This workflow is now redundant since test-platform-builds.yml calls
build-platforms.yml which includes both x86_64 and aarch64 static builds.
PRs touching workflow files will automatically trigger the build tests.
Add aarch64-unknown-linux-musl static build to the CI pipeline.
Key changes:
- Use matrix strategy for static builds (x86_64 + aarch64)
- Add ARM workaround for checkout (JS actions don't work in Alpine on ARM)
- Add -mno-outline-atomics CFLAGS to fix libbpf linking on arm64 musl
(prevents undefined reference to __aarch64_ldadd4_sync)
- Add continue-on-error for aarch64 artifact uploads
Fixes#139
- Add build-platforms.yml reusable workflow with full build matrix
- Add composite actions for setup-linux-deps, build-rustnet, build-static
- Simplify test-platform-builds.yml and release.yml to call shared workflow
- Update RELEASE.md: run test builds before release prep
- Temporarily disable aarch64 static build (JS actions don't work in Alpine on ARM)
- Add test-static-builds.yml workflow to test fixes before applying to release
* feat: reorganize platform code into per-platform directories
- Move platform files into linux/, macos/, windows/, freebsd/ subdirectories
- Unify create_process_lookup() API with _use_pktap parameter across all platforms
- Update build.rs paths for eBPF program location
- Reduce cfg attributes in main mod.rs from ~42 to 8
* fix: widen tolerance for test_sliding_window_no_skip_first_sample
Increase acceptable range from 9000-11000 to 5000-15000 to account
for timing variability on macOS ARM CI runners.
* docs: update Linux build dependencies and remove EBPF_BUILD.md
- Add missing build-essential, pkg-config, zlib1g-dev to documentation
- Update rust.yml CI with complete dependencies
- Remove EBPF_BUILD.md (info already in INSTALL.md)
- Update references in README.md and ARCHITECTURE.md
- Removed freebsd-x64 from cross-compilation matrix
- Added dedicated build-freebsd job using vmactions/freebsd-vm
- Builds natively on actual FreeBSD using pkg and native toolchain
- Updated test-freebsd workflow to use VM as well
- Avoids all cross-compilation sysroot/libpcap issues
- Make libbpf-cargo an optional build dependency
- Include it in ebpf feature to only build when needed
- Add test workflow for FreeBSD builds that can be manually triggered
- This prevents libbpf-sys from being built when cross-compiling to FreeBSD
- Add automated PPA build workflow for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04
- Build and sign packages using CI GPG key
- Auto-upload to ppa:domcyrus/rustnet on git tags
- Add complete Debian packaging files
Make eBPF the default build configuration on Linux for better
performance and lower overhead process identification.
Changes:
- Set default features to include ebpf in Cargo.toml
- Remove explicit --features linux-default from build configs
- Update all documentation to reflect eBPF is now default
- Add instructions for building without eBPF (--no-default-features)
eBPF automatically falls back to procfs if it fails to load.
Closes#32
* fix: remove vmlinux crate dep
* fix: download architecture-specific vmlinux.h at build time
Instead of using a git dependency (not allowed on crates.io), download the
architecture-specific vmlinux.h header at build time from the libbpf/vmlinux.h
repository. This approach:
- Removes git dependency from Cargo.toml (crates.io compatible)
- Downloads correct arch-specific header (x86, aarch64, arm)
- Caches downloaded headers in OUT_DIR (reuses between builds)
- Works with cargo install
- Supports cross-compilation for all architectures
The vmlinux.h file (~3-4MB per arch) is downloaded once per architecture
and cached, so subsequent builds are fast.
* fix: use ureq with rustls instead of http_req
http_req depends on native-tls/openssl-sys which requires OpenSSL to be
installed in the cross-compilation containers. Switch to ureq with the
rustls backend which has no system dependencies and works in all
cross-compilation environments.
* fix: follow symlink when downloading vmlinux.h
The vmlinux.h files in the libbpf/vmlinux.h repository are symlinks to
versioned files (e.g. vmlinux_6.14.h). When downloading via
raw.githubusercontent.com, we get the symlink content (just the target
filename) instead of the actual file.
Solution: Download the symlink first to get the target filename, then
download the actual versioned file. This ensures we get the full header
content instead of just the symlink text.
* add crate publish workflow
* Remove musl targets to simplify Linux builds and fix cross-compilation issues
* Enable eBPF by default on Linux via linux-default feature for better packet capture
* Add macOS code signing and notarization support with graceful fallback for unsigned builds
* Fix Windows MSI packaging with improved WiX configuration and Npcap library linking
* Auto-extract changelog content from CHANGELOG.md into GitHub release notes
* Fix ARM cross-compilation (aarch64, armv7) with proper library paths and eBPF support
* Add comprehensive installation documentation for DMG, MSI, DEB, and RPM packages
* Allow re-running releases with --clobber flag for artifact uploads
- Add GitHub Actions workflow for automated releases
- Create .deb, .rpm, AppImage, .dmg, and .msi packages
- Generate shell completions and manpages in build.rs
- Add platform-specific icons from rustnet3.svg
- Include eBPF dependencies for Linux packages
- Support Windows 32-bit and 64-bit builds
- Extract shared CLI module to prevent duplication
* feat: Add experimental eBPF support for enhanced socket tracking
- Implement eBPF-based socket tracker for Linux with CO-RE support
- Add minimal vmlinux header (5.5KB) instead of full 3.4MB file
- Create graceful fallback mechanism to procfs when eBPF unavailable
- Add comprehensive eBPF build documentation
- Integrate libbpf-rs for eBPF program loading and management
- Support both IPv4 and IPv6 socket tracking
- Add capability checking for required permissions
The eBPF feature is optional and disabled by default. When enabled,
it provides faster and more accurate process-to-socket mapping on
Linux systems with appropriate permissions.
