These aren't relevant to most users, but in the interest of
transparency, we also don't want the existence of these to feel like a
secret. And maybe publishing their existence will result in folks who
we forget to add to these private streams asking about them.
This document is mainly an answer to a set of questions other
developers have been asking about Zulip's architecture and scalability
design. It's intended for developers working on Zulip, to help with
thinking about where to prioritize further efforts to optimize
scalability.
This commit adds the Zulip logo to the readthedocs
documentation by adding an .svg file (taken from
zulip.com) to the `docs/images` directory.
Morever, it removes the name `Zulip` which was
written at the top of the sidebar because the
logo already has that.
Also fix incorrect 2011 copyright years; the original Zulip, Inc. that
was merged into Dropbox, Inc. was incorporated in 2012, not 2011.

We now require keywords, so that there is no
pitfall for mixing up boolean parameters.
Positional parameters are basically evil
when you have a bunch of bools.
I also make user_profile the first argument.
Finally, the code is more diff-friendly.
Support for saving it in the session is dropped in django3, the cookie
is the mechanism that needs to be used. The relevant i18n code doesn't
have access to the response objects and thus needs to delegate setting
the cookie to LocaleMiddleware.
Fixes the LocaleMiddleware point of #16030.
As of Feb 15th 2019, Hipchat Cloud and Stride
have reached End Of Life and are no longer
supported by Atlassian. Since it is almost 2 years
now we can remove the migration guides.
It seems the Ubuntu base image we use now has a new enough VirtualBox
Guest Additions to trigger the ETXTBSY bug even when it’s not upgraded
by the vagrant-vbguest plugin. Provide and document a way to
downgrade it.

We seem to periodically get contributors who rebase upstream commits
onto their pull request rather than the other way around, resulting in
a lot of GitHub noise. The PRs where this happens were made from
branches named master. We have always documented that you should work
on a feature branch, but not from this page; maybe this will help
reduce that kind of confusion.

We add navigating to user home inside WSL virtual disk as another
step as many users clone Zulip inside a mounted windows disk and
run into permission issues when running provision.
Steve asked me to remove this, since the tictactoe game was always
intended as a proof of concept. Now that we have poll and todo
widgets, the sample code for tictactoe has much less value.
We replace the content and type in test_widgets.py to maintain
coverage.
Boto3 does not allow setting the endpoint url from
the config file. Thus we create a django setting
variable (`S3_ENDPOINT_URL`) which is passed to
service clients and resources of `boto3.Session`.
We also update the uploads-backend documentation
and remove the config environment variable as now
AWS supports the SIGv4 signature format by default.
And the region name is passed as a parameter instead
of creating a config file for just this value.
Fixes#16246.
These are respected by `urllib`, and thus also `requests`. We set
`HTTP_proxy`, not `HTTP_PROXY`, because the latter is ignored in
situations which might be running under CGI -- in such cases it may be
coming from the `Proxy:` header in the request.
This provides a single reference point for all zulip.conf settings;
these mostly link out to the more complete documentation about each
setting, elsewhere.
Fixes#12490.
There is only one PostgreSQL database; the "appdb" is irrelevant.
Also use "postgresql," as it is the name of the software, whereas
"postgres" the name of the binary and colloquial name. This is minor
cleanup, but enabled by the other renames in the previous commit.
The "voyager" name is non-intuitive and not significant.
`zulip::voyager` and `zulip::dockervoyager` stubs are kept for
back-compatibility with existing `zulip.conf` files.
This moves the puppet configuration closer to the "roles and profiles
method"[1] which is suggested for organizing puppet classes. Notably,
here it makes clear which classes are meant to be able to stand alone
as deployments.
Shims are left behind at the previous names, for compatibility with
existing `zulip.conf` files when upgrading.

We replace knight command with change_user_role command which
allows us to change role of a user to owner, admins, member and
guest. We can also give/revoke api_super_user permission using
this command.
Tweaked by tabbott to improve the logging output and update documentation.
Fixes#16586.
Restarting servers is what can cause service interruptions, and
increase risk. Add all of the servers that we use to the list of
ignored packages, and uncomment the default allowed-origins in order
to enable unattended upgrades.
There was likely more dependency complexity prior to 97766102df, but
there is now no reason to require that consumers explicitly include
zulip::apt_repository.
In this commit I attempt to make the docs for
writing `test_events` a little more oriented
toward telling the developer that they need to
write a test in `test_events`; in other words,
the tone is a bit more of how-to-do-it vs.
explaining the innards.
So I now start with a concrete example.
Then much of the copy related to `verify_action`
is the same as before this commit, but I rework
it a bit to be a bit more step-by-step, and I refer
back to the concrete example.
Finally, I explain the schema checking step, which
is all new copy, although for that, I mostly
instruct the developer to read event_schema.py
itself.
