This has never actually been used -- and does not make sense with the
check-all-queues-at-once model switched to in 88a123d5e0. The
Tornado processes are the only ones we expect to be non-1, and since
they were added in 3f03dcdf5e the right number has been read from
config, not passed as an argument.
`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.

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.

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
No commits yet
Changes to be committed:
(use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)
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:
```

Treating the restart as a start is important in reducing the critical
period during upgrades -- we call restart even when we suspect the
services are stopped, because puppet has a small possibility of
placing them in indeterminate state. However, restart orders the
workers first, then tornado/django, which prolongs the outage.
Recognize when no services are currently started, and switch to acting
like a start, not a restart, which places tornado/django first.
This hides ugly output if the services were already stopped:
```
2022-03-25 23:26:04,165 upgrade-zulip-stage-2: Stopping Zulip...
process-fts-updates: ERROR (not running)
zulip-django: ERROR (not running)
zulip_deliver_scheduled_emails: ERROR (not running)
zulip_deliver_scheduled_messages: ERROR (not running)
Zulip stopped successfully!
```
Being able to skip having to shell out to `supervisorctl`, if all
services are already stopped is also a significant performance
improvement.
These have more accurate timestamps, and have user information --
but are harder to parse, and will not show requests when Django or
Tornado is stopped.
This is a script to search nginx log files by server hostname or
client IP address, and output matching lines, all while skipping
common and less-interesting request lines.
As a consequence:
• Bump minimum supported Python version to 3.8.
• Move Vagrant environment to Ubuntu 20.04, which has Python 3.8.
• Move CI frontend tests to Ubuntu 20.04.
• Move production build test to Ubuntu 20.04.
• Move 3.4 upgrade test to Ubuntu 20.04.

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 `:*`.
We had skipped these in #14693 so we could keep generating a friendly
error on Python 3.5, but we gave that up in #19801.

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.
stop-server and restart-server address all services which talk to the
database, and are thus more correct than restarting or stopping
everything in supervisor.
This is possible now that the previous commit ensures that the zulip
user can read the zulip installation directory during
`create-database`; previously, that directory was still owned by root
when `create-database` was run, whereas now it is in
`~zulip/deployments/`.
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.
rabbitmqctl ping only checks that the Erlang process is registered
with epmd. There’s a window after that where the rabbit app is still
starting inside it.

This was added in c770bdaa3a, and we

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
`setup-apt-repo --verify` fail, since it is a different base path.
Make all paths passed to sha256sum be relative to the repository root,
ensuring they can be compared across runs.
In some instances (e.g. during upgrades) we run `restart-server` and
not `start-server`, even though we expect the server to most likely
already be stopped. `supervisorctl restart servicename` if the
service is stopped produces the perhaps-alarming message:
```
restart-server: Restarting servicename
servicename: ERROR (not running)
servicename: started
```
This may cause operators to worry that something is broken, when it is
not.
Check if the service is already running, and switch from "restart" to
"start" in cases where it is not.
The race condition here is safe -- if the service transitions from
stopped to started between the check and the `start` call, it will
merely output:
```
servicename: ERROR (already started)
```
...and continue, as that has exit status 0.
If the service transitions from started to stopped between the check
and the `restart` call, we are merely back in the current case, where
it outputs:
```
servicename: ERROR (not running)
servicename: started
```
In none of these cases does a call to "restart" fail to result in the
service being stopped and then started.
Ubuntu 22.04 pushed a post-feature-freeze update to Python 3.10,
breaking virtual environments in a Debian patch
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.10/+bug/1962791).
Also, our antique version of Tornado doesn’t work in 3.10, and we’ll
need to do some work to upgrade that.

This was only used for upgrading from Zulip < 1.9.0, which is no
longer possible because Zulip < 2.1.0 had no common supported
platforms with current main.
If we ever want this optimization for a future migration, it would be
better implemented using Django merge migrations.
