YJDave 93ee0aace7 stream settings: Allow realm admins to remove others from any stream.
This will allow realm admins to remove others from private stream to
which the realm administrator is not subscribed; this is important for
managing those streams, because previously nobody could remove users
from private streams that didn't have any realm administrators
subscribed.

YJDave 2031118545 stream settings: Allow realm admins to access all private stream subs.
This will allow realm admins to access subscribers of unsubscribed
private stream.  This is a preparatory commit for letting realm admins
remove those users.

YJDave 37f9d5c193 stream settings: Allow realm admins to update any stream name & description.
This will allow realm admins to update the names and descriptions of
private streams even if they are not subscribed, which fixes the buggy
behavior that previously nobody could(!).

Steve Howell f0d101edf5 pills: Streamline input pills (for user groups).
The main point of this change is to streamline the core
code for input pills, and we use also modify user groups.

The main change to input_pill.js is that you now
configure a function called `create_item_from_text`, and
that can return an arbitrary object, and it just needs
a field called `display_value`.

Other changes:
    * You now call `input.create(opts)` to create the
      widget.
    * There is no longer a cache, because we can
      write smarter code in typeahead `source` functions
      that exclude ids up front.
    * There is no value/optinalKey complexity, because
      the calling code can supply arbitrary objects and
      do their own external data management on the pill
      items.
    * We eliminate `prependPill`.
    * We eliminate `data`, `keys`, and `values`, and just
      have `items`.

Greg Price e022b9e7ea install docs: Cut SSL cert from requirements summary.
The summary already has a qualifier that basically says it shouldn't
matter for most people -- making it simultaneously the most
complicated bullet there, and among the least likely to matter.

And in fact, this requirement shouldn't matter for *anyone* when first
experimenting with Zulip.  If certbot won't work in a given admin's
environment, and the available ways to get a cert aren't convenient,
they can always let the installer generate a self-signed cert to get
going, and circle back to the issue later.

So, make that option clear in the main requirements text, and then
just cut the whole bullet from the summary.
2018-03-06 19:43:02 -08:00
Greg Price d99ec6426d install docs: Move requirements tl;dr to requirements doc.
This further reduces the wall of text on the install instructions.
Simultaneously it lightens up the pressure on this summary to be quite
so terse; expand a couple of items into multiple bullets (yet with
fewer words!) for greater readability.
2018-03-06 19:43:02 -08:00
Greg Price c1d5364077 install docs: Consolidate follow-up steps.
Now down to just 4 steps!

This version tries to prioritize: just two items that we really want
all admins to look at even if they aren't already mentally committed
to running a big production service and reading all the docs.
Namely, the two required in order to really try out Zulip effectively
with one's colleagues.

Greg Price 526e301177 install docs: Tighten "create organization" step.
The screenshots weren't doing much good without being embedded in the
text... and in fact, looking at them for I think the first time,
they're badly out of date with the app.  So cut them.

We might add screenshots later, but on the other hand if we do a good
job with the forms themselves, they should be superfluous.
2018-03-06 19:43:02 -08:00
Greg Price 4edc121b49 install docs: Move background details to after main flow too.
This further shortens the wall of text inside the instructions.

Note that thanks to embedded reST, we now have the power to provide
custom anchors at section headings!  Which in particular means this
link won't break if we later tweak the wording of this heading.
2018-03-06 19:43:02 -08:00
Greg Price 53f80336ee install docs: Consolidate troubleshooting at bottom.
This helps shorten the wall of text between the start of the
instructions and the end.  Conversely, now that there are fewer
followup steps, the troubleshooting section at the end isn't so
far away to point.

Greg Price 0505036965 install docs: Reduce prose in requirements bullets. 2018-03-06 19:43:02 -08:00
Greg Price f22712e8e8 install: Go straight through by default.
This flips the experimental `--express` option to be the default.

We retain the old behavior, where the script exits before
`initialize-database`, as an option `--no-init-db`; it might be useful
in e.g. a migration scenario (from a Zulip install elsewhere, or
another chat system) where the admin wants to set up the database
separately.

The install instructions are adjusted to match, getting shorter by two
steps and a bunch of words.  I think this opens up opportunities to
refactor the text to simplify things further, too, but leaving that
for another commit.

Also tweak the "production" test suite to match.

Greg Price 49252c97d2 docs: Fix explanation of Debian LXC installation.
This didn't really make much sense - it presented a quickstart summary
of the instructions as an item in the list of differences from the
Ubuntu case, plus that quickstart only incorporated one of the two
actual differences so it didn't work anyway.  Given the networking
stuff, an actual quickstart isn't in the cards, so just cut that.

Also fix some small things while we're here.

Aditya Bansal efe8545303 local-uploads: Start running authentication checks on file requests.
From here on we start to authenticate uploaded file request before
serving this files in production. This involves allowing NGINX to
pass on these file requests to Django for authentication and then
serve these files by making use on internal redirect requests having
x-accel-redirect field. The redirection on requests and loading
of x-accel-redirect param is handled by django-sendfile.

NOTE: This commit starts to authenticate these requests for Zulip
servers running platforms either Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) or above.

Fixes: #320 and #291 partially.

Aman Agrawal 0db9f55924 Update versions for Vagrant and VirtualBox.
Update version of Vagrant from 1.8.6 to 2.0.2.
Update version of VirtualBox from 5.1.8 to 5.2.6.

We needed to update Vagrant because older versions have networking
problems on modern Macs, resulting in weird `apt` errors when
provisioning.

Commit message and some text tweaked by tabbott.

Greg Price 68d5471045 docs: Add code-of-conduct to the main navigation tree.
This quiets the last of the warnings that Sphinx was giving us about
documents not being in any toctree, now that we've explicitly told it
with `:orphan:` about the documents we intentionally don't link there.

Greg Price 644579c368 docs: Remove our forked RTD layout template.
Now that we have `eval_rst` and can explicitly exclude pages from the
toctree completely, we no longer need to set `includehidden`, and we
can return to using upstream's template.

(Meanwhile, our feature request upstream was successful!  See
rtfd/sphinx_rtd_theme#485, which upstream implemented just a week
after we requested it.  So that would have been another option.)

This reverts commit 11b8b8f48 "docs: Add rtd layout template."
2018-01-24 14:37:17 -08:00
Greg Price edfa3eabfd docs: Use `orphan` to directly exclude pages from toctree.
This is what the Sphinx docs recommend when you actually don't want
the page to be included in navigation:
  http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/toctree.html
And now that we have `eval_rst`, we're able to take advantage of it!

One difference between doing this and the old way of making "hidden"
toctree entries is that with the latter, the "previous" and "next"
links at the bottom of each page would thread through the hidden
entries; which gets kind of confusing when they don't appear in the nav.

Greg Price a61e032a3b docs/contributing/mypy: Small wording fixes. 2018-01-24 14:37:17 -08:00
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.

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.
