systems when issuing:
% uname -v
(3)
The SSH key for uploading files to the update server. A key pair can be created by typing ssh-keygen -t dsa. This parameter is optional; standard password authentication will be used as a fallback authentication method when SSHKEY is not defined.

The ssh-keygen(1) manual page has more detailed information about SSH and the appropriate steps for creating and using one.

(4)
Account for uploading files to the update server.
(5)
Directory on the update server where files are uploaded to.

The default build.conf file shipped with the freebsd-update-server sources is suitable for building i386 releases of FreeBSD. As an example of building an update server for other architectures, the following steps outline the configuration changes needed for amd64:

  1. Create a build environment for amd64:

    % mkdir -p /usr/local/freebsd-update-server/scripts/7.2-RELEASE/amd64
    
  2. Install a build.conf file in the newly created build directory. The build configuration options for FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE on amd64 should be similar to:

    # SHA256 hash of RELEASE disc1.iso image.
    export RELH=1ea1f6f652d7c5f5eab7ef9f8edbed50cb664b08ed761850f95f48e86cc71ef5(1)
    
    # Components of the world, source, and kernels
    export WORLDPARTS="base catpages dict doc games info manpages proflibs lib32"
    export SOURCEPARTS="base bin contrib crypto etc games gnu include krb5  \
                    lib libexec release rescue sbin secure share sys tools  \
                    ubin usbin cddl"
    export KERNELPARTS="generic"
    
    # EOL date
    export EOL=1275289200(2)
    
    (1)
    The sha256(1) hash key for the desired release, is published within the respective release announcement.
    (2)
    To generate the "End of Life" number for build.conf, refer to the "Estimated EOL" posted on the FreeBSD Security Website. The value of EOL can be derived from the date listed on the web site, using the date(1) utility, for example:
    % date -j -f '%Y%m%d-%H%M%S' '20090401-000000' '+%s'
    

5 Building Update Code

The first step is to run scripts/make.sh. This will build some binaries, create directories, and generate an RSA signing key used for approving builds. In this step, a passphrase will have to be supplied for the final creation of the signing key.

# sh scripts/make.sh
cc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe   findstamps.c  -o findstamps
findstamps.c: In function 'usage':
findstamps.c:45: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'exit'
cc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe   unstamp.c  -o unstamp
install findstamps ../bin
install unstamp ../bin
rm -f findstamps unstamp
Generating RSA private key, 4096 bit long modulus

Encrypting signing key for root
enter aes-256-cbc encryption password:
Verifying - enter aes-256-cbc encryption password:

Note: Keep a note of the generated key fingerprint. This value is required in /etc/freebsd-update.conf for binary updates.

At this point, we are ready to stage a build.

# cd /usr/local/freebsd-update-server

Then the build of the world is performed again, with world patches. A more detailed explanation may be found in scripts/build.subr.

Warning: During this second build cycle, the network time protocol daemon, ntpd(8), is turned off. Per Colin Percival , current Security Officer of FreeBSD, "the freebsd-update-server build code needs to identify timestamps which are stored in files so that they can be ignored when comparing builds to determine which files need to be updated. This timestamp-finding works by doing two builds 400 days apart and comparing the results."

review the list of build stamps printed above to confirm that
they look sensible, then run
# sh -e approve.sh amd64 7.2-RELEASE
to sign the release.

Approve the build if everything is correct. More information on determining this can be found in the distributed source file named USAGE. Execute scripts/approve.sh, as directed. This will sign the release, and move components into a staging area suitable for uploading.

After the approval process is complete, the upload procedure may be started.

# cd /usr/local/freebsd-update-server
# sh scripts/upload.sh amd64 7.2-RELEASE

Note: In the event update code needs to be re-uploaded, this may be done by changing to the public distributions directory for the target release and updating attributes of the uploaded file.

# cd /usr/local/freebsd-update-server/pub/7.2-RELEASE/amd64
# touch -t 200801010101.01 uploaded

The uploaded files will need to be in the document root of the webserver in order for updates to be distributed. The exact configuration will vary depending on the web server used. For the Apache web server, please refer to the Configuration of Apache servers section in the Handbook.

Update client's KeyPrint and ServerName in /etc/freebsd-update.conf, and perform updates as instructed in the FreeBSD Update section of the Handbook.

Important: In order for FreeBSD Update Server to work properly, updates for both the current release and the release one wants to upgrade to need to be built. This is necessary for determining the differences of files between releases. For example, when upgrading a FreeBSD system from 7.1-RELEASE to 7.2-RELEASE, updates will need to be built and uploaded to your distribution server for both versions.

For reference, the entire run of init.sh is attached.


6 Building a Patch

Every time a security advisory or security notice is announced, a patch update can be built.

For this example, 7.1-RELEASE will be used.

A couple of assumptions are made for a different release build:

Create the patch directory of the respective release under /usr/local/freebsd-update-server/patches/.

% mkdir -p /usr/local/freebsd-update-server/patches/7.1-RELEASE/
% cd /usr/local/freebsd-update-server/patches/7.1-RELEASE

As an example, take the patch for named(8). Read the advisory, and grab the necessary file from FreeBSD Security Advisories. More information on interpreting the advisory, can be found in the FreeBSD Handbook.

In the security brief, this advisory is called SA-09:12.bind. After downloading the file, it is required to rename the file to an appropriate patch level. It is suggested to keep this consistent with official FreeBSD patch levels, but its name may be freely chosen. For this build, let us follow the currently established practice of FreeBSD and call this p7. Rename the file:

% cd /usr/local/freebsd-update-server/patches/7.1-RELEASE/; mv bind.patch 7-SA-09:12.bind

Note: When running a patch level build, it is assumed that previous patches are in place. When a patch build is run, it will run all patches contained in the patch directory.

There can be custom patches added to any build. Use the number zero, or any other number.

Warning: It is up to the administrator of the FreeBSD Update Server to take appropriate measures to verify the authenticity of every patch.

At this point, a diff is ready to be built. The software checks first to see if a scripts/init.sh has been run on the respective release prior to running the diff build.

# cd /usr/local/freebsd-update-server
# sh scripts/diff.sh amd64 7.1-RELEASE 7

What follows is a sample of a differential build run.

# sh -e scripts/diff.sh amd64 7.1-RELEASE 7
