On `trusty` there is no package for `boto` or `gevent` on Python 3, both
of which are dependencies of `wal-e` (at the version we've pinned.) This
is something used only on database servers and only in a replication
scenario, and it doesn't involve any of our code outside the wal-e repo,
so the Python version it uses is quite independent of the Zulip
application server itself and the rest of our code. For now, keep it
explicitly on Python 2 while we move forward for most everything else.
This script in `zulip_ops` is handy for managing EC2 instances. It uses
`boto`, which isn't available in `trusty` for Python 3. The use of
`boto` here isn't particularly deep, so we could replace it with some
more manual HTTP calls if it comes to that. For now, just mark it to
stay on Python 2 while we move the app and all the rest of the ops code
(except this and another straggler or two) to Python 3.
Also make a comment on this package in the Puppet manifest clearer
about what it specifically refers to.
This consists of the `zulip_ops::stats` Puppet class, which has apparently
not been used since 2014, and a number of files that I believe were
only used for that. Also a couple of tiny loose ends in other files.
This is only actually used in our `wal-e` setup, which is in
zulip_ops::postgres_common. (In fact the only mentions of `gevent` in
our whole Git history are for `wal-e`.) So remove where we mention it
on the broader zulip::postgres_common module, and move it where it's
needed.
This follows up on 98cef0ab4 by eliminating the only dependency
outside of the `zulip_ops` Puppet tree on a system Python-library
package which isn't available in `trusty` for Python 3.
This follows up on 207cf6302 from last year to clean up cases that
have apparently popped up since then. Invoking the scripts directly
makes a cleaner command line in any case, and moreover is essential
to how we control running a Zulip install as either Python 2 or 3
(soon, how we always ensure it runs as Python 3.)
One exception: we're currently forcing `provision` in dev to run
Python 3, while still running both Python 2 and Python 3 jobs in CI.
We use a non-shebang invocation to do the forcing of Python 3.
In some of these contexts, we may still be *using* the Python 2
version, but at least this should eliminate running into
`ImportError`s one by one in scripts that run outside a virtualenv,
as we update their shebangs to refer to Python 3.
Several Python libraries we use don't come in Python 3 versions on
trusty: gevent, boto, twisted, django, django-tagging, whisper.
The latter two don't come in Python 3 versions even on xenial.
So some work required before we can actually switch the code that
relies on those libraries to run as Python 3 -- probably the best
solution will be to backport them all in our apt repo. (All but
`whisper` are packaged in zesty; `whisper` upstream just grew Python 3
support this year.)
These are no longer useful, with our spiffy new analytics framework,
and we haven't in fact been using them for some time, while the
`active-user-stats` cron job does cause regular mail from cron.
Just delete them.
It's rare that there's value in having the log files get this big, and
these changes mean these log files should never consume more than a
few gigabytes.
And in particular, the server.log is far more important than the other
log files, and grows much faster, so we might as well spend most of
the space we are spending on that.
I estimate that the total size of log files from this is going to be
under 1-2GB, since 75MB (compressed size) * 10 (compressed logs) +
500MB (uncompressed size) = 1.25GB from server.log, and the rest is
negligible.
Fixes part of #5724.
Most of these log files are useless except a few minutes after an
event happens, and the aggregate effect of the originals size limits
meant that Zulip's logs could consume many gigabytes of disk.
The new logging strategy should limit our usage from supervisor logs
to at most 3 Gigabytes:
* 20 * 3 = 60MB per queue worker => <1GB.
* 100 * 10 = 1GB for Django and Tornado logs.
Fixes part of #5724.
While running queue processors multithreaded will limit the
performance available to very small systems, it's easy to fix that by
adding more RAM, and previously, Zulip didn't work on such systems at
all, so this is unambiguously an improvement there.
Fixes#32.
Fixes#34.
(Commit message expanded significantly by tabbott.)
Also puts them into a processing queue, though the queue processor
does nothing.
Rewritten by tabbott to avoid unnecessary database queries in
do_send_messages.
This fixes a performance problem where we were previously starting up
a full Django process (~0.7s even on a fast machine) every time a new
email came in, potentially allowing users to accidentally DoS a Zulip
server. Now, we just post over HTTPS, allowing the existing thread
pool support to do its job.
- Add script wrapper to communicate postfix pipe with django web server
over HTTP(S). It uses shared_secret authentication mode.
- Add django view to process messages from email mirror server.
- Clean management command `email-mirror`. Left just functional
for cron email processing.
- Add routes for new tornado view.
- Change pipe script in master process postfix config template
based on updated script.
- Add tests.
Tweaked by tabbott to adjust the directory and set better defaults.
Fixes#2421.
- Enable `master` parameter for `uswgi` configuration.
It allows cleaning leaked processes if the parent
process is closed unexpectedly or with SIGKILL command.
Child processes follow to the master and kill themselves
after the main process.

- Adapt tests for sending missed emails to the new logic.
Fixes#2607
Using `supervisorctl restart all` carried longer downtime (since it
just restarts everything at the same moment) and was less under our
control; I'm not sure it had any advantages.
Since browser clients send messages via websockets and not the API,
this is an important element in making sure mission-critical Zulip
functionality is working.
I'm not altogether happy with this (a better solution would be
database-level locking), but I think it solves the immediate problem
of folks with 2 servers being very likely to run analytics on both of
them.
This results in a brief service interruption (not a graceful restart),
but fixes a bug where on a `supervisorctl restart zulip-django`, we'd
end up leaking a bunch of uwsgi processes.
The mechanism was that sending SIGHUP to uwsgi was a command for it to
gracefully restart, so it'd start doing that (whereas supervisor
expected it to be dying)... and then supervisor would start up the new
uwsgi process group, resulting in 2 uwsgi process groups running.
This, in turn, led to a memory leak that could eventually result in
OOM kills.
The old zulip_ops Nagios configuration depended on Nagios having the
ability to login as the zulip user (with essentially full write
access); this configuration is helpful for limiting nagios to special
"nagios" user with more limited credentials.
Previously, the CRITICAL state would never fire (because x > 6 =>
x > 3). Additionally, 6s is not so unusually high as to deserve being
immediately pageable.
- Add websocket client to create connection with SockJS websocket server.
It contains callback method to launch after connection setup.
- Add '--websocket' parameter to 'check_send_receive_time' script to
check websocket connection.
- Add testing websocket connection to production installation checking.
- Add cronjob to launch websocket connection nagios test.
This makes it possible for Zulip Nagios monitoring to check for
problems impacting the websockets sending code path, which is what all
web users use.
This change adds support for displaying inline open graph previews for
links posted into Zulip.
It is designed to interact correctly with message editing.
This adds the new settings.INLINE_URL_EMBED_PREVIEW setting to control
whether this feature is enabled.
By default, this setting is currently disabled, so that we can burn it
in for a bit before it impacts users more broadly.
Eventually, we may want to make this manageable via a (set of?)
per-realm settings. E.g. I can imagine a realm wanting to be able to
enable/disable it for certain URLs.
(Why is -u needed at all? I’m not sure, but test-run-dev spins forever
“Polling run-dev...” without it.)

This allows the actual nagios work involved with
check_send_receive_time nagios checks to be done by an unprivileged
"nagios" user rather than the "zulip" user.
There's no longer a reason to have copies of forked postgres
configuration files in our repository, since some time ago we merged
the features of these configuration files into the main
postgres_appdb_tuned.pp.
The old "zulip_internal" name was from back when Zulip, Inc. had two
distributions of Zulip, the enterprise distribution in puppet/zulip/
and the "internal" SAAS distribution in puppet/zulip_internal. I
think the name is a bit confusing in the new fully open-source Zulip
work, so we're replacing it with "zulip_ops". I don't think the new
name is perfect, but it's better.
In the following commits, we'll delete a bunch of pieces of Zulip,
Inc.'s infrastructure that don't exist anymore and thus are no longer
useful (e.g. the old Trac configuration), with the goal of cleaning
the repository of as much unnecessary content as possible.
This adds support for using PGroonga to back the Zulip full-text
search feature. Because built-in PostgreSQL full text search doesn't
support languages that don't put space between terms such as Japanese,
Chinese and so on. PGroonga supports all languages including Japanese
and Chinese.
Developers will need to re-provision when rebasing past this patch for
the tests to pass, since provision is what installs the PGroonga
package and extension.
PGroonga is enabled by default in development but not in production;
the hope is that after the PGroonga support is tested further, we can
enable it by default.
Fixes#615.
[docs and tests tweaked by tabbott]
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.
Previously, we used a fixed memcached memory allocation of 512MB,
regardless of the size of the server. While that is a good allocation
for a server with 4GB of RAM, for servers with less, we should
decrease the allocation, and for a large server with much more RAM, we
should increase it. We still support the user overriding the
configuration setting, but this produces more sensible defaults.
Zulip had only patches the redis configuration in one small way, which
resulted in unnecessary portability issues for using Redis on
different versions of Linux. We replace this with just a adding an
include mechanism to the redis config.
While we're at it, we configure this to take advantage of the
new REDIS_PASSWORD secret to automatically configure redis passwords.
* Fixes passing a string argument rather than an actual Python
argument.
* Switches to hardcoding the database to connect to rather than the
user, so this check can be run as an arbitrary user.
All other zulip management command names have underscores, so
rename email-mirror to email_mirror.
This will also make it possible to import this module, which will
help in writing tests for it.
runtornado unbuffers its output using
sys.stdout = os.fdopen(sys.stdout.fileno(), 'w', 0).
This is not python 3 compatible since we can't specify
buffering on a text stream in python 3. So use the '-u'
option of python when calling runtornado.py to make output
unbuffered.
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:

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.
