- Add missing link for GitHub.
- Fix broken links to Matt Ringel's blog post.
- Add link to Julia Evans blog post.
- Add section heading for "Questions Are Important."
- Rearrange some content to fit with new section heading.
With additional tweaks from tabbott:
* Avoid linking to chat.zulip.org not via our documentation.
* Avoid the CZO abbreviation.
The upstream of the `camo` repository[1] has been unmaintained for
several years, and is now archived by the owner. Additionally, it has
a number of limitations:
- It is installed as a sysinit service, which does not run under
Docker
- It does not prevent access to internal IPs, like 127.0.0.1
- It does not respect standard `HTTP_proxy` environment variables,
making it unable to use Smokescreen to prevent the prior flaw
- It occasionally just crashes, and thus must have a cron job to
restart it.
Swap camo out for the drop-in replacement go-camo[2], which has the
same external API, requiring not changes to Django code, but is more
maintained. Additionally, it resolves all of the above complaints.
go-camo is not configured to use Smokescreen as a proxy, because its
own private-IP filtering prevents using a proxy which lies within that
IP space. It is also unclear if the addition of Smokescreen would
provide any additional protection over the existing IP address
restrictions in go-camo.
go-camo has a subset of the security headers that our nginx reverse
proxy sets, and which camo set; provide the missing headers with `-H`
to ensure that go-camo, if exposed from behind some other non-nginx
load-balancer, still provides the necessary security headers.
Fixes#18351 by moving to supervisor.
Fixeszulip/docker-zulip#298 also by moving to supervisor.

This is an additional security hardening step, to make Zulip default
to preventing SSRF attacks. The overhead of running Smokescreen is
minimal, and there is no reason to force deployments to take
additional steps in order to secure themselves against SSRF attacks.
Deployments which already have a different external proxy configured
will not gain a local Smokescreen installation, and running without
Smokescreen is supported by explicitly unsetting the `host` or `port`
values in `/etc/zulip/zulip.conf`.
This helps increase the probability that folks read the guidelines for how the
chat.zulip.org community works and what streams to use before arriving there.
Fixes#19827.
Previously, our docs had links to various versions of the Django docs,
eg https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/migrations/ and
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/signals/#post-save, opening
a link to a doc with an outdated Django version would show a warning
"This document is for an insecure version of Django that is no longer
supported. Please upgrade to a newer release!".
This commit uses a search with the regex
"docs.djangoproject.com/en/([0-9].[0-9]*)/" and replaces all matches
inside the /docs/ folder with "docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/".
All the new links in this commit have been generated by the above
replace and each link has then been manually checked to ensure that
(1) the page still exists and has not been moved to a new location
(and it has been found that no page has been moved like this), (2)
that the anchor that we're linking to has not been changed (and it has
been found that this happened once, for https://docs.djangoproject.com
/en/1.8/ref/django-admin/#runserver-port-or-address-port, where
/#runserver-port-or-address-port was changed to /#runserver).
In commit f6c78a35a4 we accidentally
deleted these link definitions, probably thinking that the end of the
markdown file would be the same as the end of the rendered doc. This
broke the links `[cloning your fork of the Zulip
repository][zulip-rtd-git-cloning]` and `[connecting the Zulip
upstream repository][zulip-rtd-git-connect]`.
This commit fixes things by adding back the definitions.
This has no effect at present, but it’s documented as necessary to
enable localization of theme strings in translated output, so maybe
it’ll be relevant some day.

This block has been obsolete since at least sphinx-rtd-theme 0.2.5.
Removing it fixes the heading permalink icon in a local build to be
consistent with the one shown on Read the Docs, and has no other
effect.

Delete all the boilerplate comments and unused options generated by
the ancient version of Sphinx that originally generated this file,
leaving a file that one can realistically read. Leave some links for
those who want to read about all the options that exist.

Expands the developer tutorial 'Writing a new application feature' to
include more detail about the documentation aspects of adding a new
feature. Adds references to specific files that will be impacted and
highlights API changes as well as writing `/help` articles.
This commit includes the following changes.
- Adds the definition of the WSL acronym.
- Adds information for changing BIOS settings
in order to enable machine virtulization.
- Fixes a broken link to Microsoft WSL installation instructions.
- Adds a reminder to create a new SSH key before connecting to
GitHub.
- Removes the step to install Ubuntu. This step is now
included in the standard installation.
- Reminds the user to launch Ubuntu as and administrator.
- Switches the text editor in the example to nano from vim.
Nano is included with the wsl installation, and is easier for
most people to use than vim.
- Adds a separate step to fork the Zulip/Zulip repository.
- Adds the bash command to open VS Code and
reminds the user to install the relevant extensions.
With various formatting tweaks by tabbott.
Removes the `/day` and `/night` options from the typeahead menu while
still allowing the commands to be used. Typing `/day` and `/night`
will now suggest `/light` and `/dark`, respectively. Also changes the
`Dark mode` and `Light mode` popups that appear after using the
corresponding command.
Fixes#18318.
Due to the fact that it's not possible to run the development
environment on a t2.micro (1 GiB RAM + 1 vCPU), which is what is
available from the free tier, the fact that signing up require a
credit/debit card and can take up to 24 hours, and that it is quite
easy to unintentionally exceed the free tier resources when expanding
or upgrading, it is no longer feasible to develop on cloud9. As such,
we should not recommend it in out setup docs.
The previous link "/wsl/wsl2-install" leads to a 404 page which
recommends "/wsl/install". This commit updates the link to
"/wsl/install".
The previous link has been giving a redirect since at least May 23,
2020.
The links we have now redirect to "My groups" and not to our
Google group. Also, the RSS feed is no longer supported by Google,
so we should no longer link to it.
Fixes#19560.
It's better to explicitly list the possibilities. Also, the
recommendation regarding is_active should be changed to a strict
"Don't", as Subscription.is_user_active is a denormalized field and
flipping a user's is_active will cause inconsistent state by leaving
Subscriptions unupdated. Given that similar things can be introduced in
the future for any other flag not officially supported by having a
setter, the recommendation should "Don't" in general.
It feels like the "Same as" content was unnecessarily requiring the
user to bounce around in these cases.
(I've left the "Same as" text for the Ubuntu ones, where it's two
steps in a row to follow).
Fixes#17456.
The main tricky part has to do with what values the attribute should
have. LDAP defines a Boolean as
Boolean = "TRUE" / "FALSE"
so ideally we'd always see exactly those values. However,
although the issue is now marked as resolved, the discussion in
https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/1259 shows how this may not always be
respected - meaning it makes sense for us to be more liberal in
interpreting these values.
The support for bullseye was added in #17951
but it was not documented as bullseye was
frozen and did not have proper configuration
files, hence wasn't documented.
Since now bullseye is released as a stable
version, it's support can be documented.
