We were previously running it against the 'postgres' database, which
meant we weren't actually checking the non-clusterwide statistics.

We only want to change cases where we're talking about the hostname; HTTP
requests should still go to staging.humbughq.com for now.
Before this commit is deployed the hostname of staging.humbughq.com should
be changed to staging.zulip.net on the VM.
(the same for prod)

lb0.zulip.net will proxy connections to the relevant backend servers.
Depressingly, SSL certificate verification of the backend servers is not
performed at this time, see:

The above-mentioned bug has existed since 2011, but a CVE was not
allocated until January. The nginx developers don't seem to care. Sigh.
In any case, this is of somewhat limited impact at Humbug, since we can
have reasonable confidence that communications within AWS are not
subject to active MITMs. Passive MITM is not a concern, because the
traffic *is* in fact encrypted.

On EC2-VPC we have the ability to attach multiple addresses to one
interface, and multiple interfaces to one machine.
We should configure those interfaces whenever our system boots, and
ideally whenever networking is restarted.
This commit adds a script that is executed once eth0 is brought up that
proceeds to configure all subsequent interfaces, real and virtual.
The script is configured to be installed (along with the helper script
that calls it) on all systems via Puppet.

We switch to always specifying HostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-rsa because of a ECDSA
key bug in the Debian images which results in the fingerprint not being
printed to the console. Our config later forces RSA after we do a puppet
apply, so we might as well start using RSA from the beginning.
We start out sshing in as "admin", and delete the user (moving keys over to
"root") at the beginning.
We switch to the ops repo instead of backports, and drop the installation
of puppet from backports.
We no longer install humbug-self-signed.key on our servers; instead real
certificates must be installed manually.

Unlike other directories, we explicitly enumerate the files we want to be
present in sites-available, so the previous commit series did not actually

This saves something like 15ms on our 1000 message get_old_messages

The old bucket was versioned and didn't allow deletes. This was

I hadn't changed it previously out of paranoia in the case we had a
faulty failover and had two masters both uploading to the same place.
However, I now don't think this can happen, as recovery completion
will cause Postgres to start a new timeline.

It turns out that having a UID for one user that's 1000, and not
setting them for other users, is a disaster: puppet might create them
in the wrong order, using UID 1000, and thus breaking creating the
'humbug' user later on. The same issue applies to groups.

This only affects DEPLOYED installations.
This does not take care of removing old versions of static files from
that directory. The problem is that staticfiles is clever and
doesn't copy files that are already there, so we can't depend on
mtime for detecting which files we no longer need. Hopefully that
won't be too much of a problem for now.

Nginx's fastcgi buffers default to 8 pages (32KB). I've bumped it to 4MB,
as queries like get_old_messages take something like 130KB, and was
being ferried off to disk. In case this change to the buffers parameters isn't
enough, we explicitly set the maximum temporary file size to 0; if the fastcgi
request goes over the buffers allocated, the request will be handled synchronously,
and never go out to disk on nginx's fastcgi requests.
The manual step that must be done is to apply changes to /etc/nginx/humbug-include/app
from servers/puppet/modules/humbug/files/nginx/humbug-include/app.
The nginx process can be reloaded with `/etc/init.d/nginx restart`.
This must be done for both staging and prod.

We let supervisor create the socket for us by making humbug-django a
fcig-program. Unfortunately, supevisor doesn't support putting
fcgi-programs in groups (see
https://github.com/Supervisor/supervisor/issues/148), so we have to
restart tornado and django separately.
To deploy, copy the config files over and restart nginx and
supervisor (via stopping and then starting it because restart is
broken). I believe the automated restart as part of
update-deployment will fail because of the way supervisor treats
programs in groups. If so, after restarting supervisor, you will
also need to run restart-server manually to fill the caches and then
delete the lock directory in humbug-deployments.

The amount of process downtime during a supervisord-mediated restart
appears to be linear in the number of processes that are being
restarted. Therefore, restarting just Django and Tornado causes less
downtime than doing them at the same time as the other worker
processes.

This change will make it so that processes related to the app.humbughq.com
server are run under supervisord, which uses a state machine model to ensure
that programs are running. It also ensure process startup order.
We will need to manually switch the old way of running server (in screen) into
this new way of doing things, on both staging and prod (app_frontend.pp has been
updated appropriately). This means:
1) cp servers/puppet/modules/humbug/files/supervisord/conf.d/humbug.conf /etc/supervisord/conf.d
2) installing the supervisor package.
3) killing those while loops in that screen session
4) mkdir /var/log/humbug (as root)
5) /etc/init.d/supervisord start
6) check that nothing broke
