Introduction

What is Goss?

Goss is a YAML based serverspec alternative tool for validating a server’s configuration. It eases the process of writing tests by allowing the user to generate tests from the current system state. Once the test suite is written they can be executed, waited-on, or served as a health endpoint.

Why use Goss?
  • Goss is EASY! - Goss in 45 seconds
  • Goss is FAST! - small-medium test suits are near instantaneous, see benchmarks
  • Goss is SMALL! - <10MB single self-contained binary

Installation

This will install goss and dgoss.

Note: Using curl | sh is not recommended for production systems, use manual installation below.

# Install latest version to /usr/local/bin
curl -fsSL https://goss.rocks/install | sh

# Install v0.3.5 version to ~/bin
curl -fsSL https://goss.rocks/install | GOSS_VER=v0.3.5 GOSS_DST=~/bin sh
Manual installation
# See https://github.com/aelsabbahy/goss/releases for release versions
curl -L https://github.com/aelsabbahy/goss/releases/download/_VERSION_/goss-linux-amd64 -o /usr/local/bin/goss
chmod +rx /usr/local/bin/goss

# (optional) dgoss docker wrapper (use 'master' for latest version)
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aelsabbahy/goss/_VERSION_/extras/dgoss/dgoss -o /usr/local/bin/dgoss
chmod +rx /usr/local/bin/dgoss

Quick start

Writing a simple sshd test

An initial set of tests can be derived from the system state by using the add or autoadd commands.

Let's write a simple sshd test using autoadd.

# Running it as root will allow it to also detect ports
$ sudo goss autoadd sshd

Generated goss.yaml:

$ cat goss.yaml
port:
  tcp:22:
    listening: true
    ip:
    - 0.0.0.0
  tcp6:22:
    listening: true
    ip:
    - '::'
service:
  sshd:
    enabled: true
    running: true
user:
  sshd:
    exists: true
    uid: 74
    gid: 74
    groups:
    - sshd
    home: /var/empty/sshd
    shell: /sbin/nologin
group:
  sshd:
    exists: true
    gid: 74
process:
  sshd:
    running: true

Now that we have a test suite, we can:

  • Run it once
goss validate
...............

Total Duration: 0.021s # <- yeah, it's that fast..
Count: 15, Failed: 0
  • Edit it to use templates, and run with a vars file
goss --vars vars.yaml validate
  • keep running it until the system enters a valid state or we timeout
goss validate --retry-timeout 30s --sleep 1s
  • serve the tests as a health endpoint
goss serve &
curl localhost:8080/healthz

# JSON endpoint
goss serve --format json &
curl localhost:8080/healthz
Manually editing Goss files

Goss files can be manually edited to use:

Some examples:

user:
  sshd:
    title: UID must be between 50-100, GID doesn't matter. home is flexible
    meta:
      desc: Ensure sshd is enabled and running since it's needed for system management
      sev: 5
    exists: true
    uid:
      # Validate that UID is between 50 and 100
      and:
        gt: 50
        lt: 100
    home:
      # Home can be any of the following
      or:
      - /var/empty/sshd
      - /var/run/sshd

package:
  kernel:
    installed: true
    versions:
      # Must have 3 kernels and none of them can be 4.4.0
      and:
      - have-len: 3
      - not:
          contain-element: 4.4.0

  # Loaded from --vars YAML/JSON file
  {{.Vars.package}}:
    installed: true

{{if eq .Env.OS "centos"}}
  # This test is only when $OS environment variable is set to "centos"
  libselinux:
    installed: true
{{end}}

Supported resources

  • package - add new package
  • file - add new file
  • addr - add new remote address:port - ex: google.com:80
  • port - add new listening [protocol]:port - ex: 80 or udp:123
  • service - add new service
  • user - add new user
  • group - add new group
  • command - add new command
  • dns - add new dns
  • process - add new process name
  • kernel-param - add new kernel-param
  • mount - add new mount
  • interface - add new network interface
  • http - add new network http url
  • goss - add new goss file, it will be imported from this one
  • matching - test for matches in supplied content

Supported output formats

  • rspecish (default) - Similar to rspec output
  • documentation - Verbose test results
  • JSON - Detailed test result
  • TAP
  • JUnit
  • nagios - Nagios/Sensu compatible output /w exit code 2 for failures.
  • silent - No output. Avoids exposing system information (e.g. when serving tests as a healthcheck endpoint).
