These hooks are run immediately around the critical section of the
upgrade. If the upgrade fails for preparatory reasons, the pre-deploy
hook may not be run; if it fails during the upgrade, the post-deploy
hook will not be run. Hooks are called from the CWD of the new
deploy, with arguments of the old version and the new version. If
they exit with non-0 exit code, the deploy aborts.
Similar to the previous commit, Django was responsible for setting the
Content-Disposition based on the filename, whereas the Content-Type
was set by nginx based on the filename. This difference is not
exploitable, as even if they somehow disagreed with Django's expected
Content-Type, nginx will only ever respond with Content-Types found in
`uploads.types` -- none of which are unsafe for user-supplied content.
However, for consistency, have Django provide both Content-Type and
Content-Disposition headers.
The Content-Type of user-provided uploads was provided by the browser
at initial upload time, and stored in S3; however, 04cf68b45e
switched to determining the Content-Disposition merely from the
filename. This makes uploads vulnerable to a stored XSS, wherein a
file uploaded with a content-type of `text/html` and an extension of
`.png` would be served to browsers as `Content-Disposition: inline`,
which is unsafe.
The `Content-Security-Policy` headers in the previous commit mitigate
this, but only for browsers which support them.
Revert parts of 04cf68b45e, specifically by allowing S3 to provide
the Content-Disposition header, and using the
`ResponseContentDisposition` argument when necessary to override it to
`attachment`. Because we expect S3 responses to vary based on this
argument, we include it in the cache key; since the query parameter
has dashes in it, we can't use use the helper `$arg_` variables, and
must parse it from the query parameters manually.
Adding the disposition may decrease the cache hit rate somewhat, but
downloads are infrequent enough that it is unlikely to have a
noticeable effect. We take care to not adjust the cache key for
requests which do not specify the disposition.
This was missed in 04cf68b45ebb5c03247a0d6453e35ffc175d55da; as this
content is fundamentally untrusted, it must be served with
`Content-Security-Policy` headers in order to be safe. These headers
were not provided previously for S3 content because it was served from
the S3 domain.
This mitigates content served from Zulip which could be a stored XSS,
but only in browsers which support Content-Security-Policy headers;
see subsequent commit for the complete solution.
In nginx, `location` blocks operate on the _decoded_ URI[^1]:
> The matching is performed against a normalized URI, after decoding
> the text encoded in the “%XX” form
This means that if a user-uploaded file contains characters that are
not URI-safe, the browser encodes them in UTF-8 and then URI-encodes
them -- and nginx decodes them and reassembles the original character
before running the `location ~ ^/...` match. This means that the `$2`
_is not URI-encoded_ and _may contain non-ASCII characters.
When `proxy_pass` is passed a value containing one or more variables,
it does no encoding on that expanded value, assuming that the bytes
are exactly as they should be passed to the upstream. This means that
directly calling `proxy_pass https://$1/$2` would result in sending
high-bit characters to the S3 upstream, which would rightly balk.
However, a longstanding bug in nginx's `set` directive[^2] means that
the following line:
```nginx
set $download_url https://$1/$2;
```
...results in nginx accidentally URI-encoding $1 and $2 when they are
inserted, resulting in a `$download_url` which is suitable to pass to
`proxy_pass`. This bug is only present with numeric capture
variables, not named captures; this is particularly relevant because
numeric captures are easily overridden by additional regexes
elsewhere, as subsequent commits will add.
Fixing this is complicated; nginx does not supply any way to escape
values[^3], besides a third-party module[^4] which is an undue
complication to begin using. The only variable which nginx exposes
which is _not_ un-escaped already is `$request_uri`, which contains
the very original URL sent by the browser -- and thus can't respect
any work done in Django to generate the `X-Accel-Redirect` (e.g., for
`/user_uploads/temporary/` URLs). We also cannot pass these URLs to
nginx via query-parameters, since `$arg_foo` values are not
URI-decoded by nginx, there is no function to do so[^3], and the
values must be URI-encoded because they themselves are URLs with query
parameters.
Extra-URI-encode the path that we pass to the `X-Accel-Redirect`
location, for S3 redirects. We rely on the `location` block
un-escaping that layer, leaving `$s3_hostname` and `$s3_path` as they
were intended in Django.
This works around the nginx bug, with no behaviour change.

Puppet _always_ sets the `+x` bit on directories if they have the `r`
bit set for that slot[^1]:

As such, for instance, `0640` is actually applied as `0750`.
Fix what we "want" to match what puppet is applying, by adding the `x`
bit. In none of these cases did we actually intend the directory to
not be executable.

This was last really used in d7a3570c7e, in 2013, when it was
`/home/humbug/logs`.
Repoint the one obscure piece of tooling that writes there, and remove
the places that created it.
Zulip runs puppet manually, using the command-line tool; it does not
make use of the `puppet` service which, by default, attempts to
contact a host named `puppet` every two minutes to get a manifest to
apply. These attempts can generate log spam and user confusion.
Disable and stop the `puppet` service via puppet.
When file uploads are stored in S3, this means that Zulip serves as a
302 to S3. Because browsers do not cache redirects, this means that
no image contents can be cached -- and upon every page load or reload,
every recently-posted image must be re-fetched. This incurs extra
load on the Zulip server, as well as potentially excessive bandwidth
usage from S3, and on the client's connection.
Switch to fetching the content from S3 in nginx, and serving the
content from nginx. These have `Cache-control: private, immutable`
headers set on the response, allowing browsers to cache them locally.
Because nginx fetching from S3 can be slow, and requests for uploads
will generally be bunched around when a message containing them are
first posted, we instruct nginx to cache the contents locally. This
is safe because uploaded file contents are immutable; access control
is still mediated by Django. The nginx cache key is the URL without
query parameters, as those parameters include a time-limited signed
authentication parameter which lets nginx fetch the non-public file.
This adds a number of nginx-level configuration parameters to control
the caching which nginx performs, including the amount of in-memory
index for he cache, the maximum storage of the cache on disk, and how
long data is retained in the cache. The currently-chosen figures are
reasonable for small to medium deployments.
The most notable effect of this change is in allowing browsers to
cache uploaded image content; however, while there will be many fewer
requests, it also has an improvement on request latency. The
following tests were done with a non-AWS client in SFO, a server and
S3 storage in us-east-1, and with 100 requests after 10 requests of
warm-up (to fill the nginx cache). The mean and standard deviation
are shown.
| | Redirect to S3 | Caching proxy, hot | Caching proxy, cold |
| ----------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- |
| Time in Django | 263.0 ms ± 28.3 ms | 258.0 ms ± 12.3 ms | 258.0 ms ± 12.3 ms |
| Small file (842b) | 586.1 ms ± 21.1 ms | 266.1 ms ± 67.4 ms | 288.6 ms ± 17.7 ms |
| Large file (660k) | 959.6 ms ± 137.9 ms | 609.5 ms ± 13.0 ms | 648.1 ms ± 43.2 ms |
The hot-cache performance is faster for both large and small files,
since it saves the client the time having to make a second request to
a separate host. This performance improvement remains at least 100ms
even if the client is on the same coast as the server.
Cold nginx caches are only slightly slower than hot caches, because
VPC access to S3 endpoints is extremely fast (assuming it is in the
same region as the host), and nginx can pool connections to S3 and
reuse them.
However, all of the 648ms taken to serve a cold-cache large file is
occupied in nginx, as opposed to the only 263ms which was spent in
nginx when using redirects to S3. This means that to overall spend
less time responding to uploaded-file requests in nginx, clients will
need to find files in their local cache, and skip making an
uploaded-file request, at least 60% of the time. Modeling shows a
reduction in the number of client requests by about 70% - 80%.
The `Content-Disposition` header logic can now also be entirely shared
with the local-file codepath, as can the `url_only` path used by
mobile clients. While we could provide the direct-to-S3 temporary
signed URL to mobile clients, we choose to provide the
served-from-Zulip signed URL, to better control caching headers on it,
and greater consistency. In doing so, we adjust the salt used for the
URL; since these URLs are only valid for 60s, the effect of this salt
change is minimal.
Moving `/user_avatars/` to being served partially through Django
removes the need for the `no_serve_uploads` nginx reconfiguring when
switching between S3 and local backends. This is important because a
subsequent commit will move S3 attachments to being served through
nginx, which would make `no_serve_uploads` entirely nonsensical of a
name.
Serve the files through Django, with an offload for the actual image
response to an internal nginx route. In development, serve the files
directly in Django.
We do _not_ mark the contents as immutable for caching purposes, since
the path for avatar images is hashed only by their user-id and a salt,
and as such are reused when a user's avatar is updated.
The `django-sendfile2` module unfortunately only supports a single
`SENDFILE` root path -- an invariant which subsequent commits need to
break. Especially as Zulip only runs with a single webserver, and
thus sendfile backend, the functionality is simple to inline.
It is worth noting that the following headers from the initial Django
response are _preserved_, if present, and sent unmodified to the
client; all other headers are overridden by those supplied by the
internal redirect[^1]:
- Content-Type
- Content-Disposition
- Accept-Ranges
- Set-Cookie
- Cache-Control
- Expires
As such, we explicitly unset the Content-type header to allow nginx to
set it from the static file, but set Content-Disposition and
Cache-Control as we want them to be.

As uploads are a feature of the application, not of a generic nginx
deployment, move them into the `zulip::app_frontend_base` class. This
is purely for organizational clarity -- we do not support deployments
with has `zulip::nginx` but not `zulip::app_frontend_base`.
‘exit’ is pulled in for the interactive interpreter as a side effect
of the site module; this can be disabled with python -S and shouldn’t
be relied on.
Also, use the NoReturn type where appropriate.

A number of autossh connections are already left open for
port-forwarding Munin ports; autossh starts the connections and
ensures that they are automatically restarted if they are severed.
However, this represents a missed opportunity. Nagios's monitoring
uses a large number of SSH connections to the remote hosts to run
commands on them; each of these connections requires doing a complete
SSH handshake and authentication, which can have non-trivial network
latency, particularly for hosts which may be located far away, in a
network topology sense (up to 1s for a no-op command!).
Use OpenSSH's ability to multiplex multiple connections over a single
socket, to reuse the already-established connection. We leave an
explicit `ControlMaster no` in the general configuration, and not
`auto`, as we do not wish any of the short-lived Nagios connections to
get promoted to being a control socket if the autossh is not running
for some reason.
We enable protocol-level keepalives, to give a better chance of the
socket being kept open.
These hosts were excluded from `zulipconf_nagios_hosts` in
8cff27f67d, because it was replicating the previously hard-coded
behaviour exactly. That behaviour was an accident of history, in that
4fbe201187 and before had simply not monitored hosts of this class.
There is no reason to not add SSH tunnels and munin monitoring for
these hosts; stop skipping them.

Some legitimate requests in Zulip can take more than 20s to be
processed, and we don't have a current problem where having a 20s
limit here is preventing a problem.
The `needrestart` tool added in 22.04 is useful in terms of listing
which services may need to be restarted to pick up updated libraries.
However, it prompts about the current state of services needing
restart for *every* subsequent `apt-get upgrade`, and defaulting core
services to restarting requires carefully manually excluding them
every time, at risk of causing an unscheduled outage.
Build a list of default-off services based on the list in
unattended-upgrades.
The default value in uwsgi is 4k; receiving more than this amount from
nginx leads to a 502 response (though, happily, the backend uwsgi does not
terminate).
ab18dbfde5 originally increased it from the unstated uwsgi default
of 4096, to 8192; b1da797955 made it configurable, in order to allow
requests from clients with many cookies, without causing 502's[1].
nginx defaults to a limitation of 1k, with 4 additional 8k header
lines allowed[2]; any request larger than that returns a response of
`400 Request Header Or Cookie Too Large`. The largest header size
theoretically possible from nginx, by default, is thus 33k, though
that would require packing four separate headers to exactly 8k each.
Remove the gap between nginx's limit and uwsgi's, which could trigger
502s, by removing the uwsgi configurability, and setting a 64k size in
uwsgi (the max allowable), which is larger than nginx's default limit.
uWSGI's documentation of `buffer-size` ([3], [4]) also notes that "It
is a security measure too, so adapt to your app needs instead of
maxing it out." Python has no security issues with buffers of 64k,
and there is no appreciable memory footprint difference to having a
larger buffer available in uwsgi.

This check loads Django, and as such must be run as the zulip user.
Repeat the same pattern used elsewhere in nagios, of writing a state
file, which is read by `check_cron_file`.
Replication checks should only run on primary and replicas, not
standalone hosts; while `autovac_freeze` currently only runs on
primary hosts, it functions identically on replicas, and is fine to
run there.
Make `autovac_freeze` run on all `postgresql` hosts, and make
standalone hosts no longer `postgres_primary`, so they do not fail the
replication tests.
These style of checks just look for matching process names using
`check_remote_arg_string`, which dates to 8edbd64bb8. These were
added because the original two (`missedmessage_emails` and
`slow_queries`) did not create consumers, instead polling for events.
Switch these to checking the queue consumer counts that the
`check-rabbitmq-consumers` check is already writing out. Since the
`missedmessage_emails` was _already_ checked via the consumer check, a
duplicate is not added.
Even the `pageable_servers` group did not page for high load -- in
part because what was "high" depends on the servers. Set slightly
better limits based on server role.
`zmirror` itself was `zmirror_main` + `zmirrorp` but was unused; we
consistently just use the term `zmirror` for the non-personals server,
so use it as the hostgroup name.
The Redis nagios checks themselves are done against `redis` +
`frontends` groups, so there is no need to misleadingly place
`frontends` in the `redis` hostgroup.
5abf4dee92 made this distinction, then multitornado_frontends was
never used; the singletornado_frontends alerting worked even for the
multiple-Tornado instances.
Remove the useless and misleading distinction.
Even if Django and PostgreSQL are on the same host, the `nagios` user
may lack permissions to read accessory configuration files needed to
load the Django configuration (e.g. authentication keys).
Catch those failures, and switch to loading the required settings from
`/etc/zulip/zulip.conf`.
Without this, uwsgi does not release the GIL before going back into
`epoll_wait` to wait for the next request. This results in any
background threads languishing, unserviced.[1]
Practically, this results in Sentry background reporter threads timing

traffic, as in those significant time is spent in `epoll_wait`. This
is seen in logs as:

the warning is not printed without lazy-loading.

This allows system-level configuration to be done by `apt-get install`

While Zulip doesn't actively use any of these, they likely don't do
any harm to simply be loaded -- they are loaded into every nginx by
default.
Having the `modules-enabled` include allows easier extension of the
server, as neither of the existing wildcard
includes (`/etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf` and

The top-level `chdir` setting only does the chdir once, at initial

that `uwsgi` pick up the _new_ value of the `current` directory, and
start new workers in that directory -- as currently implemented,
rolling restarts cannot restart into newer versions of the code, only
the same one in which they were started.
Use [configurable hooks][1] to execute the `chdir` after every fork.

code, by default the RabbitMQ configuration on Debian and Ubuntu
leaves it publicly accessible, with weak credentials.
The configuration file that Zulip writes, while effective, is only
written _after_ the package has been installed and the service
started, which leaves the port exposed until RabbitMQ or system
restart.
Ensure that rabbitmq's `/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config` is written
before rabbitmq is installed or starts, and that changes to that file
trigger a restart of the service, such that the ports are only ever
bound to localhost. This does not mitigate existing installs, since
it does not force a rabbitmq restart.

This is required in order to lock down the RabbitMQ port to only
listen on localhost. If the nodename is `rabbit@hostname`, in most
circumstances the hostname will resolve to an external IP, which the
rabbitmq port will not be bound to.
Installs which used `rabbit@hostname`, due to RabbitMQ having been
installed before Zulip, would not have functioned if the host or
RabbitMQ service was restarted, as the localhost restrictions in the
RabbitMQ configuration would have made rabbitmqctl (and Zulip cron
jobs that call it) unable to find the rabbitmq server.
The previous commit ensures that configure-rabbitmq is re-run after
the nodename has changed. However, rabbitmq needs to be stopped
before `rabbitmq-env.conf` is changed; we use an `onlyif` on an `exec`
to print the warning about the node change, and let the subsequent
config change and notify of the service and configure-rabbitmq to
complete the re-configuration.
`/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf` sets the nodename; anytime the
nodename changes, the backing database changes, and this requires
re-creating the rabbitmq users and permissions.
Trigger this in puppet by running configure-rabbitmq after the file
changes.
The Erlang `epmd` daemon listens on port 4369, and provides
information (without authentication) about which Erlang processes are
listening on what ports. This information is not itself a
vulnerability, but may provide information for remote attackers about
what local Erlang services (such as `rabbitmq-server`) are running,
and where.
`epmd` supports an `ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS` environment variable to limit
which interfaces it binds on. While this environment variable is set
in `/etc/default/rabbitmq-server`, Zulip unfortunately attempts to
start `epmd` using an explicit `exec` block, which ignores those
settings.
Regardless, this lack of `ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS` variable only controls
`epmd`'s startup upon first installation. Upon reboot, there are two
ways in which `epmd` might be started, neither of which respect
`ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS`:
- On Focal, an `epmd` service exists and is activated, which uses
systemd's configuration to choose which interfaces to bind on, and
thus `ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS` is irrelevant.
- On Bionic (and Focal, due to a broken dependency from
`rabbitmq-server` to `epmd@` instead of `epmd`, which may lead to
the explicit `epmd` service losing a race), `epmd` is started by
`rabbitmq-server` when it does not detect a running instance.
Unfortunately, only `/etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server` would respects
`/etc/default/rabbitmq-server` -- and it defers the actual startup
to using systemd, which does not pass the environment variable
down. Thus, `ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS` is also irrelevant here.
We unfortunately cannot limit `epmd` to only listening on localhost,
due to a number of overlapping bugs and limitations:
- Manually starting `epmd` with `-address 127.0.0.1` silently fails
to start on hosts with IPv6 disabled, due to an Erlang bug ([1],
[2]).
- The dependencies of the systemd `rabbitmq-server` service can be
fixed to include the `epmd` service, and systemd can be made to
bind to `127.0.0.1:4369` and pass that socket to `epmd`, bypassing
the above bug. However, the startup of this service is not
guaranteed, because it races with other sources of `epmd` (see
below).
- Any process that runs `rabbitmqctl` results in `epmd` being started
if one is not currently running; these instances do not respect any
environment variables as to which addresses to bind on. This is
also triggered by `service rabbitmq-server status`, as well as
various Zulip cron jobs which inspect the rabbitmq queues. As
such, it is difficult-to-impossible to ensure that some other
`epmd` process will not win the race and open the port on all
interfaces.
Since the only known exposure from leaving port 4369 open is
information that rabbitmq is running on the host, and the complexity
of adjusting this to only bind on localhost is high, we remove the
setting which does not address the problem, and document that the port
is left open, and should be protected via system-level or
network-level firewalls.

mochiweb was renamed to web_dispatch in RabbitMQ 3.8.0, and the plugin
is not enabled. Nor does this control the management interface, which
would listen on port 15672.
This addresses the problems mentioned in the previous commit, but for
existing installations which have `authenticator = standalone` in
their configurations.
This reconfigures all hostnames in certbot to use the webroot
authenticator, and attempts to force-renew their certificates.
Force-renewal is necessary because certbot contains no way to merely
update the configuration. Let's Encrypt allows for multiple extra
renewals per week, so this is a reasonable cost.
Because the certbot configuration is `configobj`, and not
`configparser`, we have no way to easily parse to determine if webroot
is in use; additionally, `certbot certificates` does not provide this
information. We use `grep`, on the assumption that this will catch
nearly all cases.
It is possible that this will find `authenticator = standalone`
certificates which are managed by Certbot, but not Zulip certificates.
These certificates would also fail to renew while Zulip is running, so
switching them to use the Zulip webroot would still be an improvement.
Fixes#20593.
As a consequence:
• Bump minimum supported Python version to 3.7.
• Move Vagrant environment to Debian 10, which has Python 3.7.
• Move CI frontend tests to Debian 10.
• Move production build test to Debian 10.

Doing so requires protecting /metrics from direct access when proxied
through nginx. If camo is placed on a separate host, the equivalent
/metrics URL may need to be protected.
See https://github.com/cactus/go-camo#metrics for details on the
statistics so reported. Note that 5xx responses are _expected_ from
go-camo's statistics, as it returns 502 status code when the remote
server responds with 500/502/503/504, or 504 when the remote host
times out.
Because Camo includes logic to deny access to private subnets, routing
its requests through Smokescreen is generally not necessary. However,
it may be necessary if Zulip has configured a non-Smokescreen exit
proxy.
Default Camo to using the proxy only if it is not Smokescreen, with a
new `proxy.enable_for_camo` setting to override this behaviour if need
be. Note that that setting is in `zulip.conf` on the host with Camo
installed -- not the Zulip frontend host, if they are different.
Fixes: #20550.
For `no_serve_uploads`, `http_only`, which previously specified
"non-empty" to enable, this tightens what values are true. For
`pgroonga` and `queue_workers_multiprocess`, this broadens the
possible values from `enabled`, and `true` respectively.
Restarting the uwsgi processes by way of supervisor opens a window
during which nginx 502's all responses. uwsgi has a configuration
called "chain reloading" which allows for rolling restart of the uwsgi
processes, such that only one process at once in unavailable; see
uwsgi documentation ([1]).
The tradeoff is that this requires that the uwsgi processes load the
libraries after forking, rather than before ("lazy apps"); in theory
this can lead to larger memory footprints, since they are not shared.
In practice, as Django defers much of the loading, this is not as much
of an issue. In a very basic test of memory consumption (measured by
total memory - free - caches - buffers; 6 uwsgi workers), both
immediately after restarting Django, and after requesting `/` 60 times
with 6 concurrent requests:
| Non-lazy | Lazy app | Difference
------------------+------------+------------+-------------
Fresh | 2,827,216 | 2,870,480 | +43,264
After 60 requests | 3,332,284 | 3,409,608 | +77,324
..................|............|............|.............
Difference | +505,068 | +539,128 | +34,060
That is, "lazy app" loading increased the footprint pre-requests by
43MB, and after 60 requests grew the memory footprint by 539MB, as
opposed to non-lazy loading, which grew it by 505MB. Using wsgi "lazy
app" loading does increase the memory footprint, but not by a large
percentage.
The other effect is that processes may be served by either old or new
code during the restart window. This may cause transient failures
when new frontend code talks to old backend code.
Enable chain-reloading during graceful, puppetless restarts, but only
if enabled via a zulip.conf configuration flag.
Fixes#2559.

Fix another tidy error caused by 1e4e6a09af23; as also noted in
f9a39b6703, these resources are necessary such that tidy does not
cleanup of smokescreen, and then force a recompilation of it again.
1e4e6a09af removed the resources for the unpacked directory, on the
argument that they were unnecessary. However, the directory (or file,
see below) that is unpacked must be managed, or it will be tidied on
the next puppet apply.
Add back the resource for `$dir`, but mark it `ensure => present`, to
support tarballs which only unpack to a single file (e.g. wal-g).
The homedir of a user cannot be changed if any processes are running
as them, so having it change over time as upgrades happen will break
puppet application, as the old grafana process under supervisor will
effectively lock changes to the user's homedir.
Unfortunately, that means that this change will thus fail to
puppet-apply unless `supervisorctl stop grafana` is run first, but
there's no way around that.
In the event that extracting doesn't produce the binary we expected it
to, all this will do is create an _empty_ file where we expect the
binary to be. This will likely muddle debugging.
Since the only reason the resourfce was made in the first place was to
make dependencies clear, switch to depending on the External_Dep
itself, when such a dependency is needed.
ab130ceb35 added a dependency on scripts.lib.zulip_tools; however,
check_postgresql_replication_lag is run on hosts which do not have a
zulip tree installed.
Inline the simple functions that were imported.
It should not use the configured zulip username, but should instead
pull from the login user (likely `nagios`), or an explicit alternate
provided PostgreSQL username. Failure to do so results in Nagios
failures because the `nagios` login does not have permissions to
authenticated the `zulip` PostgreSQL user.
This requires CI changes, as the install tests install as the `zulip`
login username, which allowed Nagios tests to pass previously; with
the custom database and username, however, they must be passed to
process_fts_updates explicitly when validating the install.
The Redis configuration, and the systemd file for it, assumes there
will be a pid file written to `/var/run/redis/redis.pid`, but
`/var/run/redis` is not created during installation.
Create `/run/redis`; as `/var/run` is a symlink to `/run` on systemd
systems, this is equivalent to `/var/run/redis`.
The systemd config file installed by the `memcached` package assumes
there will be a PID written to `/run/memcached/memcached.pid`. Since we
override `memcached.conf`, we have omitted the line that writes out the
PID to this file.
Systemd is smart enough to not _need_ the PID file to start up the
service correctly, but match the configuration. We create the
directory since the package does not do so. It is created as
`/run/memcached` and not `/var/run/memcached` because `/var/run` is a
symlink to `/run`.
The certbot package installs its own systemd timer (and cron job,
which disabled itself if systemd is enabled) which updates
certificates. This process races with the cron job which Zulip
installs -- the only difference being that Zulip respects the
`certbot.auto_renew` setting, and that it passes the deploy hook.
This means that occasionally nginx would not be reloaded, when the
systemd timer caught the expiration first.
Remove the custom cron job and `certbot-maybe-renew` script, and
reconfigure certbot to always reload nginx after deploying, using
certbot directory hooks.
Since `certbot.auto_renew` can't have an effect, remove the setting.
In turn, this removes the need for `--no-zulip-conf` to
`setup-certbot`. `--deploy-hook` is similarly removed, as running
deploy hooks to restart nginx is now the default; pass
`--no-directory-hooks` in standalone mode to not attempt to reload
nginx. The other property of `--deploy-hook`, of skipping symlinking
into place, is given its own flog.
PostgreSQL 11 and below used a configuration file names
`recovery.conf` to manage replicas and standbys; support for this was
removed in PostgreSQL 12[1], and the configuration parameters were
moved into the main `postgresql.conf`.
Add `zulip.conf` settings for the primary server hostname and
replication username, so that the complete `postgresql.conf`
configuration on PostgreSQL 14 can continue to be managed, even when
replication is enabled. For consistency, also begin writing out the
`recovery.conf` for PostgreSQL 11 and below.
In PostgreSQL 12 configuration and later, the `wal_level =
hot_standby` setting is removed, as `hot_standby` is equivalent to
`replica`, which is the default value[2]. Similarly, the
`hot_standby = on` setting is also the default[3].
Documentation is added for these features, and the commentary on the
"Export and Import" page referencing files under `puppet/zulip_ops/`
is removed, as those files no longer have any replication-specific
configuration.

[2]: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/runtime-config-wal.html#GUC-WAL-LEVEL
[3]: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/runtime-config-replication.html#GUC-HOT-STANDBY
These are both unsupported by PostgreSQL itself, as well as by Zulip;
the removal of Ubuntu Xenial and Debian Stretch support in Zulip 3.0
removed the requirement for PostgreSQL 9.6, and the previous versions
date back yet farther.
Writing the secret to the supervisor configuration file makes changes
to the secret requires a zulip-puppet-apply to take hold. The Docker
image is constructed to avoid having to run zulip-puppet-apply on
startup, and indeed cannot run zulip-puppet-apply after having
configured secrets, as it has replaced the zulip.conf file with a
symlink, for example. This means that camo gets the static secret
that was built into the image, and not the one regenerated on first
startup.
Read the camo secret at process startup time. Because this pattern is
likely common with "12-factor" applications which can read from
environment variables, write a generic tool to map secrets to
environment variables before exec'ing a binary, and use that for Camo.
The default in the previous commit, inherited from camo, was to bind
to 0.0.0.0:9292. In standalone deployments, camo is deployed on the
same host as the nginx reverse proxy, and as such there is no need to
open it up to other IPs.
Make `zulip::camo` take an optional parameter, which allows overriding
it in puppet, but skips a `zulip.conf` setting for it, since it is
unlikely to be adjust by most users.
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.

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`.
In a subsequent commit, we intend to include it from
`zulip::app_frontend_base`, which is a layering violation if it only
exists in the form of a profile.
This will cause the output binary path to be sensitive to golang
version, causing it to be rebuilt on new golang, and an updated
supervisor config file written out, and thus supervisor also
restarted.
As with the previous commit for `/srv/golang`, we have the custom of
namespacing things under `/srv` with `zulip-` to help ensure that we
play nice with anything else that happens to be on the host.

It is possible to be in recovery, and downloading WAL logs from
archives, and not yet be replicating. If one only checks the
streaming log status, it reports as "no replicas" which is technically
accurate but not a useful summation of the state of the replica.
The `cron` resource places its contents in the user's crontab, which
makes it unlike every other cron job that Zulip installs.
Switch to using `/etc/cron.d` files, like all other cron jobs.
TOR users are legitimate users of the system; however, that system can
also be used for abuse -- specifically, by evading IP-based
rate-limiting.
For the purposes of IP-based rate-limiting, add a
RATE_LIMIT_TOR_TOGETHER flag, defaulting to false, which lumps all
requests from TOR exit nodes into the same bucket. This may allow a
TOR user to deny other TOR users access to the find-my-account and
new-realm endpoints, but this is a low cost for cutting off a
significant potential abuse vector.
If enabled, the list of TOR exit nodes is fetched from their public
endpoint once per hour, via a cron job, and cached on disk. Django
processes load this data from disk, and cache it in memcached.
Requests are spared from the burden of checking disk on failure via a
circuitbreaker, which trips of there are two failures in a row, and
only begins trying again after 10 minutes.
Since Supervisor 4, which is installed on Ubuntu 20.04 and Debian 11,
`supervisorctl status` returns exit code 3 if any of the
supervisor-controlled processes are not running.
Using `supervisorctl status` as the Puppet `status` command for
Supervisor leads to unnecessarily trying to "start" a Supervisor
process which is already started, but happens to have one or more of
its managed processes stopped. This is an unnecessary no-op in
production environments, but in docker-init enviroments, such as in
CI, attempting to start the process a second time is an error.
Switch to checking if supervisor is running by way of sysv init. This
fixes the potential error in CI, as well as eliminates unnecessary
"starts" of supervisor when it was already running -- a situation
which made zulip-puppet-apply not idempotent:
```

In the series of migrations to this tool's configuration to support
specifying an arbitrary database name
(e.g. c17f502bb0), we broke support for
running process_fts_updates on the application server, connected to a
remote database server. That workflow is used by docker-zulip and
presumably other settings like Amazon RDS.
The fix is to import the Zulip virtualenv (if available) when running
on an application server. This is better than just supporting this
case, since both docker-zulip and an Amazon RDS database are setting
where it would be inconvenient to run process-fts-updates directly on
the database server. (In the former case, because we want to avoid
having a strong version dependency on the postgres container).
Details are available in this conversation:
https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/49-development-help/topic/Logic.20in.20process_fts_updates.20seems.20to.20be.20broken/near/1251894
Thanks to Erik Tews for reporting and help in debugging this issue.
We previously used `zulip-puppet-apply` with a custom config file,
with an updated PostgreSQL version but more limited set of
`puppet_classes`, to pre-create the basic settings for the new cluster
before running `pg_upgradecluster`.
Unfortunately, the supervisor config uses `purge => true` to remove
all SUPERVISOR configuration files that are not included in the puppet
configuration; this leads to it removing all other supervisor
processes during the upgrade, only to add them back and start them
during the second `zulip-puppet-apply`.
It also leads to `process-fts-updates` not being started after the
upgrade completes; this is the one supervisor config file which was
not removed and re-added, and thus the one that is not re-started due
to having been re-added. This was not detected in CI because CI added
a `start-server` command which was not in the upgrade documentation.
Set a custom facter fact that prevents the `purge` behaviour of the
supervisor configuration. We want to preserve that behaviour in
general, and using `zulip-puppet-apply` continues to be the best way
to pre-set-up the PostgreSQL configuration -- but we wish to avoid
that behaviour when we know we are applying a subset of the puppet
classes.
Since supervisor configs are no longer removed and re-added, this
requires an explicit start-server step in the instructions after the
upgrades complete. This brings the documentation into alignment with
what CI is testing.
These checks suffer from a couple notable problems:
- They are only enabled on staging hosts -- where they should never
be run. Since ef6d0ec5ca, these supervisor processes are only
run on one host, and never on the staging host.
- They run as the `nagios` user, which does not have appropriate
permissions, and thus the checks always fail. Specifically,
`nagios` does not have permissions to run `supervisorctl`, since
the socket is owned by the `zulip` user, and mode 0700; and the
`nagios` user does not have permission to access Zulip secrets to
run `./manage.py print_email_delivery_backlog`.
Rather than rewrite these checks to run on a cron as zulip, and check
those file contents as the nagios user, drop these checks -- they can
be rewritten at a later point, or replaced with Prometheus alerting,
and currently serve only to cause always-failing Nagios checks, which
normalizes alert failures.
Leave the files installed if they currently exist, rather than
cluttering puppet with `ensure => absent`; they do no harm if they are
left installed.
In an initial install, the following is a potential rule ordering:
```
Notice: /Stage[main]/Zulip::Supervisor/File[/etc/supervisor/conf.d/zulip]/ensure: created
Notice: /Stage[main]/Zulip::Supervisor/File[/etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf]/content: content changed '{md5}99dc7e8a1178ede9ae9794aaecbca436' to '{md5}7ef9771d2c476c246a3ebd95fab784cb'

Notice: /Stage[main]/Zulip::Supervisor/Service[supervisor]/ensure: ensure changed 'stopped' to 'running'
```
The last line is misleading -- supervisor was already started by the
`supervisor-restart` process on the third line. As can be shown with
`zulip-puppet-apply --debug`, the last line just installs supervisor
to run on startup, using `systemctl`:
```
Debug: Executing: 'supervisorctl status'
Debug: Executing: '/usr/bin/systemctl unmask supervisor'
Debug: Executing: '/usr/bin/systemctl start supervisor'
```
This means the list of processes started by supervisor depends
entirely on which configuration files were successfully written out by
puppet before the initial `supervisor-restart` ran. Since
`zulip_db.conf` is written later than the rest, the initial install
often fails to start the `process-fts-updates` process. In this
state, an explicit `supervisorctl restart` or `supervisorctl reread &&
supervisorctl update` is required for the service to be found and
started.
Reorder the `supervisor-restart` exec to only run after the service is
started. Because all supervisor configuration files have a `notify`
of the service, this forces the ordering of:
```
(package) -> (config files) -> (service) -> (optional restart)
```
On first startup, this will start and them immediately restart
supervisor, which is unfortunate but unavoidable -- and not terribly
relevant, since the database will not have been created yet, and thus
most processes will be in a restart loop for failing to connect to it.
The sysvinit script for supervisor has a long-standing bug where
`/etc/init.d/supervisor restart` stops but does not then start the
supervisor process.
Work around this by making restart then try to start, and return if it
is currently running.
Not having the package installed will cause startup failures in
`process_fts_updates`; ensure that we've installed the package before
we potentially start the service.
93f62b999e removed the last file in
puppet/zulip/files/nagios_plugins/zulip_nagios_server, which means the
singular rule in zulip::nagios no longer applies cleanly.
Remove the `zulip::nagios` class, as it is no longer needed.
An organization with at most 5 users that is behind on payments isn't
worth spending time on investigating the situation.
For larger organizations, we likely want somewhat different logic that
at least does not void invoices.
Staging and other hosts that are `zulip::app_frontend_base` but not
`zulip::app_frontend_once` do not have a
/etc/supervisor/conf.d/zulip/zulip-once.conf and as such do not have
`zulip_deliver_scheduled_emails` or `zulip_deliver_scheduled_messages`
and thus supervisor will fail to reload.
Making the contents of `zulip-workers` contingent on if the server is
_also_ a `-once` server is complicated, and would involve using Concat
fragments, which severely limit readability.
Instead, expel those two from `zulip-workers`; this is somewhat
reasonable, since they are use an entirely different codepath from
zulip_events_*, using the database rather than RabbitMQ for their
queuing.
This is similar cleanup to 3ab9b31d2f, but only affects zulip_ops
services; it serves to ensure that any of these services which are no
longer enabled are automatically removed from supervisor.
Note that this will cause a supervisor restart on all affected hosts,
which will restart all supervisor services.
Failure to do this results in:
```
psql: error: failed to connect to `host=localhost user=zulip database=zulip`: failed to write startup message (x509: certificate is valid for [redacted], not localhost)
```
Host-based md5 auth for 127.0.0.1 must be removed from `pg_hba.conf`,
otherwise password authentication is preferred over certificate-based
authentication for localhost.
Nagios refuses to allow any modifications with use_authentication off;
re-enabled "authentication" but set a default user, which (by way of
the `*` permissions in 359f37389a) is allowed to take all actions.
This requires switching to a reverse tunnel for the auth connection,
with the side effect that the `zulip_ops::teleport::node` manifest can
be applied on servers anywhere in the Internet; they do not need to
have any publicly-available open ports.
This means that services will only open their ports if they are
actually run, without having to clutter rules.v4 with a log of `if`
statements.
This does not go as far as using `puppetlabs/firewall`[1] because that
would represent an additional DSL to learn; raw IPtables sections can
easily be inserted into the generated iptables file via
`concat::fragment` (either inline, or as a separate file), but config
can be centralized next to the appropriate service.
