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.
Previously, we used shell quoting that would result in the shell variable not
being substituted. Instead, we use `"`s that will allow for variable
substitution.
Previously these were hardcoded in zproject/settings.py to be accessed
on localhost.

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.
This fixes an annoying issue where one tries to rebuild the database,
and it fails due to there being existing connections.
The one thing that is potentially scary about this implementation is
that it means it's now a lot easier to accidentally drop your
production database by running the wrong script; might be worth adding
a "--force" flag controlling this behavior or something.
Thanks to Nemanja Stanarevic and Neeraj Wahi for prototypes of this
implementation! They did most of the work and testing for this.
This fixes some issues that we've had where commands will fail is
confusing ways after the database is rebuilt because data from before
the database was dropped is still in the memcached cache.
This fixes issue #123. Namely, the script in scripts/setup/install was
returning 0. Adding `set -e` and `set -o pipeline` causes the install
script to exit and return 1 if any part fails, including piping output
(`set -o pipeline` does this).
Most of our installation process is idempotent, but this step in
particular is not, so it's important to provide a clear error message
about how to proceed.
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/.
If there's a problem with Django settings then RMQPW would just be
empty, causing more confusing errors downstream.

The manual step here is that we need to do the `puppet apply` before
pushing this commit, or `restart-server` will crash.
Previously we shut down everything in one group, which performed
poorly with supervisor's bad performance on restarting many daemons at
once. Now we shut down the unimportant stuff, then the important
stuff, bring back the important stuff, and then bring back the
unimportant stuff.
This new model has a little over 5s of downtime for the core
user-facing daemons -- which is still far more than would be ideal,
but a lot less than the 13s or so that we had before.
Here's some logs with the current setup for the tornado/django downtime:
2013-12-19 20:16:51,995 restart-server: Stopping daemons
2013-12-19 20:16:53,461 restart-server: Starting daemons
2013-12-19 20:16:57,146 restart-server: Starting workers
Compare with the behavior on master today:
2013-12-19 20:21:45,281 restart-server: Stopping daemons
2013-12-19 20:21:49,225 restart-server: Starting daemons
2013-12-19 20:21:58,463 restart-server: Done!

We don't use apache in the main app -- only for the SSO situation --
this code was just copied from our own install script. And it caused
problems at CUSTOMER13 because they installed Apache in preparation for
the SSO integration, but restarting it failed.

This moves the list of removed files from .gitattributes to
tools/build-local-server-tarball because static/ and tools/ are
necessary for update-prod-static, and it seemed best to keep the
entire list in one place.

update-deployment has been replaced by upgrade-zulip for local server
instances, since it won't be running off a git repository, and
update-prod-static won't be needed since we plan on shipping minified
javascript.
When we deploy this, the deployment will fail, and then we'll need to
update the git checkout from which post-receive runs on git.zulip.net.

This has a decent amount of code copied from update-deployment, but
there's enough different that I think it's reasonable to write this
and then move some common code into the zulip_tools library.
