Restrict system operations of CLI tools with https://man.openbsd.org/pledge.2. https://pkg.go.dev/suah.dev/protect abstracts the OS specific code, i.e. is a NOOP on non-OpenBSD systems. This PR is to gauge upstream interest in this direction; my OpenBSD port of yggdrasil already pledges the daemon, resulting in minimal runtime privileges, but there are still a few rough edges: https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip/blob/master/net/yggdrasil/patches/patch-cmd_yggdrasil_main_go#L80 --------- Co-authored-by: Neil <git@neilalexander.dev>
Yggdrasil
Introduction
Yggdrasil is an early-stage implementation of a fully end-to-end encrypted IPv6 network. It is lightweight, self-arranging, supported on multiple platforms and allows pretty much any IPv6-capable application to communicate securely with other Yggdrasil nodes. Yggdrasil does not require you to have IPv6 Internet connectivity - it also works over IPv4.
Supported Platforms
Yggdrasil works on a number of platforms, including Linux, macOS, Ubiquiti EdgeRouter, VyOS, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and OpenWrt.
Please see our Installation
page for more information. You may also find other platform-specific wrappers, scripts
or tools in the contrib folder.
Building
If you want to build from source, as opposed to installing one of the pre-built packages:
- Install Go (requires Go 1.21 or later)
- Clone this repository
- Run
./build
Note that you can cross-compile for other platforms and architectures by
specifying the GOOS and GOARCH environment variables, e.g. GOOS=windows ./build or GOOS=linux GOARCH=mipsle ./build.
Running
Generate configuration
To generate static configuration, either generate a HJSON file (human-friendly, complete with comments):
./yggdrasil -genconf > /path/to/yggdrasil.conf
... or generate a plain JSON file (which is easy to manipulate programmatically):
./yggdrasil -genconf -json > /path/to/yggdrasil.conf
You will need to edit the yggdrasil.conf file to add or remove peers, modify
other configuration such as listen addresses or multicast addresses, etc.
Run Yggdrasil
To run with the generated static configuration:
./yggdrasil -useconffile /path/to/yggdrasil.conf
To run in auto-configuration mode (which will use sane defaults and random keys at each startup, instead of using a static configuration file):
./yggdrasil -autoconf
You will likely need to run Yggdrasil as a privileged user or under sudo,
unless you have permission to create TUN/TAP adapters. On Linux this can be done
by giving the Yggdrasil binary the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.
