dillard 9eeaefd938 Refuse a full restore when the table prefix differs 2026-10-18 02:39:14 +02:00
dillard d8ef50732f Full restore creates missing tables and suspends foreign keys; --install-apps; clearer messages
Backups now record each table's structure in the dump manifest. The full
restore creates tables that do not exist on the new instance (left behind
by apps that were removed or are switched off), lists all problems at
once, and no longer stops on apps that are missing. Foreign keys are not
checked while rows are loaded in name order, and checked again before the
restore commits (PostgreSQL: dropped and added back in the transaction).

--install-apps installs or enables the apps that were enabled at backup
time; --skip-missing-tables leaves out tables of older backups whose
structure is unknown. nextcloud-aio is never required.

backup:target:add without a key points to backup:key:import, and says that
connecting can take a while. Removing a location drops its cached index;
a migration removes the cache of locations that are gone.

The full-restore test now also runs on PostgreSQL with Mail (foreign keys)
and a disabled app.

- backup:restore:full refuses on an installation with more than one user
  and asks before it starts (--force skips both, also to rerun after a
  failure halfway), and warns when the snapshot's database dump was not
  one consistent transaction.
- backup:user:restore --mode=replace asks before deleting an existing
  account; non-interactive use needs --force.
- The recovery kit file is created owner-only and never over an existing
  file or symlink; backup:key:import shows the deletion delay it read from
  the kit.
- Adding a location through the web API needs password confirmation, like
  removing one.
- Key derivation parameters from a kit or repository config are bounded,
  and a stalled network stream no longer spins at full CPU.
- Floating-point columns are dumped exactly instead of with 14 digits.

Full restore, raw directory restore, per-user export and the safety export
held a fixed-TTL lease on the location that nothing refreshed. A restore or
export running longer than that TTL let a cleanup take over and delete data
still in use. They now refresh the lease while they work (per blob, per row
batch, per written chunk), throttled to once a minute.

Also:
- backup:prune still applies snapshot retention when user-export retention
  fails for a location.
- The recovery kit carries the deletion delay, so a disaster recovery keeps
  the original protection instead of falling back to 7 days. Older kits
  still import with the default.
- CI checkouts no longer persist the token in the git config.
- recoveryKit() has its real return type; the stale baseline entry is gone.

dillard eb9100a74d Fix review findings: catalog writes, user restore consent, retention validation
Catalog: forgetting a user export or purging trash now writes the catalog
before deleting the objects, so a crash leaves at most an unreferenced file
instead of a catalog entry pointing at nothing. Per-user backup and the
safety export reopen the repository inside the catalog lock, so they build
on the latest catalog generation.

Commands: backup:user:backup and backup:user:restore resolve the location
before asking to install user_migration, and a successful install always
stops with a rerun instruction. backup:retention rejects a malformed
--user-last before changing any policy. backup:key:import fails clearly
when the passphrase file cannot be read.

New commands, per PLAN.md 3.7:
- occ backup:key:import: adopt the master key from a recovery kit on a fresh installation
  (instead of occ backup:key:init generating a new one), so occ backup:target:add opens the
  existing repository on the location rather than creating an empty one.
- occ backup:restore:full: replace the database (consistent, one transaction), restore the data
  directory in place, and merge config.php -- refuses up front and lists what's missing when the
  Nextcloud major version or any app enabled at backup time doesn't match here (their tables must
  exist before the database restore can use them), rather than guessing or partially applying.

Repository::restore() gained an optional $stripPrefix (write "data/<uid>/..." straight into the
real data directory, not a "data/" subdirectory of it) -- restoring "data/" and "config/" this way
needs no temporary copy of what can be the largest part of an instance.

occ backup:target:add now backfills the local snapshot cache (ngb_snapshots, what occ backup:list
actually reads) when it adopts an existing repository: without this, a freshly connected location
showed no restore points at all, even though the repository itself had them. One unreadable
snapshot is skipped rather than aborting the backfill or the target add itself.

Three self-referential problems found and fixed by testing this against two real, separate
Nextcloud instances sharing only the backup location (tests/integration/full-restore-roundtrip.sh
covers this; the per-process nature of these bugs meant they were invisible from inside a single
occ invocation, including the one used to write the fixes, which is exactly why a second, fresh
process re-running occ backup:status etc. was necessary to catch them):
- The full database dump includes ng_backup's own tables and appconfig rows; restoring them
  verbatim would overwrite the key/target that is actively performing the restore, on THIS
  installation, with the backed-up instance's. Both are now preserved: ng_backup's own tables
  (and, on PostgreSQL, their sequences -- excluding a table does not exclude its sequence) are
  excluded from what gets restored, and its appconfig rows are captured before the database
  restore and written back after, in their own transaction.
- config.php's 'secret' is merged in from the backup (needed so already-encrypted content in the
  restored database, e.g. share tokens, stays decryptable), but Target::options, the master key,
  the wrapped key and the recovery kit code are all encrypted with that same instance secret
  (OCP's ICrypto, or Nextcloud AppConfig's own "sensitive" flag underneath), not with ng_backup's
  own key. Changing it without re-encrypting them first left all four permanently undecryptable
  the moment any later occ command ran. Fixed with two helpers
  (TargetService::reencryptOptionsAround(), KeyService::reencryptForSecretRotation()) that decrypt
  before and re-encrypt after whatever callback actually changes the secret; config.php is applied
  dead last in restoreFull(), after every other repository access. Not crash-safe (a process kill
  mid-rotation would leave a key missing, not just stale) -- disaster recovery is run once by
  hand, right after occ maintenance:install, a window too narrow yet to justify a two-phase write.
- A subtler variant of the same bug: Nextcloud's own AppConfig additionally encrypts a "sensitive"
  value itself, tied to the same secret, underneath our own encryption. Overwriting an existing
  sensitive key makes it read the old value first to compare, which then also fails against the
  new secret. Deleting the key before setting the new value avoids that read entirely.

Roadmap (PLAN.md 9): phase 3 (in-place full restore, user self-service) moved out to v1.3.0; phase
2 continues toward v1.2.0 with FTP/SMB, a verification/checksum-audit command, user-export
retention, and deciding whether per-user export joins the automatic schedule.
