The nginx-to-uwsig-timeout defaults to 60s, which is exactly the same
as the current "harakiri" timeout configured in uwsgi (which limits
the length a request can run before the worker is terminated). This
causes a race, where if nginx hits its 60s before uwsgi, then we
return a 504; otherwise, we get a 502.
Make the nginx-to-uwsgi timeout explicit, and shorten the "harakiri"
timeout to be explicitly less than that. Document the 60s timeout,
which all outer reverse proxies must be set to _longer than_ in order
to have proper "onion" timeouts.
In the help center and production documentation, replace links to
the "Getting your organization started with Zulip" guide to the
new "Moving to Zulip" guide.
As the guide to getting an organization started is being replaced
by the moving to zulip guide, replace links to subsections of the
old guide to instead go to dedicated articles about those topics.
This allows finer-grained access control and auditing. The links
generated also expire after one week, and the suggested configuration
is that the underlying data does as well.

Fixes the URLRedirects for "help/about-streams-and-topics" and
"help/streams-and-topics" to go to "/help/introduction-to-topics"
since "help/channels-and-topics" has been redirected to that URL.
As of 1f68726cb8, the upgrade-postgresql tool uses Python to connect
to the database used by Django, and thus requires a working venv.
There is no reason we cannot reinstall the venv with the old version
of PostgreSQL; swap the steps.
There's no need for sharding, but this allows one to spend a bit of
extra memory to reduce image-processing latency when bursts of images
are uploaded at once.
Instead of the PUSH_NOTIFICATIONS_BOUNCER_URL and
SUBMIT_USAGE_STATISTICS settings, we want servers to configure
individual ZULIP_SERVICE_* settings, while maintaining backward
compatibility with the old settings. Thus, if all the new
ZULIP_SERVICE_* are at their default False value, but the legacy
settings are activated, they need to be translated in computed_settings
to the modern way.
Updates all the https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/ links in the
docs and comments to use the new /channel/ path. All these links are
for documentation/reference purposes only and thus, can be bulk-updated.
This commit is a part of the effort to rename stream to channel.
Django has some somewhat archaic variable names for configuring SMTP
that are misleading for users not familiar with Django. Be more
explicit about the correct configuration for both implicit and
explicit TLS.

Updates descriptive text that refer to Zulip channels in the
`docs/production` files to use channel instead of stream.
Part of the stream to channel rename project.
Gitter broke their older API as part of being integrated
into Matrix.
Their announcement blog says:
"Anything left using the Gitter APIs will need to be
updated to use the Matrix API"
This commit drops the legacy Gitter import tool and
we plan to build a new one for Matrix in future.
This removes a bunch of out-of-date documentation which is better
addressed outside of Zulip, and provides more details on running a
PostgreSQL server on a separate host.
`--no-init-db` is used to silence the need for `--hostname` and
`--email` arguments; it is a proxy for "this is not a frontend host."
We would ideally like to use `has_class` to know if the user's
provided puppet classes are include an `app_frontend`, and thus
`--hostname` and `--email` are required -- but doing that requires
several other steps, and we would like this feedback to be immediate.
We make the presence of `--puppet-classes` equivalent to
`--no-init-db`, since nearly every configuration with
`--puppet-classes` does not install both a database and a frontend,
which is what is required to initialize a database.
We require a `pg_dump` whose version matches the version of the server
we are configured against (see 3a8b4b0205). Installing the latest
`postgresql-client` does not guarantee that we have such a binary
present.
This only defaults to on for local-disk backups, since they are more
disk-size-sensitive, and local accesses are quite cheap compared to
loading multiple incremental backups from S3.
