Backups are written every 16k of WAL archive, and by default do not
have an upper limit on how out of date they are, as `archive_timeout`
defaults to 0.
Also emphasize that these are streaming backups, not just one
point-in-time backup daily.
Fixes#21976.
Notable changes:
- Describe `X-Forwarded-For` by name.
- Switch each specific proxy to numbered steps.
- Link back to the `X-Forwarded-For` section in each proxy
- Default to using HTTPS, not HTTP, for the backend.
- Include the HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect code for all proxies; it is
important that it happen at the proxy, as the backend is unaware of
it.
- Call out Apache2 modules which are necessary.
- Specify where the dhparam.pem file can be found.
- Call out the `Host:` header forwarding necessary, and document
`USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST` if that is not possible.
- Standardize on 20 minutes of connection timeout.
Our current EC2 systems don’t have an interface named ‘eth0’, and if
they did, this script would do nothing but crash with ImportError
because we have never installed boto.utils for Python 3.
(The message of commit 2a4d851a7c made
an effort to document for future researchers why this script should
not have been blindly converted to Python 3. However, commit
2dc6d09c2a (#14278) was evidently
unresearched and untested.)

As a consequence:
• Bump minimum supported Python version to 3.8.
• Move Vagrant environment to Ubuntu 20.04, which has Python 3.8.
• Move CI frontend tests to Ubuntu 20.04.
• Move production build test to Ubuntu 20.04.
• Move 3.4 upgrade test to Ubuntu 20.04.

Zulip Server 3.0 is now about 21 months old, which is more than
18 months. Per the general policy in the "Client apps" section
below, that means it's time to drop support for older versions.
We released 4.0 in 2021-05, so around 2022-11 we can update this
further to say 4.0.
One of the links in the GSoC ideas section in docs/gsoc.md led to
a page with 0 results. This has now been replaced with the correct
link leading to a list of issues with the mentioned labels.
On the Debian 10 -> 11 upgrade, the server is running Zulip 4.x, which
lets us pass `--audit-fts-indexes` to `upgrade-zulip-stage-2` rather
than run the command as a separate step.
The reindex-textual-data tool needs the venv to be cable to run;
switch the order of the last two steps, making them now match the
Debian 9 -> 10 and 10 -> upgrades.
Ref #21296.
When the credentials are provided by dint of being run on an EC2
instance with an assigned Role, we must be able to fetch the instance
metadata from IMDS -- which is precisely the type of internal-IP
request that Smokescreen denies.
While botocore supports a `proxies` argument to the `Config` object,
this is not actually respected when making the IMDS queries; only the
environment variables are read from. See
https://github.com/boto/botocore/issues/2644
As such, implement S3_SKIP_PROXY by monkey-patching the
`botocore.utils.should_bypass_proxies` function, to allow requests to
IMDS to be made without Smokescreen impeding them.
Fixes#20715.
This revised globe icon avoids looking like a "language choice" icon
(as the previous one did), while still being recognizably Earth (and
not a disk with some things drawn on it) and not showing only North
America (a flaw with the Font Awesome 4.7 icon).
Used a derivative of icon from
https://unpkg.com/ionicons@5.5.2/dist/svg/earth.svg
with modified outline by Vlad Korobov.
Previously, it was possible to configure `wal-g` backups without
replication enabled; this resulted in only daily backups, not
streaming backups. It was also possible to enable replication without
configuring the `wal-g` backups bucket; this simply failed to work.
Make `wal-g` backups always streaming, and warn loudly if replication
is enabled but `wal-g` is not configured.
Ubuntu 22.04 pushed a post-feature-freeze update to Python 3.10,
breaking virtual environments in a Debian patch
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.10/+bug/1962791).
Also, our antique version of Tornado doesn’t work in 3.10, and we’ll
need to do some work to upgrade that.

This reverts commit b7561049b765946d612069b52330695e8489bc7f.
The bug it worked around was fixed with the previous commit’s
upgrade.

This uses the myst_heading_anchors option to automatically generate
header anchors and make Sphinx aware of them. See
https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/syntax/optional.html#auto-generated-header-anchors.
Note: to be compatible with GitHub, MyST-Parser uses a slightly
different convention for .md fragment links than .html fragment links
when punctuation is involved. This does not affect the generated
fragment links in the HTML output.
Fixes#13264.

We previously had a convention of redundantly including the directory
in relative links to reduce mistakes when moving content from one file
to another. However, these days we have a broken link checker in
test-documentation, and after #21237, MyST-Parser will check relative
links (including fragments) when you run build-docs.

This was only used for upgrading from Zulip < 1.9.0, which is no
longer possible because Zulip < 2.1.0 had no common supported
platforms with current main.
If we ever want this optimization for a future migration, it would be
better implemented using Django merge migrations.

It seems like orange is the loudest possible color to
denote a quasi-neutral-idle state, so we hope to
replace it with another color.
This commit does not change any styling.
I removed the sentences in the doc, since they are
kind of too vague to be useful. If we want to say that
the idle state is correlated with the half-orange
circles in the buddy list, then we want to say that
more specifically.
The node test was slightly inaccurate.
I added `# etc.` to try to make it clear that
these are just examples.
I removed the puppeteer example, so that we
don't lie about "run in just a few seconds".
