The manage.py change effectively switches the Zulip production server
to use the virtualenv, since all of our supervisord commands for the
various Python services go through manage.py.
Additionally, this migrates the production scripts and Nagios plugins
to use the virtualenv as well.
This results in a substantial performance improvement for all of
Zulip's backend templates.
Changes in templates:
- Change `block.super` to `super()`.
- Remove `load` tag because Jinja2 doesn't support it.
- Use `minified_js()|safe` instead of `{% minified_js %}`.
- Use `compressed_css()|safe` instead of `{% compressed_css %}`.
- `forloop.first` -> `loop.first`.
- Use `{{ csrf_input }}` instead of `{% csrf_token %}`.
- Use `{# ... #}` instead of `{% comment %}`.
- Use `url()` instead of `{% url %}`.
- Use `_()` instead of `{% trans %}` because in Jinja `trans` is a block tag.
- Use `{% trans %}` instead of `{% blocktrans %}`.
- Use `{% raw %}` instead of `{% verbatim %}`.
Changes in tools:
- Check for `trans` block in `check-templates` instead of `blocktrans`
Changes in backend:
- Create custom `render_to_response` function which takes `request` objects
instead of `RequestContext` object. There are two reasons to do this:
1. `RequestContext` is not compatible with Jinja2
2. `RequestContext` in `render_to_response` is deprecated.
- Add Jinja2 related support files in zproject/jinja2 directory. It
includes a custom backend and a template renderer, compressors for js
and css and Jinja2 environment handler.
- Enable `slugify` and `pluralize` filters in Jinja2 environment.
Fixes#620.
In theory these should be the same, but in misconfigured environments
(such at Travis CI) where /etc/hosts has multiple entries for
"localhost", 127.0.0.1 is safer than "localhost".
Camo is a caching image proxy, used in Zulip to avoid mixed-content
warnings by proxying HTTP image content over HTTPS. We've been using
it in zulip.com production for years; this change makes it available
in standalone Zulip deployments.
This fixes an issue where this worker wasn't even being installed
properly in a way that sets us up for doing further reorganization of
the Zulip Nagios plugins.
cd2348e9ae broke installing Zulip in
production since it didn't correctly update the puppet configuration
to call the process_queue script using the new argument format.
This commit isn't ideal in that I'd prefer to not require updating
puppet in sync with the actual running code, but we don't have a great
mechanism for doing that.
Fixes#586.
Previously, even though the Zulip digest emails were documented in the
settings, the cron job to run the script that actually sends the daily
digest emails wasn't included in the non-zulip.com part of the Zulip
production distribution. The overall consequence is that digest
emails didn't work for non-zulip.com users. This fixes that issue by
moving that cron job into the zulip manifests.
[commit message details expanded by tabbott]
Apparently, previously nginx was only compressing text/html content.
This should result in a substantial savings in network traffic -- some
quick testing I did found it cut the total data transferred for
loading a logged-in zulip.com instance from 3MB to 1.2MB.
If running on Django 1.8, running these plugins would die with the below. A fix
for this is to run `django.setup()` before interacting with Django.

Ideally some of these templates should really point to the

good start.
Exceptions:
* Where to report security incidents
* MIT Zephyr-related pages
* zulip.com terms and conditions
Previously, in Zulip voyager, the cron jobs would spew error emails
every time they ran, due to this directory not existing.
This also tightens the permissions for the folder and avoids needing
to create a nagios user for Zulip voyager; it should be writeable by
both root and the zulip user and world-readable (and thus readable by
the Nagios user on zulip.com systems).
Previously our redis config was built for precise.
Synced from redis-server 2:2.8.4-2 plus our one change, which is
disabling saving to disk, so just put that at the bottom for maximum
obviousness.
I wish there was a better way to represent the fact that this is all
we're doing, since this will make life more difficult for running on
precise as well.

This is in some ways a regression, but because we don't have

Before we deploy this commit, we must migrate the data from the staging redis
server to the new, dedicated redis server. The steps for doing so are the
following:
* Remove the zulip::redis puppet class from staging's zulip.conf
* ssh once from staging to redis-staging.zulip.net so that the host key is known
* Create a tunnel from redis0.zulip.net to staging.zulip.net
* zulip@redis0:~$ ssh -N -L 127.0.0.1:6380:127.0.0.1:6379 -o ServerAliveInterval=30 -o ServerAliveCountMax=3 staging.zulip.net
* Set the redis instance on redis0.zulip.net to replicate the one on staging.zulip.net
* redis 127.0.0.1:6379> slaveof 127.0.0.1 6380
* Stop the app on staging
* Stop redis-server on staging
* Promote the redis server on redis0.zulip.net to a master
* redis 127.0.0.1:6379> slaveof no one
* Do a puppet apply at this commit on staging (this will bring up the tunnel to redis0)
* Deploy this commit to staging (start the app on staging)
* Kill the tunnel from redis0.zulip.net to staging.zulip.net
* Uninstall redis-server on staging
The steps for migrating prod will be the same modulo s/staging/prod0/.

This is used by the Android app to authenticate without prompting for a
password.
To do so, we implement a custom authentication backend that validates
the ID token provided by Google and then tries to see if we have a
corresponding UserProfile on file for them.
If the attestation is valid but the user is unregistered, we return that
fact by modifying a dictionary passed in as a parameter. We then return
the appropriate error message via the API.

The manual step here is that we need to do the `puppet apply` before

Previously we shut down everything in one group, which performed
poorly with supervisor's bad performance on restarting many daemons at
once. Now we shut down the unimportant stuff, then the important
stuff, bring back the important stuff, and then bring back the
unimportant stuff.
This new model has a little over 5s of downtime for the core
user-facing daemons -- which is still far more than would be ideal,
but a lot less than the 13s or so that we had before.
Here's some logs with the current setup for the tornado/django downtime:
2013-12-19 20:16:51,995 restart-server: Stopping daemons
2013-12-19 20:16:53,461 restart-server: Starting daemons
2013-12-19 20:16:57,146 restart-server: Starting workers
Compare with the behavior on master today:
2013-12-19 20:21:45,281 restart-server: Stopping daemons
2013-12-19 20:21:49,225 restart-server: Starting daemons
