Add support for custom database names and database users, which can be
set with the `--postgresql-database-name` and
`--postgresql-database-user` install script options. If these
parameters aren't provided, then the defaults remain "zulip".
Fixes#17662.

Thumbor and tc-aws have been dragging their feet on Python 3 support
for years, and even the alphas and unofficial forks we’ve been running
don’t seem to be maintained anymore. Depending on these projects is
no longer viable for us.

The `en_US.UTF-8` locale may not be configured or generated on all
installs; it also requires that the `locales` package be installed.
If users generate the `en_US.UTF-8` locale without adding it to the
permanent set of system locales, the generated `en_US.UTF-8` stops
working when the `locales` package is updated.
Switch to using `C.UTF-8` in all cases, which is guaranteed to be
installed.
Fixes#15819.
In Debian, becoming root as `su` does not alter the `$PATH`; this can
lead to the root user not having `/usr/sbin` in its path, and thus
the `useradd zulip` step of the installer fails.
Fixes#17441.
For installs which use the `upgrade-zulip-from-git` process, the
deployment directory is a git checkout. This means that an
administrator can, as an emergency tool, run `git revert` and similar
commands -- assuming there is a `~/.gitconfig` set up for the zulip
user.
Add commands to `scripts/lib/install` to create a `~/.gitconfig` file
at installation time. The `user.name` and `user.email` fields are set
to the hostname and passed-in `--email` value, respectively.
Fixes#18039.
0663b23d54 changed zulip-puppet-apply to
use the venv, because it began using `yaml` to parse the output of
puppet to determine if changes would happen.
However, not every install ends with a venv; notably, non-frontend
servers do not have one. Attempting to run zulip-puppet-apply on them
hence now fails.
Remove this dependency on the venv, by installing a system
python3-yaml package -- though in reality, this package is already an
indirect dependency of the system. Especially since pyyaml is quite
stable, we're not using it in any interesting way, and it does not
actually add to the dependencies, it is preferable to parsing the YAML
by hand in this instance.
There is only one PostgreSQL database; the "appdb" is irrelevant.
Also use "postgresql," as it is the name of the software, whereas
"postgres" the name of the binary and colloquial name. This is minor
cleanup, but enabled by the other renames in the previous commit.
The "voyager" name is non-intuitive and not significant.
`zulip::voyager` and `zulip::dockervoyager` stubs are kept for
back-compatibility with existing `zulip.conf` files.
This moves the puppet configuration closer to the "roles and profiles
method"[1] which is suggested for organizing puppet classes. Notably,
here it makes clear which classes are meant to be able to stand alone
as deployments.
Shims are left behind at the previous names, for compatibility with
existing `zulip.conf` files when upgrading.

The combination of `--force --noop` is potentially confusing, but
currently `--noop` makes no sense without `--force`, as it will prompt
and then not make changes.
Make `--noop` skip the prompt as well.
Otherwise, the useradd command will fail during the DigitalOcean
1-Click App installation because the install script is called
twice during the whole process. Plus the Zulip install script
is designed to be idempotent and this bug compromises that.
The value is a holdover from when it controlled runtime behavior,
which it no longer does.
Stop taking a DEPLOYMENT_TYPE, which is unused; the python code only
care about if the option exists, not its value.
These are more correct to the sense of "is this a service we
configured for Zulip", and removes potential confusion around the 0/1
values being backwards from how binary is usually interpreted.
Using checks of `,$PUPPET_CLASSES,` is repetitive and error-prone; it
does not properly deal with `zulip_ops::` classes, for instance, which
include the `zulip::` classes.
As alluded to in ca9d27175b, this can be fixed by inspecting the
classes that would be applied, using `puppet --write-catalog-summary`.
We work around the chicken-and-egg problem alluded to therein by
writing out as complete `zulip.conf` as would be necessary, before
running puppet and removing the sections we then know to not be
needed.
Unfortunately, there are two checks for `$PUPPET_CLASSES` which cannot
be switched to this technique, as they concern errors that we wish to
catch quite early, and thus before we have puppet installed. Since we
expect failures of those to only concern warnings, and only be
mistakenly omitted for internal `zulip_ops::` classes, this seems a
reasonable risk to admit in exchange for catching common errors early.
When supervisor is first installed, it is started automatically, and
creates the socket, owned by root. Subsequent reconfiguration in
puppet only calls `reread + update`, which is insufficient to apply
the `chown = zulip:zulip` line in `supervisord.conf`, leaving the
socket owned by `root` and the last part of the installation unable to
restart `supervisor` services as the `zulip` user. The `chown` line
in `scripts/lib/install` exists to paper over this.
Add a separate exec target for changes to `supervisord.conf` itself,
which restarts the full service. This leaves the default `restart`
action on the service for the lightweight `reread + update` action,
which is more common.
We use `systemctl` only on redhat-esque builds, because CI runs
Ubuntu, but init is not systemd in that context. `systemctl reload`
is sufficient to re-apply the socket ownership, but a full `restart`
and not `reload` is necessary under `/etc/init.d/supervisor`.
49a7a66004 and immediately previous commits began installing
PostgreSQL 12 from their apt repository. On machines which already
have the distribution-provided version of PostgreSQL installed,
however, this leads to failure to apply puppet when restarting
PostgreSQL 12, as both attempt to claim the same port.
During installation, if we will be installing PostgreSQL, look for
other versions than what we will install, and abort if they are
found. This is safer than attempting to automatically uninstall or
reconfigure existing databases.
This allows for installing from-scratch with a different pinned
version of PostgreSQL, and provides a single place to change when the
default should increase.
Using `/etc/init.d/postgresql` as the detection of if Postgres is on
the server is incorrect, because this line runs _before_ puppet and
any packages are installed. Thus, it cannot tell the difference
between a new Ubuntu one-host first-time-install without PostgreSQL
yet, and one which is merely a front-end and will never have
PostgreSQL. This leads to failures in first-time installs:
```
Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call,
Could not find template 'zulip/postgresql//postgresql.conf.template.erb'
```
The only way to detect if PostgreSQL will be present in the _end_
state of the install is to examine the puppet classes that are
applied.
To do this, we must inspect `PUPPET_CLASSES`. Unfortunately, this can
be fragile to subclassing (e.g. `zulip_ops::postgres_appdb`). We
might desire to use `puppet apply --write-catalog-summary` to deduce
the _applied_ classes, which would unroll the inheritance; however,
this causes a chicken-and-egg problem, because `zulip.conf` must be
already written out (including a value for `postgresql.version`, if
necessary!) before such a puppet run could successfully complete.
Switch to predicating the `postgresql.version` key on the puppet
classes that are known to install postgres.
0f4b1076ad removed Ubuntu 16.04 "xenial" and Debian 9 "stretch" from
the printed list of supported operating systems, but left them in the
verification check that controls if that message is printed,
effectively continuing to support them.
Conversely, 439f0d3004 added Ubuntu 20.04 "focal" to the check, but
not to the printed list.
Synchronize to check and print the right supported distributions:
Ubuntu 18.04 "bionic", Ubuntu 20.04 "focal", and Debian 10 "buster".
The previous commit removed the only behavior difference between the
two flags; both of them skip user/database creation, and the tables
therein.
Of the two options `--no-init-db` is more explicit as to what it does,
as opposed to just one facet of when it might be used; remove
`--remote-postgres`.
Since `--postgres-missing-dictionaries` edits `/etc/zulip/zulip.conf`,
it interferes with the intent of `--no-overwrite-settings`.
Make the two settings conflict, to prevent this unclear state.
The `--no-init-db` option previously only controlled if
`initialize-database` was run, which sets up the tables inside the
database. If PostgreSQL was installed locally, it still attempted to
create the user and empty database.
This fails on hosts which are remote PostgreSQL hosts, and not
application hosts, as:
- They may already have a local database, and while
`initialize-datbase` will detect and offer to abort if one is
found,`--no-init-db` seems like it should be the option to not
overwrite it
- `flush-memcached` requires that a local venv be installed, which it
often is not on non-frontend machines.
Skip the database configuration when run with `--no-init-db`.
