This saves about a minute of downtime when using
upgrade-zulip-from-git in the default configuration.
It should also save several seconds of downtime when upgrading to a
production release tarball as well.
This indirectly causes the RabbitMQ node name for new Zulip
installations to default to zulip@localhost, which would eliminate the
persistent problems we have had

This adds a dependency on the realpath package on trusty; we could try
to remove it if needed, but given that realpath is included in
coreutils on Xenial (and presumably anything else modern), I think
it's reasonable to add it.
Fixes#1797.
Previously, success_stamp was touched whenever we used a particular
node_modules version; it makes more sense to only touch it when the
node_modules directory has actually changed.
get_package_names did not correctly strip the GitHub URLs from package
names, resulting in the "package names" for our dependencies installed
from Git being tracked with the complete sha1sum included in the name.
This meant that upgrading our virtualenvs incorrectly ended up
resorting to creating an entirely new virtualenv whenever we changed a
dependency that had previously been installed from GitHub URLs.
Now that we're no longer actively debugging this tool, there's no need
to have it print everything it's doing.
This will make `test-backend` a lot nicer to use.
generate-secrets.py now requires --development for development environment
setup or --production for production environment setup (and one of these
options is mandatory).
This solves the problem that it was somewhat easy to accidentally run
generate-secrets.py without the `-d` option while doing manual development
environment setup.
Fixes: #1911.
This is a first pass at building a framework for collecting various
stats about realms, users, streams, etc. Includes:
* New analytics tables for storing counts data
* Raw SQL queries for pulling data from zerver/models.py tables
* Aggregation functions for aggregating hourly stats into daily stats, and
aggregating user/stream level stats into realm level stats
* A management command for pulling the data
Note that counts.py was added to the linter exclude list due to errors
around %%s.
NVM takes a specific node version and installs the node package and
a corresponding compatible npm package.
We use it in a somewhat hackish way to install node/npm globally with
a pinned version, since that's how we actually want to consume node in
our development environment.
Other details:
- Travis CI now is configured to use the version of node installed by
provision; the easiest way to do this was to sabotage the existing node
installation.
- jsdom is upgraded to a current version, which both requires recent
node and also is required for the tests to pass with recent node.
This fixes running the node tests on Xenial.
Fixes#1498.

This adds a new system for copying packages from old virtualenvs that
are sufficiently similar to the new virtualenv required.
In practice, this results in a huge performance improvement for
re-provisioning Zulip development environments when the requirements
files have changed (which is the dominant performance problem with
provision today).
Fixes: #1507.
Between releases 1.3.13 and 1.4.0, local_settings.py was renamed to
prod_settings.py. The upgrade scripts were adjusted to reflect this name
change. But because the first part of the upgrade script is run with the
currently installed version's code, the symlink to /etc/zulip/settings.py is
created with the old name. This was causing upgrade-zulip-stage-2 to fail.
Now upgrade-zulip-stage-2 creates the symlink at zproject/prod_settings.py
if it doesn't already exist.
Fixes#1731.
The previous model for these Nagios checks was kinda crazy -- every
minute, we'd run a full `rabbitmctl list_consumers` for each of the
dozen+ consumers that we have, and then do the exact same parsing
logic for each to determine whether the target queue has a running
consumer to write out a state file.
Because `rabbitmctl list_consumers` takes a small amount of resources,
on systems where CPU is very limited (e.g. t2 style AWS instances),
this minor CPU wastage could be problematic.
Now we just do that `rabbitmqctl list_consumers` once per minute, and
output all the state files from a single command.
Further TODO items on this front include removing the hardcoded list
of queues.
Because rabbitmq doesn't support changing the nodename of a running
rabbitmq node, Zulip installations suffered a plague of issues where
e.g. a Zulip server would reboot, the hostname would change, and
suddenly the local rabbitmq instance being used by Zulip would stop
working.
We address this problem by using, by default, a fixed rabbitmq
nodename, but providing server administrators the option to set the
rabbitmq nodename used by Zulip however they choose.
To upgrade an existing server to use this new configuration, one will
need to add something like the following to /etc/zulip/zulip.conf:
[rabbitmq]
nodename = zulip@localhost
However, I don't believe we have the puppet code in place to make this
work correctly at initial installation without rabbitmq-server being
already installed (but off), as we can easily setup in Travis CI but I
haven't been willing to do for the installer. So for now, this just
fixes our Travis CI problems.
Fixes: #1579.
This reverts commit 3f95e567c1.
Apparently `apt-add-repository` fails periodically in CI. I suspect
this is some sort of silly networking problem, but given that all
we're saving is a few lines of code, the old version was better if
this fails basically ever.
Previously, the install script would fail if you passed various
non-default puppet rules, since the code to configure and restart
services that runs later on in the install script largely ran
unconditionally, regardless of whether the relevant service was
actually installed on the target system.
This should make the main install script reusable for installing
e.g. a dedicated Postgres server for use with Zulip.
