Using puppet modules from the puppet forge judiciously will allow us
to simplify the configuration somewhat; this specifically pulls in the
stdlib module, which we were already using parts of.
This moves the `.asc` files into subdirectories, and writes out the
according `.list` files into them. It moves from templates to
written-out `.list` files for clarity and ease of
implementation (Debian and Ubuntu need different templates for
`zulip`), and as a way of making explicit which releases are supported
for each list. For the special-case of the PGroonga signing key, we
source an additional file within the directory.
This simplifies the process for adding another class of `.list` file.
Add support for custom database names and database users, which can be
set with the `--postgresql-database-name` and
`--postgresql-database-user` install script options. If these
parameters aren't provided, then the defaults remain "zulip".
Fixes#17662.

This adds basic support for `postgresql.database_user` and
`postgresql.database_name` settings in `zulip.conf`; the defaults if
unspecified are left as `zulip`.

Add a helper `run_psql_as_postgres` function in
`scripts/lib/zulip_tools.py`. This is preparatory refactoring for the
work to add custom database and user names.

When upgrading from a pre-4.0 release, scripts/stop-server logic would
check whether supervisord configuration files were present to
determine what it needed to restart, but only considered paths to
those files that are introduced in Zulip 4.0.
Fixed#18493.
This ensures that the `git describe` queries that we run for caching
Zulip's Git version are guaranteed to include recent releases.
This change ensures that we have accurate output even if we're pointed
at a fork of Zulip that never updates its tags.
Additionally, it will make it possible to record the
`git merge-base upstream/master` in future commits.
Note that because we run this code before unpacking the new version,
the pre-upgrade version of this code runs.
As a result, we cannot assume that the upstream repository exists.
This removes a possible window where an installer error could leave
`nvm` in a state where it had prepended the full path to the
newly-installed `npm` to `$PATH`; we would like to avoid `nvm`
fiddling with path whenever possible (ref ebe930ab2c).
During the upgrade process of a postgresql-only Zulip installation,
(`puppet_classes = zulip::profile::postgresql` in
`/etc/zulip/zulip.conf`) either `scripts/start-server` or
`scripts/stop-server` fail because they try to handle supervisor
services that are not available (e.g. Tornado) since only
`/etc/supervisor/conf.d/zulip/zulip_db.conf` is present and not
`/etc/supervisor/conf.d/zulip/zulip.conf`.
While this wasn't previously supported, it's a pretty reasonable thing
to do, and can be readily supported by just adding a few conditionals.
Matching the full process name (-x without -f) or full command
line (-xf) is less prone to mistakes like matching a random substring
of some other command line or pgrep matching itself.

Thumbor and tc-aws have been dragging their feet on Python 3 support
for years, and even the alphas and unofficial forks we’ve been running
don’t seem to be maintained anymore. Depending on these projects is

The `en_US.UTF-8` locale may not be configured or generated on all
installs; it also requires that the `locales` package be installed.
If users generate the `en_US.UTF-8` locale without adding it to the
permanent set of system locales, the generated `en_US.UTF-8` stops
working when the `locales` package is updated.
Switch to using `C.UTF-8` in all cases, which is guaranteed to be
installed.
Fixes#15819.
In some cases, puppet can end up restarting supervisord services - which
will use code from the old deployment, because when puppet runs,
/home/zulip/deployments/current still points there. Thus restart-server
needs to be used in favor of start-server, unless we know that puppet
has been skipped.
Previous versions of zulip used `nvm alias default ...` to have `nvm`
prepend the full path to the latest `node` install to the `PATH` in
root's shell. Unfortunately, this means that `update-prod-static`,
when called from `upgrade-zulip-stage-2` after an upgrade of node in
`install-node`, would still have the full path to the _old_ `node` at
the start of its PATH, because the PATH of `upgrade-zulip-stage-2`
would still be unchanged.
Bootstrap out of this by setting a known-reasonable PATH during
upgrade, and remove the problematic `nvm alias default` behaviour.
Fixes#18258.
In Debian, becoming root as `su` does not alter the `$PATH`; this can
lead to the root user not having `/usr/sbin` in its path, and thus
the `useradd zulip` step of the installer fails.
Fixes#17441.
Instead of taking the "onion" approach, where all services are
stopped, and then started back up again, default to a rolling restart
across all processes. This draws out how long the overall "restart"
takes, but minimizes the time that any of the services are down. This
minimizes user-visible impact and queue buildup.
In cases where speed is more important than minimal impact (for
example, there is already a current outage), a --less-graceful flag is
provided, which brings the services down more suddenly, and back up in
a still-correct order.
This hits the unauthenticated Github API to get the list of tags,
which is rate-limited to 60 requests per hour. This means that the
tool can only be run 60 times per hour before it starts to exit with
errors, but that seems like a reasonable limit for the moment.
This commit removes redundant yarn cache by removing the old
version directories, i.e. All the directory under `~/.cache/yarn`
except `~/.cache/yarn/v6` (current version directory).
Fixes#15964.
In general, `./scripts/restart-server` will already work in any
circumstance where the server is already stopped and needs to be
started. However, it will output a couple minor warnings, and it is
not readily obvious that it *will* work correctly.
Add an alias for `restart-server` named `start-server`, for
parallelism with `stop-server`, which omits the steps of
`restart-server` which would stop the server first.
Using `supervisorctl stop all` to stop the server is not terribly
discoverable, and may stop services which are not part of Zulip
proper.
Add an explicit tool which only stops the relevant services. It also
more carefully controls the order in which services are stopped to
minimize lost requests, and maximally quiesce the server.
Locations which may be stopping _older_ versions of Zulip (without
this script) are left with using `supervisorctl stop all`.
Fixes#14959.
The path which contains all of the Zulip supervisor files changed in
3ab9b31d2f to make it easier to purge
now-unwanted supervisor configuration files. However, the paths that
the zulip upgrade process, and restart-server, look at were not
adjusted.
Fix the supervisor configuration file paths.
3314fefaec started needing `python3-yaml`, but incorrectly claimed
that it was always an indirect dependency; it is a dependency of
`ubuntu-minimal` on 20.04, but not required on 18.04 or Debian. We
cannot install it in puppet because then is definitionally too late;
it is needed at load time by `zulip-puppet-apply`.
Install `python3-yaml`, but guarded by a simple check so as to not
further slow most installs.
Fixes#18179.
The stacktraces here are seldom useful -- for the calls to
upgrade-stage-2, we know precisely what was run. For the `run`
wrapper, the output contains the command that failed, which is
sufficient to identify where in the upgrade process it was. Showing
more stacktrace below the actual error merely confuses users and
scrolls the real error off of the screen.
For installs which use the `upgrade-zulip-from-git` process, the
deployment directory is a git checkout. This means that an
administrator can, as an emergency tool, run `git revert` and similar
commands -- assuming there is a `~/.gitconfig` set up for the zulip
user.
Add commands to `scripts/lib/install` to create a `~/.gitconfig` file
at installation time. The `user.name` and `user.email` fields are set
to the hostname and passed-in `--email` value, respectively.
Fixes#18039.
0663b23d54 changed zulip-puppet-apply to
use the venv, because it began using `yaml` to parse the output of
puppet to determine if changes would happen.
However, not every install ends with a venv; notably, non-frontend
servers do not have one. Attempting to run zulip-puppet-apply on them
hence now fails.
Remove this dependency on the venv, by installing a system
python3-yaml package -- though in reality, this package is already an
indirect dependency of the system. Especially since pyyaml is quite
stable, we're not using it in any interesting way, and it does not
actually add to the dependencies, it is preferable to parsing the YAML
by hand in this instance.
When exception is raised inside an exception handler, Python 3
helpfully prints both tracebacks separated by “During handling of the
above exception, another exception occurred:”. But when we’re using
an exception handler to retry the same operation, multiple tracebacks
are just noise. Suppress the earlier one using PEP 409 syntax.

This means that in steady-state, `zulip-puppet-apply` is expected to
produce no changes or commands to execute. The verification step of
`setup-apt-repo` is quite fast, so this cleans up the output for very
little cost.
The class names need to be renamed even if we are not about to run
puppet ourselves; otherwise, deployments which rely on running puppet
themselves will still have the wrong class names.
These are respected by `urllib`, and thus also `requests`. We set
`HTTP_proxy`, not `HTTP_PROXY`, because the latter is ignored in
situations which might be running under CGI -- in such cases it may be
coming from the `Proxy:` header in the request.
Using `config_file.write()` only writes out what python stored of the
file; as such, it strips all comments and whitespace.
Use `crudini --set`, which only modifies the line whose contents are
changed.
There is only one PostgreSQL database; the "appdb" is irrelevant.
Also use "postgresql," as it is the name of the software, whereas
"postgres" the name of the binary and colloquial name. This is minor
cleanup, but enabled by the other renames in the previous commit.
The "voyager" name is non-intuitive and not significant.
`zulip::voyager` and `zulip::dockervoyager` stubs are kept for
back-compatibility with existing `zulip.conf` files.
This moves the puppet configuration closer to the "roles and profiles
method"[1] which is suggested for organizing puppet classes. Notably,
here it makes clear which classes are meant to be able to stand alone
as deployments.
Shims are left behind at the previous names, for compatibility with
existing `zulip.conf` files when upgrading.

Because the command is part of a pipe sequence, the exitcode defaults
to the last in the sequence, which is not the most important one here.
Set pipefail, which sets the exit status to the exit code of the last
program in the sequence to exit non-zero, or 0 if all succeeded. This
prevents the upgrade from barreling onward and setting
`postgres.version` improperly if the database upgrade step failed.
Fingerprinting the config is somewhat brittle -- it requires either
custom bootstrapping for old (fingerprint-less) configs, and may have
false-positives.
Since generating the config is lightweight, do so into the .tmp files,
and compare the output to the originals to determine if there are
changes to apply.
In order to both surface errors, as well as notify the user in case a
restart is necessary, we must run it twice. The `onlyif`
functionality cannot show configuration errors to the user, only
determine if the command runs or not. We thus run the command once,
judging errors as "interesting" enough to run the actual command,
whose failure will be verbose in Puppet and halt any steps that depend
on it.
Removing the `onlyif` would result in `stage_updated_sharding` showing
up in the output of every Puppet run, which obscures the important
messages it displays when an update to sharding is necessary.
Removing the `command` (e.g. making it an `echo`) would result in
removing the ability to report configuration errors. We thus have no
choice but to run it twice; this is thankfully low-overhead.
The reason higher expected_time_to_clear_backlog were allowed for queues
during "bursts" was, in simpler terms, because those queues to which
this happens, intrinsically have a higher acceptable "time until cleared"
for new events. E.g. digests_email, where it's completely fine to take a
long time to send them out after putting in the queue. And that's
already configurable without a normal/burst distinction.
Thanks to this we can remove a bunch of overly complicated, and
ultimately useless, logic.
The race condition is described in the comment block removed by this
commit. This leaves room for another, remaining race condition
that should be virtually impossible, but nevertheless it seems
worthwhile to have it documented in the code, so we put a new comment
describing it.
As a final note, this is not a new race condition,
it was hypothetically possible with the old code as well.
