`--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.
If running on a stand-alone PostgreSQL server, then supervisor does
exist -- but `stop-server` is useless, and in fact cannot run because
the Zulip directory may not be readable by the `zulip` user.
Detect if this is an application front-end server by looking for
`/home/zulip/deployments`, and use the stop-server and flush-memcached
from there if it exists. The `create-db.sql` and
`terminate-psql-sessions` files are still read from the local
directory, but those already have precautions from being from a
non-world-readable directory, and are more obviously important to keep
in sync with the `create-database` script.
This package is replaced by libmagic1t64 1:5.45-3 for the Ubuntu
64-bit time_t transition, but hasn’t been deleted from the archive
yet.

Replace a separate call to subprocess, starting `node` from scratch,
with an optional standalone node Express service which performs the
rendering. In benchmarking, this reduces the overhead of a KaTeX call
from 120ms to 2.8ms. This is notable because enough calls to KaTeX in
a single message would previously time out the whole message
rendering.
The service is optional because he majority of deployments do not use
enough LaTeX to merit the additional memory usage (60Mb).
Fixes: #17425.
While this could be done previously by calling
`upgrade-zulip-from-git --remote-url /srv/zulip.git`, the explicit
argument makes this more straightforward, and avoids churning the
`refs/remotes/origin/` namespace.
A user who somehow got an empty `zulip` database, but without a
`zerver_messages` table in it, would get stuck in the installer at:
```
++ su postgres -c 'cd / && psql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -Atc '\''SELECT COUNT(*) FROM zulip.zerver_message;'\'' zulip'
ERROR: relation "zulip.zerver_message" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM zulip.zerver_message;
^
+ records=
```
Treat a failure to select from `zerver_messages` as having 0 messages,
and continue with the `DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS` / `CREATE DATABASE`
that `create-db.sql` usually does.
Fixes: #29110.
This leaves `args.filter_terms` as the raw values the user specified,
before they may have been transformed to the shape that we use for
substring matching.
Decouple the sending of client restart events from the restarting of
the servers. Restarts use the new Tornado restart-clients endpoint to
inject "restart" events into queues of clients which were loaded from
the previous Tornado process. The rate is controlled by the
`application_server.client_restart_rate`, in clients per minute, or a
flag to `restart-clients` which overrides it. Note that a web client
will also spread its restart over 5 minutes, so artificially-slow
client restarts are generally not very necessary.
Restarts of clients are deferred to until after post-deploy hooks are
run, such that the pre- and post- deploy hooks are around the actual
server restarts, even if pushing restart events to clients takes
significant time.
This flag was generally used not because we wanted to avoid
restarting Tornado, but because we wanted to avoid increasing load
the server when all of the clients were told to reload.
Since we have laid the groundwork for separately telling Tornado to
tell clients to restart, we remove the --skip-tornado flag; the next
commit will add the ability to skip client restarts.
