Installs which are upgrading to current `main`, and are upgrading for
the very first time from an install which was originally from git,
have a `/home/zulip/deployments/current` which, unlike all later
upgrades, is not a `git worktree` of `/srv/zulip.git`, but rather a
direct `git clone` of some arbitrary URL. As such, it does not have
an `upstream` remote, nor a cached `zulip-git-version` file.
This makes later attempts to determine the pre-upgrade revision of
git (for pre-deploy hooks) fail, as without a `zulip-git-version`
file, `ZULIP_VERSION` is insufficiently-specific (e.g. `6.1+git`), and
there is no guarantee the necessary tags exist either.
While we can make fresh git installs set up an `upstream` and run
`./tools/cache-zulip-git-version` going forward (see subsequent
commit), that does not address the issue for deploys which already
exist. For those, we must configure and fetch a `remote` in the old
checkout, followed by re-generating a cached `zulip-git-version`.

Ever since we started bundling the app with webpack, there’s been less
and less overlap between our ‘static’ directory (files belonging to
the frontend app) and Django’s interpretation of the ‘static’
directory (files served directly to the web).
Split the app out to its own ‘web’ directory outside of ‘static’, and
remove all the custom collectstatic --ignore rules. This makes it
much clearer what’s actually being served to the web, and what’s being
bundled by webpack. It also shrinks the release tarball by 3%.

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.

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.
`check_version` in `install-yarn` had the rather careful check that
the yarn it installed into `/usr/bin/yarn` was the yarn which was
first in the user's `$PATH`. This caused problems when the user had a
pre-existing `/usr/local/bin/yarn`; however, those problems are
limited to the `install-yarn` script itself, since the nearly all
calls to yarn from Zulip's code already hardcode the `/srv/zulip-yarn`
location, and do not depend on what is in `$PATH`.
Remove the checks in `install-yarn` that depend on the local `$PATH`,
and stop installing our `yarn` into it. We also adjust the two
callsites which did not specify the full path to `yarn`, so use
`/srv/zulip-yarn`.

If there is a syntax error in `settings.py`, `restart-server` should
provide a reasonable message about this. It did so prior to
af08bcdb3f, becausde any invocation `./manage.py` without
`--skip-checks` will verify `settings.py`, among several other checks.
After af08bcdb3f, there are no `./manage.py` calls in most restarts,
which fa77be6e6c took further.
Add an explicit `./manage.py check` in the default case.
upgrade-zulip-stage-2 overrides this by passing `--skip-checks`, for
performance. This also means that `upgrade-zulip-from-git` itself
picks up the same `--skip-checks` flag, since it inherits the same
flag parsing, though that is perhaps of dubious utility.

`postgresql-14.4` is a notable upgrade in the PostgreSQL series, as it
fixes potential database corruption from `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY`
statements which are run while rows are modified[1]. However, it also
requires an upgrade from `libllvm9` to `libllvm10`, which means it is
not installed by a mere `apt-get upgrade`.
Add the `--with-new-pkgs` flag to all of the potentially relevant
`apt-get upgrade` calls, so that this (and similar) packages are
upgraded successfully.
[1]: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/14.4/
30457ecd02 removed the `--mirror` from
initial clones, but did not add back `--bare`, which `--mirror`
implies. This leads to `/srv/zulip.git` having a working tree in it,
with a `/srv/zulip.git/.git` directory.
This is mostly harmless, and since the bug was recent, not worth
introducing additional complexity into the upgrade process to handle.
Calling `git clone --bare`, however, would clone the refs into
`refs/heads/`, not the `refs/remotes/origin/` we want. Instead, use
`git init --bare`, followed by `git remote add origin`. The remote
will be fetched by the usual `git fetch --all --prune` which is below.
While the `remote.origin.mirror` boolean being set is a very good
proxy for having been cloned with `--mirror`, is technically only used
when pushing into the remote[1]. What we care about is if fetches
from this remote will overwrite `refs/heads/`, or all of `refs/` --
the latter of which is most likely, from having run `git clone
--bare`.
Detect either of these fetch refspecs, and not the mirror flag. We
let the upgrade process error out if `remote.origin.fetch` is unset,
as that represents an unexpected state. We ignore failures to unset
the `remote.origin.mirror` flag, in case it is not set already.
[1]: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config.txt-remoteltnamegtmirror
The local `/srv/zulip.git` directory has been cloned with `--mirror`
since it was first created as a local cache in dc4b89fb08. This
made some sense at the time, since it was purely a cache of the
remote, and not a home to local branches of its own.
That changed in 3f83b843c2, when we began using `git worktree`,
which caused the `deployment-...` branches to begin being stored in
`/src/zulip.git`. This caused intermixing of local and remote
branches.
When 02582c6956 landed, the addition of `--prune` caused all but the
most recent deployment branch to be deleted upon every fetch --
leaving previous deployments with non-existent branches checked out:
```
zulip@example-prod-host:~/deployments/last$ git status
On branch deployment-2022-04-15-23-07-55

new file: .browserslistrc
new file: .codecov.yml
new file: .codespellignore
new file: .editorconfig
[...snip list of every file in repo...]
```
Switch `/srv/zulip.git` to no longer be a `--mirror` cache of the
origin. We reconfigure the remote to drop `remote.origin.mirror`, and
delete all refs under `refs/pulls/` and `refs/heads/`, while
preserving any checked-out branches. `refs/pulls/`, if the remote is
the canonical upstream, contains _tens of thousands_ of refs, so
pruning those refs trims off 20% of the repository size.
Those savings require a `git gc --prune=now`, otherwise the dangling
objects are ejected from the packfiles, which would balloon the
repository up to more than three times its previous size. Repacking
the repository is reasonable, in general, after removing such a large
number of refs -- and the `--prune=now` is safe and will not lose
data, as the `--mirror` was good at ensuring that the repository could
not be used for any local state.
The refname in the upgrade process was previously resolved from the
union of local and remote refs, since they were in the same namespace.
We instead now only resolve arguments as tags, then origin branches;
this means that stale local branches will be skipped. Users who want
to deploy from local branches can use `--remote-url=.`.
Because the `scripts/lib/upgrade-zulip-from-git` file is "stage 1" and
run from the old version's code, this will take two invocations of
`upgrade-zulip-from-git` to take effect.
Fixes#21901.
This adds a --skip-restart which makes `deployments/next` in a state
where it can be restarted into, but holds off on conducting that
restart.
This requires many of the same guarantees as `--skip-tornado`, in
terms of there being no Puppet or database schema changes between the
versions. Enforce those with `--skip-restart`, and also broaden both
flags to prevent other, less common changes which nonetheless
potentially might affect the other deploy.
Because Tornado and Django use memcached as a shared cache for
checking session information, they must agree on the prefix used to
store those values.
Subsequent commits will work to ensure that it is always _safe_ to
share that cache.
These are expensive, and moving them to one explicit call early has
considerable time savings in the critical period:

We previously used restart-server if puppet was run, as a nod to the
fact that `supervisor reread && supervisor update` will _start_
service groups that were modified, even if they were previously
stopped; this is because they are marked as `autostart=true`, which is
honored on service change.
However, upgrades want to run while there are no services running. If
puppet is run, explicitly set the server as potentially being "up", so
that a `shutdown_server()` before migrations, if they exist, will stop
services.
7c4293a7d3 switched to checking if the
service was already running, and use `supervisorctl start` if it was
not.
Unfortunately, `list_supervisor_processes("zulip-tornado:*")` did not
include `zulip-tornado`, and as such a non-sharded process was always
considered to _not_ be running, and was thus started, not restarted.
Starting an already-started service is a no-op, and thus non-sharded
tornado processes were never restarted.
The observed behaviour is that requests to the tornado process attempt
to load the user from the cache, with a different prefix from Django,
and immediately invalidate the session and eject the user back to the
login page.
Fix the `list_supervisor_processes` logic to match without the
trailing `:*`.

Since wal-g does not provide binaries for aarch64, build them from
source. While building them from source for arm64 would better ensure
that build process is tested, the build process takes 7min and 700M of
temp files, which is an unacceptable cost; we thus only build on
aarch64.
Since the wal-g build process uses submodules, which are not in the
Github export, we clone the full wal-g repository. Because the
repository is relatively small, we clone it anew on each new version,
rather than attempt to manage the remotes.
Fixes#21070.
Move database creation to immediately before database initialization;
this means it happens in a directory readable by the `zulip` user, as
well as placing it alongside similar operations. It removes the check
for the `zulip::postgresql_common` Puppet class; instead it keeps the
check for `--no-init-db`, and switches to require
`zulip::app_frontend_base`. This is a behavior change for any install
of `zulip::postgresql_common`-only classes, but that is not a common
form -- and such installs likely already pass `--no-init-db` because
they are warm spare replicas.
As a result, all non-`zulip::app_frontend_base` installs now skip
database initialization, even without `--no-init-db`. This is clearly
correct for, e.g. Redis-only hosts, and makes clearer that the
frontend, not the database host, is responsible for database
initialization.
This was added in c770bdaa3a, and we
have not added any realm-internal bots since
c770bdaa3a.
Speed up the critical period during upgrades by skipping this step.
Using an absolute `ZULIP_SCRIPTS` path when computing sha245sums
results in a set of hashes which varies based on the path that the
script is called as. This means that each deploy _always_ has

Make all paths passed to sha256sum be relative to the repository root,

Attempting to "upgrade" from `main` to 4.x should abort; Django does
not prevent running old code against the new database (though it

the migrations are entirely missing in that directory, so don't get
reversed.
Compare the list of applied migrations to the list of on-disk
migrations, and abort if there are applied migrations which are not
found on disk.

For many uses, shelling out to `supervisorctl` is going to produce

the output of `supervisorctl`, using the API directly is less brittle.
The RabbitMQ docs state ([1]):
RabbitMQ nodes and CLI tools (e.g. rabbitmqctl) use a cookie to
determine whether they are allowed to communicate with each
other. [...] The cookie is just a string of alphanumeric
characters up to 255 characters in size. It is usually stored in a
local file.
...and goes on to state (emphasis ours):
If the file does not exist, Erlang VM will try to create one with
a randomly generated value when the RabbitMQ server starts
up. Using such generated cookie files are **appropriate in
development environments only.**
The auto-generated cookie does not use cryptographic sources of
randomness, and generates 20 characters of `[A-Z]`. Because of a
semi-predictable seed, the entropy of this password is thus less than
the idealized 26^20 = 94 bits of entropy; in actuality, it is 36 bits
of entropy, or potentially as low as 20 if the performance of the
server is known.
These sizes are well within the scope of remote brute-force attacks.
On provision, install, and upgrade, replace the default insecure
20-character Erlang cookie with a cryptographically secure
255-character string (the max length allowed).

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.
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.
Installing certbot with --method=standalone means that the
configuration file will be written to assume that the standalone
method will be used going forward. Since nginx will be running,
attempts to renew the certificate will fail.
Install a temporary self-signed certificate, just to allow nginx to
start, and then follow up (after applying puppet to start nginx) with
the call to setup-certbot, which will use the webroot authenticator.
The `setup-certbot --method=standalone` option is left intact, for use
in development environments.
Fixes part of #20593; it does not address installs which were
previously improperly configured with `authenticator = standalone`.

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.
