This is a first pass at building a framework for collecting various
stats about realms, users, streams, etc. Includes:
* New analytics tables for storing counts data
* Raw SQL queries for pulling data from zerver/models.py tables
* Aggregation functions for aggregating hourly stats into daily stats, and
aggregating user/stream level stats into realm level stats
* A management command for pulling the data
Note that counts.py was added to the linter exclude list due to errors
around %%s.
This adds a new system for copying packages from old virtualenvs that
are sufficiently similar to the new virtualenv required.
In practice, this results in a huge performance improvement for
re-provisioning Zulip development environments when the requirements
files have changed (which is the dominant performance problem with
provision today).
Fixes: #1507.
Between releases 1.3.13 and 1.4.0, local_settings.py was renamed to
prod_settings.py. The upgrade scripts were adjusted to reflect this name
change. But because the first part of the upgrade script is run with the
currently installed version's code, the symlink to /etc/zulip/settings.py is
created with the old name. This was causing upgrade-zulip-stage-2 to fail.
Now upgrade-zulip-stage-2 creates the symlink at zproject/prod_settings.py
if it doesn't already exist.
Fixes#1731.
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.
This reverts commit 3f95e567c1.
Apparently `apt-add-repository` fails periodically in CI. I suspect
this is some sort of silly networking problem, but given that all
we're saving is a few lines of code, the old version was better if
this fails basically ever.
Previously, the install script would fail if you passed various
non-default puppet rules, since the code to configure and restart
services that runs later on in the install script largely ran
unconditionally, regardless of whether the relevant service was
actually installed on the target system.
This should make the main install script reusable for installing
e.g. a dedicated Postgres server for use with Zulip.
This reverts commit f1f48f305e.
The use of sklearn unfortunately caused a substantial slowdown to the
Zulip provisioning process, which didn't seem worth it for a
relatively minor feature.
In python 3, subprocess uses bytes for input and output if
universal_newlines=False (the default). It uses str for input and
output if universal_newlines=True.
Since we're dealing with strings here, add universal_newlines=True
to subprocess.check_output calls.
This is important for both ensuring the Nagios checks work correctly
in production, as well as making sure the `zulip` user can access the
virtualenv (owned by the `travis` user) in Travis CI.
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.
Apparently, c74a74dc74 introduced a bug
where we are no longer correctly depending on build-essential as part
of the Zulip development environment installation process.
Fixes#1111.
This is needed because hash_reqs.py is used to create a virtualenv.
Currently we only use virtualenv in development, but we will soon
start using it in production. Scripts used in production should be
put in scripts/.
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.
The main function of prompting inside `manage.py migrate` is to ask
the user if they want to delete stale content-types, which is
unimportant and likely scary, so we disable doing so.
This automatically loads settings, zerver.models.* and
zerver.lib.actions.* when you start `manage.py shell`, which should
save a bit of time basically every time someone uses it.
Fixes#275.
A common issue when doing a Zulip upgrade is trying to pass
upgrade-zulip a tarball path under /root, which doesn't work because
the Zulip user doesn't have permission to read the tarball. We
could fix this by just unpacking the tarballs as root, but it seemed
like a nicer approach would be to archive the release tarballs
somewhere readable by the Zulip user (/home/zulip/archives) and unpack
them from there.
Fixes#208.
The point of the lock is to prevent two deployments happening at the
same time and racing with each other, not to prevent doing any future
deployments after an error happens (which is what the current
implementation does in practice).
Addresses part of #208.
The #! line processing interpreted the argument to pass to `env` as
"python2.7 -u", which obviously isn't a real program.
We fix this by setting the PYTHONUNBUFFERED environment variable
inside the program, which has the same effect.
Thanks to Dan Fedele for the bug report and suggested solution!
With this change, we are now testing the production static asset
pipeline and installation process in a new testing job (and also run
the frontend/backend tests separately).
This means that changes that break the Zulip static asset pipeline or
production installation process are more likely to fail tests. The
testing is imperfect in that it does not have proper isolation -- we
build a complete Zulip development environment and then install a
Zulip production environment on top of it, so e.g. any apt
dependencies installed for Zulip development will still be available
for the Zulip production environment. But, it's better than nothing!
A good v2 of this would be to have the production setup process just
install the minimum stuff needed to run `build-release-tarball` and
then uninstall it / clean it up so that we can do a more clear
production installation, but that's more work.
While the docu on https://www.zulip.org/server.html says:
```
cd /root/zulip
./scripts/setup/install
```
This script downloads the `python-django-guardian_1.3-1~zulip4_all.deb` file to current working dir (`/root/zulip` if you follow the docu), but tries to install it from /root/.
This fails obviously. So i changed the download location to /tmp/.
