Thanks to the magic of `set -x`, I noticed this:
```
+ cat
++ ssl-cert
/tmp/src/zulip-server/scripts/setup/generate-self-signed-cert: line 49: ssl-cert: command not found
+ apt-get install -y openssl
[...]
```
In other words, we were trying to run `ssl-cert` -- the name of a
Debian package I meant to refer to in a comment inside the templated
temporary config file for `openssl req` -- as if it were a command.
It wasn't, hence the error.
Because `set -e` has loopholes like a sieve, this didn't cause the
script to exit, just produced this funny output and presumably caused
the config file's comment to be missing a word. In principle, it
could do something surprising if for some reason there were a command
named `ssl-cert` on PATH.
Fix it.
This gives us just one way of adopting a self-signed cert, rather than
one script which would generate a new one and an option to another
which would symlink to the system's snakeoil cert. Now those two
codepaths converge, and do the same thing.
The small advantage of generating our own over the alternative is that
it lets us set the name in the cert to EXTERNAL_HOST, rather than the
system's hostname as embedded in the system snakeoil certs. Not a big
deal, but might make things go slightly smoother if some browsers are
lenient (in a way that they probably shouldn't be.)
Take the core of the logic from how Debian generates the system's
/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem ; that gives me more confidence
in the various config choices, and it also demonstrates a much cleaner
way to use the `openssl` tool. Also replace the outer shell logic for
CLI and logging with a cleaner version.
It's not appropriate for our script to pass the `--agree-tos` flag
without any evidence of the user actually having any knowledge of,
let alone intent to agree to, any such ToS. Stop doing that.
Fortunately this script hasn't been part of any release, so it's
likely that no users have gone down this path.
The script already won't work without them; so if the user gets the
invocation wrong, give a halfway-reasonable error rather than just
crash into the ground.
This allows the installer to continue using this script for the
`standalone` method, while the no-argument form now uses the same
`webroot` method as the renewal cron job, suitable for running
by hand to adopt Certbot after initial install.
This causes the cron job to run only when a Zulip-managed certbot
install is actually set up.
Inside `install`, zulip.conf doesn't yet exist when we run
setup-certbot, so we write the setting later. But we also give
setup-certbot the ability to write the setting itself, so that we
can recommend it in instructions for adopting certbot in an
existing Zulip installation.
This helps make this script suitable to run on existing installations,
by mitigating any worry about clobbering existing certs with links to
the new ones, in case the admin changes their mind or was using the
certs for something else too.
This enforces our use of a consistent style in how we access Python
modules; "from os.path import dirname" is a particularly popular
abbreviation inconsistent with our style, and so it deserves a lint
rule.
Commit message and error text tweaked by tabbott.
Fixes#6543.
This causes `upgrade-zulip-from-git`, as well as a no-option run of
`tools/build-release-tarball`, to produce a Zulip install running
Python 3, rather than Python 2. In particular this means that the
virtualenv we create, in which all application code runs, is Python 3.
One shebang line, on `zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces`, explicitly
keeps Python 2, and at least one external ops script, `wal-e`, also
still runs on Python 2. See discussion on the respective previous
commits that made those explicit. There may also be some other
third-party scripts we use, outside of this source tree and running
outside our virtualenv, that still run on Python 2.
We may not necessarily be running out of /root/zulip or any particular path,
but the point this comment was really trying to make in the first place stands.
Make it more clearly and still-accurately.
This will simplify step 1 of prod-install instruction to reduce
suffering in testing/experimenting production environments.

Further tweaked by tabbott to rename the script and edit the messages.
This replaces nvm in npm-wrapper by harcoding the path the way we do
with node. The main benefit is that this saves a few hundred
milliseconds every time we invoke npm.
When we added support for automatically adding new secrets in
generate_secrets.py, we failed to account for the possibility that a
human editor might have let the secrets file without a trailing
newline.
We address this by adding a leading newline before our new secret.
Fixes#5209.
Now, generate_secrets.py will never overwrite existing secrets. In
addition to being a safer model in generate, this fixes 2 significant
issues:
(1) It makes it much easier to preserve secrets like Oauth tokens in a
development environment (previously, provision would destroy them).
(2) It makes it possible to automatically add new secrets as part of
the upgrade process. In particular, this is useful for the
zulip_org_id settings.
Fixes#4797.
This fixes a significant performance issue with LaTeX rendering (and
other things that invoked node) where starting up node took a few
hundred milliseconds due to nvm initialization.
Tweaked by tabbott to avoid copying the node binary itself, instead
using a tiny wrapper script.
This is important primarily because it's possible a future version of
node will expect to find libraries/dependencies/etc. installed via NVM
at some path related to the path of the node binary itself, and that's
more guaranteed with this new model.
Fixes#4618.
Now that we're no longer actively debugging this tool, there's no need
to have it print everything it's doing.
This will make `test-backend` a lot nicer to use.
