Tunnelling - rathole client

- get rathole

wget -O $HOME/suda-git/rathole-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.zip https://github.com/rapiz1/rathole/releases/download/v0.4.7/rathole-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.zip

- make a directory for rathole

mkdir $HOME/rathole

- unzip the archive into that directory

unzip -q $HOME/suda-git/rathole-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.zip -d $HOME/rathole

- make the binary executable

sudo chmod +x $HOME/rathole/rathole

- move the binary to /usr/bin/ so it's accessible from anywhere in the system

sudo mv $HOME/rathole/rathole /usr/bin/

- make a directory that will hold the rathole configuration

sudo mkdir -p /etc/rathole

- copy configuration files to /etc/rathole

sudo cp $HOME/suda-git/config/app1c.toml /etc/rathole/app1.toml

sudo cp $HOME/suda-git/config/app2c.toml /etc/rathole/app2.toml

sudo cp $HOME/suda-git/config/app3c.toml /etc/rathole/app3.toml

- copy systemd service files to /etc/systemd/system

sudo cp $HOME/suda-git/config/ratholec@.service /etc/systemd/system/

- define $secret (needs to be the same string as on the server install)

secret="the_string_from_the_server(witout_quotes)"

- use sed to replace "hackme" with the secret string in the config files

sudo sed -i "s/hackme/$secret/g" /etc/rathole/app1c.toml

sudo sed -i "s/hackme/$secret/g" /etc/rathole/app2c.toml

sudo sed -i "s/hackme/$secret/g" /etc/rathole/app3c.toml

- app1 - noVNC service running on the client machine on port 443

- app2 - icecast streaming service running on the client machine on port 8443

- app3 - icecast admin backing service running on the client on port 8080

- enable rathole instances with the appropriate config file for each service

sudo systemctl enable ratholec@app1 --now

sudo systemctl enable ratholec@app2 --now

sudo systemctl enable ratholec@app3 --now

- transfer the SSL certificate files from the server machine to the client

- define the domain (without protocol)

 

domain=suda.hacklab01.org

- make new directory to hold the certificates

sudo mkdir -p /etc/letsencrypt/suda.hacklab01.org/livelive/$domain/

scp- $user@$domain:/etc/letsencrypt/live/$domain/*define
user for remote server

scp $user@$domain:/etc/letsencrypt/live/$domain/bundle.pem bundle.pem

user=root (only root can access the certificates)

 

sudo scp $user@$domain:/etc/letsencrypt/live/$domain/* /etc/letsencrypt/live/$domain

- setup MAPS for tunneling - change the references to the local IP into the domain

sed -i "s/http:\/\/$ip:8080/https:\/\/$domain:8443/g" $HOME/suda-git/noVNC-1.3.0/index.html

sed -i "s/$ip/$domain/g" $HOME/maps/MAPS.pd

 

- setup noVNC service for tunneling - the service configuration instructs noVNC to use the certificate and run the service on port 443 (as opposed to port 80 for the local configuration)

 

- disable the novnc-local service

 

sudo systecmtl disable novnc-local

 

- copy novnc-remote service to /etc/systemd/system/

 

sudo cp $HOME/suda-git/config/novnc-remote.service /etc/systemd/system/

 

- enable the novnc-remote service

sudo systecmtl enable novnc-remote
