Greg Price 5a2b001c18 docs: Fix a bit of confusion over past vs. present.
The careful testing with dozens of realms was a discrete thing
that happened, not a general state that the tool was in;
certainly not the last state it was known to be in, as the rest
of the sentence explains how it hasn't been so carefully tested
since then.  So "as of" doesn't fit.

Greg Price da626c176f docs: ssl-certificates: 2017 is no longer the present.
Tweak this wording so it stays true and time-appropriate indefinitely.

Greg Price 6aa7a1b8d2 install docs: Document streamlined self-signed-cert flow.
This is easy now, so make it known to admins who are looking for a
fast path for a test install.

Also totally cut the painfully complicated steps for generating a
self-signed cert by hand.  Anyone who actually wants that can find a
hundred explanations on the Web, or can look at our script if they
want to specifically mirror how we do it (which is mercifully much
simpler than this.)

Greg Price c27f36a82a install: Rename generate-self-signed-cert.
This script generates one certificate.

Greg Price 2bf5d0074c docs: Update ETA for Let's Encrypt wildcard support.
It's now January 2018, so we can delete this caveat, right?
Not quite yet -- the original post we link to now has an
update saying 2018-02-27.  Let's make it less specific,
in case the date changes again.

Greg Price 8fd98133d8 docs: Tweak discussion of SSL certs in prod requirements. 2018-01-23 10:57:50 -08:00
Greg Price 0cf0c51cad docs: Revise description of main install step.
Bulleted information instead of prose, huzzah!  Also I think we need
to explain the options a bit right here, or at least link to where
they're documented somewhere.  (If the list gets much longer, we'll
want to shift toward the latter.)

Also reorganize existing information a bit, and clean up a couple
of nits.

Greg Price bcc1456f55 docs: Tighten sub-headings in SSL certs doc.
What I really want is to give these sections nice stable slugs
to put on the anchors and use as the URL fragment, independent of
any wording tweaks on the text headings.  But I don't think we
have that feature with Markdown and our current docs infrastructure.

At least for Certbot, the brevity helps make this heading clearer
than the previous one.

Greg Price 93b957eaae docs: Revise explanation of manual SSL cert install.
Change a bit of prose to bullets.  Also lead with the "If you ..."
that helps readers skim past this section.

Tim Abbott 21d8ff14b4 docs: Update documentation to recommend certbot. 2018-01-23 10:57:50 -08:00
Greg Price e68f426286 docs/production: Revise doc on authentication methods.
Hopefully this version makes it somewhat clearer how the different
methods relate to each other, how to choose between them, what
`ZulipRemoteUserBackend` is for, and how the latter works.

XavierCooney 5409a98039 docs: Fix typo in multiple-organizations.md. 2017-12-31 09:11:30 -05:00
Greg Price c2cd76b69e docs: Note need to log out and in again on push notifs setup.
This often surprises people, so mention it up front.

(Also it'd probably be good to add some code to make this step
unnecessary.)

David Rosa Tamsen 84384196f2 docs: Exclude files from TOC warnings and navigation sidebar.
Sphinx was displaying "WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree"
for files we just don't want in the TOC. We can hide them from the index,
but the rtd theme defaults to display hidden index entries in the nav bar.

This commit excludes these files from such warnings, and patches layout.html
so that hidden index entries stay hidden from the navigation sidebar.

This commit also moves password-strength.md under docs/production and
adds it as a hidden entry in production/index.rst.

Fixes #7417.

Greg Price 0b543bfc0e docs: Rewrite certbot discussion, to enjoy the new automation.
This doesn't touch the main path through the install docs; that will
see a broader rewrite soon as we make outbound email optional for a
nascent server, make the hostname and admin email into mandatory
installer flags, and then radically simplify the instructions by
removing mandatory editing of `settings.py` and folding most of what's
left into the installer.

Balaji2198 1f43252903 docs: Update TOC in production to include SSL and email.
This adds a few missing entries to the TOC, which hadn't made sense
back when Zulip's ReadTheDocs didn't have the new collapsing feature.

Tweaked by tabbott to also give the SSL certificates doc an
appropriate title for its new role.

Greg Price 011114397b docs: Fix some Markdown links missing a close-paren.
These were just introduced today.

David Rosa Tamsen 7072fa5b37 docs: Reorganize developer docs to improve navigation.
This commit helps reduce clutter on the navigation sidebar.
Creates new directories and moves relevant files into them.
Modifies index.rst, symlinks, and image paths accordingly.

This commit also enables expandable/collapsible navigation items,
renames files in docs/development and docs/production,
modifies /tools/test-documentation so that it overrides a theme setting,
Also updates links to other docs, file paths in the codebase that point
to developer documents, and files that should be excluded from lint tests.

Note that this commit does not update direct links to
zulip.readthedocs.io in the codebase; those will be resolved in an
upcoming follow-up commit (it'll be easier to verify all the links
once this is merged and ReadTheDocs is updated).

Fixes #5265.
