This PR fundamentally restructures the EasyTier GUI, introducing support for service mode and remote mode, transforming it from a simple desktop application into a powerful network management terminal. This change allows users to persistently run the EasyTier core as a background service or remotely manage multiple EasyTier instances, greatly improving deployment flexibility and manageability.
This change introduces a major refactoring of the RPC service layer to improve modularity, unify the API, and simplify the overall architecture.
Key changes:
- Replaced per-network-instance RPC services with a single global RPC server, reducing resource usage and simplifying management.
- All clients (CLI, Web UI, etc.) now interact with EasyTier core through a unified RPC entrypoint, enabling consistent authentication and control.
- RPC implementation logic has been moved to `easytier/src/rpc_service/` and organized by functionality (e.g., `instance_manage.rs`, `peer_manage.rs`, `config.rs`) for better maintainability.
- Standardized Protobuf API definitions under `easytier/src/proto/` with an `api_` prefix (e.g., `cli.proto` → `api_instance.proto`) to provide a consistent interface.
- CLI commands now require explicit `--instance-id` or `--instance-name` when multiple network instances are running; the parameter is optional when only one instance exists.
BREAKING CHANGE:
RPC portal configuration (`rpc_portal` and `rpc_portal_whitelist`) has been removed from per-instance configs and the Web UI. The RPC listen address must now be specified globally via the `--rpc-portal` command-line flag or the `ET_RPC_PORTAL` environment variable, as there is only one RPC service for the entire application.
This patch implement a restful server without any auth.
usage:
```bash
# run easytier-web, which acts as an gateway and registry for all easytier-core
$> easytier-web
# run easytier-core and connect to easytier-web with a token
$> easytier-core --config-server udp://127.0.0.1:22020/fdsafdsa
# use restful api to list session
$> curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET 127.0.0.1:11211/api/v1/sessions

* move rpc-build out of easytier dir and make it a independant project
* easytier core use launcher
* fix flags not print on launch
* allow launcher not fetch node info
* abstract out peer rpc impl
* fix arm gui ci. see https://github.com/actions/runner-images/pull/10807
* add easytier-web crate
* fix manual_connector test case
This patch removes Tarpc & Tonic GRPC and implements a customized rpc framework, which can be used by peer rpc and cli interface.
web config server can also use this rpc framework.
moreover, rewrite the public server logic, use ospf route to implement public server based networking. this make public server mesh possible.
