From bf974c9870c1b7b0ddbb2bdbfae699f04cda64cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: goodboy Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 19:37:29 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add a `wg`-tunnelled 2-host example set MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Re-renders gh #482's examples w/ the corrected (infix) maddr grammar, as the "layer A" slice of the wg plan: declarative maddrs only, tunnel pre-provisioned out-of-band, zero runtime changes. - `wg_maddr.py`: a `frozen=True` `msgspec.Struct` addr carrying `bearer`/`peer_pubkey`/`inner` (+ `inner_proto`), a `.maddr` property that re-renders the canonical form, and pure `mb_pubkey()`/`wg8_pubkey()`/`parse_wg_maddr()`. The parser rejects #482's inverted suffix form w/ an actionable error and stays **side-effect free** — `verify_wg_peer()` is a separate, explicitly impure step the caller composes, never something a parse path shells out to. - `host_a_srv.py`/`host_b_client.py`: the two-host runs, passing only `addr.inner` into `open_nursery()`/`open_root_actor()`, which is the whole point — the bearer + key layers are already established before any bind happens. - `README.md`: the grammar + the 3-owners table, the `#108` branch install line, tunnel setup, and a "what changed vs #482" section enumerating the corrections. Runnable-shaped but **not yet run against a live tunnel**; that's next, and the reason these sit on the planning branch rather than in `examples/` proper. `_segments()` marks its stopgap for when the `wg` codec isn't installed. (this patch was generated in some part by `claude-code` using `claude-opus-5` (`anthropic`)) --- examples/wg_lan/README.md | 153 ++++++++++++++++++++++ examples/wg_lan/host_a_srv.py | 61 +++++++++ examples/wg_lan/host_b_client.py | 52 ++++++++ examples/wg_lan/wg_maddr.py | 215 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 481 insertions(+) create mode 100644 examples/wg_lan/README.md create mode 100644 examples/wg_lan/host_a_srv.py create mode 100644 examples/wg_lan/host_b_client.py create mode 100644 examples/wg_lan/wg_maddr.py diff --git a/examples/wg_lan/README.md b/examples/wg_lan/README.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..21396d5b --- /dev/null +++ b/examples/wg_lan/README.md @@ -0,0 +1,153 @@ +# `tractor` over a WireGuard tunnel, declared as one maddr + +A two-host LAN setup: a `tractor` actor tree on host A, dialed +from host B, with the endpoint declared as a single `wg` +multiaddr. + +Supersedes the example set in gh +[#482](https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/482) — see +[what changed](#what-changed-vs-482). + +## the maddr form + +``` +/ip4/192.168.1.50/udp/51820/wg/u/ip4/10.0.11.1/tcp/1616 +\____ wg bearer ___________/\__ key __/\____ tractor ep _____/ + underlay, wg `ListenPort` overlay, on the wg iface + (kernel/`wg(8)` owns it) (the ONLY part tractor binds) +``` + +Three parts, three different owners: + +| part | who binds it | in the runtime? | +| --- | --- | --- | +| `/ip4/../udp/51820` bearer | kernel via `wg-quick`/`pyroute2` | no | +| `/wg/u` | nothing — it's an identity | no, verified out-of-band | +| `/ip4/../tcp/1616` overlay | `tractor`'s `IPCServer` | **yes**, as `.inner` | + +Verified against py-multiaddr +[#108](https://github.com/multiformats/py-multiaddr/pull/108): +this composed form parses and round-trips +(`['ip4','udp','wg','ip4','tcp']`). + +## requirements + +The `wg` proto isn't in released `py-multiaddr` yet (`0.2.0` has +no `wg` codec), so until #108 lands: + +```bash +uv pip install 'git+https://github.com/baudco/py-multiaddr.git@wg_support' multibase +``` + +`wg_maddr.py` degrades to a plain segment split when the codec is +absent, so the examples still run — but you lose per-segment +validation.
