breakglass

breakglass is a gokrazy package which provides emergency/debugging access to a gokrazy installation.

It breaks the gokrazy model in that it allows you to run payloads implemented in any language (e.g. busybox, implemented in C).

To repeat, breakglass’s whole idea is remote code execution (via SSH/SCP, listening only on private network addresss). Hence, it should usually not be present on your gokrazy installation, but it might be useful for development/debugging. As a safety measure, breakglass will not automatically be started on boot, but needs to explicitly be started via the gokrazy web interface.

Installation

Please see https://gokrazy.org/quickstart/ if you’re unfamiliar with gokrazy.

First, install your SSH public key(s) as authorized via package config for the github.com/gokrazy/breakglass package:

mkdir -p extrafiles/github.com/gokrazy/breakglass/etc/
# Note: At the moment only ed25519 and ecdsa keys work
cat ~/.ssh/id_*.pub \
  extrafiles/github.com/gokrazy/breakglass/etc/breakglass.authorized_keys

mkdir -p flags/github.com/gokrazy/breakglass/
echo '-authorized_keys=/etc/breakglass.authorized_keys' \
  > flags/github.com/gokrazy/breakglass/flags.txt

Then, add the github.com/gokrazy/breakglass and github.com/gokrazy/serial-busybox packages to your gokr-packer command, e.g.:

gokr-packer -overwrite=/dev/sdx \
  github.com/gokrazy/hello \
  github.com/gokrazy/serial-busybox \
  github.com/gokrazy/breakglass

Usage

Be sure to install the convenience SSH wrapper tool on the host:

go install github.com/gokrazy/breakglass/cmd/breakglass

Start a shell

If you have github.com/gokrazy/serial-busybox installed on your gokrazy installation, you can directly start a shell without having to upload your own tools. Run:

breakglass gokrazy

If you prefer, you can also manually start breakglass in the gokrazy web interface and then use ssh gokrazy to log in.

Run your own tools

  1. Create a tarball containing your statically linked arm64 binaries and any other files you’ll need.
  2. SCP that tarball to your gokrazy installation, where breakglass will unpack it into a temporary directory.
  3. Execute a binary via SSH.

Here’s an example, assuming you unpacked and statically cross-compiled busybox in /tmp/busybox-1.22.0 and your gokrazy installation runs on host gokrazy:

$ cd /tmp/busybox-1.22.0
$ file busybox
busybox: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked,
for GNU/Linux 3.7.0, BuildID[sha1]=c9e20e9849ed0ca3c2bd058427ac31a27c008efe, stripped
$ ln -s busybox sh
$ tar cf breakglass.tar --dereference sh
$ breakglass -debug_tarball_pattern=debug.tar gokrazy
/tmp/breakglass564067692 # df -h
