cloudrig's Issues

Add update security group

For when your IP address changes:

https://github.com/cloudRIG/cloudrig/blob/master/lib/services/instance.js#L899

Fix ZeroTier connectivity

This might be tied to the 1.2 release, but the computers no longer see each other.

To replicate:

1. Set up cloudRIG
2. Start up
3. See how you can't ping the cloudRIG VPN address

Credentials helper

When booting up, if there are no credentials, offer to copy paste them in.

Fix Steam client port binding

Known issue with Steam client being unable to rebind to port 27036 (streaming port) after relaunch, which means a user would have to restart their computer each time.

Add deregister AMI

Fix network performance

Looks like UDP is treated badly.

Stop after current hour

Set a scheduled event to shut down the instance after the current hour to prevent rolling onto the next one and incurring cost.

Add Search for AMI rather than fixed ID

Current method doesn't work.

Implement finding stock Windows 2016 image: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/finding-an-ami.html#finding-an-ami-aws-cli

Enhance region selection

As a dropdown list rather than needing to type it in.

Check for pending AMI's when starting

Make sure it uses the autosave that was scheduled.

Investigate necessity of second volume

The parsec branch has code to create and attach an EBS volume for games, rather than specifying it as a store during the spot fleet request. This is because I noticed it took a very long time to make a copy of the root EBS volume as a 256GB drive. However, that could have been just AWS being super slow at the time...

Electron packager

For GUI. Currently erroring out about the ../lib folder

Set up status watcher

Using a Terminal UI.

• Current spot price
• Current snapshot status
• Current spot request status

I'd build it as a separate .js file that can be run at the same time as the main cloudRIG file.

Automate Steam Guard

I've spent a long time on this and it's not working yet. There's OpenSSL set up, so information such as creds and codes can be sent to cloudRIG.

The problem is that AWS Run Command runs as SYSTEM and when I try and execute as another user (administrator) it's denied:

$username = "administrator" 
$password = "(pwd)"
$startWithElevatedRights = "C:\Windows\notepad.exe"

$credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList @($username,(ConvertTo-SecureString -String $password -AsPlainText -Force))
$ps = Start-Process -PassThru -FilePath powershell -Credential $credentials -ArgumentList '-noprofile -command &{Start-Process ',  $startWithElevatedRights, ' -Wait -verb runas}'

$ps.WaitForExit()

Setting a scheduled task doesn't seem to work either:

$action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "Powershell.exe" -Argument @'
-Command "Stop-Process -Name "Steam" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue ; & 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe'"
'@
Register-ScheduledTask -Action $action -Description "description" -Force -TaskName "taskname" -TaskPath "\"

As far as I can tell the steps are:

1. Set autologon for Administrator

$RegPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon"
$RegROPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce"

Set-ItemProperty $RegPath "AutoAdminLogon" -Value "1" -type String  
Set-ItemProperty $RegPath "DefaultUsername" -Value "administrator" -type String  
Set-ItemProperty $RegPath "DefaultPassword" -Value "(pwd)" -type String
Set-ItemProperty $RegPath "AutoLogonCount" -Value "1" -type DWord
Set-ItemProperty $RegROPath "(Default)" -Value "" -type String

2. Create Steam shortcut with creds
3. Reboot
4. Query steam processes in a loop and check if Steamguard or Steam News is open. Something like PS:

$timeout = new-timespan -Minutes 1
$sw = [diagnostics.stopwatch]::StartNew()
start-sleep -seconds 10
while ($sw.elapsed -lt $timeout) {
    
    $steamGuardWindow = Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.mainWindowTitle -match "Steam Guard*" } | Select-Object -First 1

    $steamMainWindow =  Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.mainWindowTitle -eq "Steam" -or $_.mainWindowTitle -match "Steam - News*" } | Select-Object -First 1

    if($steamGuardWindow.Count -gt 0) {

        Write-Host "SteamGuard"
        return

    } elseif($steamMainWindow.Count -gt 0) {
        
        Write-Host "Main"
        return;

    } else {
        Write-Host "SomethingElse"
        return;
    }
 
    start-sleep -seconds 5

}

5. If it's open, automate the key presses like:

Add-Type -AssemblyName Microsoft.VisualBasic
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms

[Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::AppActivate(“Steam”)
Sleep 1
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait(“{ENTER}”)
Sleep 2
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait(“1234”)
Sleep 1
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait(“{ENTER}”)`

6. Prompt user for Steam Guard code
7. Automate Steam Guard code into UI
