We previously used `zulip-puppet-apply` with a custom config file,
with an updated PostgreSQL version but more limited set of
`puppet_classes`, to pre-create the basic settings for the new cluster
before running `pg_upgradecluster`.
Unfortunately, the supervisor config uses `purge => true` to remove
all SUPERVISOR configuration files that are not included in the puppet
configuration; this leads to it removing all other supervisor
processes during the upgrade, only to add them back and start them
during the second `zulip-puppet-apply`.
It also leads to `process-fts-updates` not being started after the
upgrade completes; this is the one supervisor config file which was
not removed and re-added, and thus the one that is not re-started due
to having been re-added. This was not detected in CI because CI added
a `start-server` command which was not in the upgrade documentation.
Set a custom facter fact that prevents the `purge` behaviour of the
supervisor configuration. We want to preserve that behaviour in
general, and using `zulip-puppet-apply` continues to be the best way
to pre-set-up the PostgreSQL configuration -- but we wish to avoid
that behaviour when we know we are applying a subset of the puppet
classes.
Since supervisor configs are no longer removed and re-added, this
requires an explicit start-server step in the instructions after the
upgrades complete. This brings the documentation into alignment with
what CI is testing.
Recommonmark is no longer maintained, and MyST-Parser is much more
complete.

The auth attempt rate limit is quite low (on purpose), so this can be a
common scenario where a user asks their admin to reset the limit instead
of waiting. We should provide a tool for administrators to handle such
requests without fiddling around with code in manage.py shell.
These checks suffer from a couple notable problems:
- They are only enabled on staging hosts -- where they should never
be run. Since ef6d0ec5ca, these supervisor processes are only
run on one host, and never on the staging host.
- They run as the `nagios` user, which does not have appropriate
permissions, and thus the checks always fail. Specifically,
`nagios` does not have permissions to run `supervisorctl`, since
the socket is owned by the `zulip` user, and mode 0700; and the
`nagios` user does not have permission to access Zulip secrets to
run `./manage.py print_email_delivery_backlog`.
Rather than rewrite these checks to run on a cron as zulip, and check
those file contents as the nagios user, drop these checks -- they can
be rewritten at a later point, or replaced with Prometheus alerting,
and currently serve only to cause always-failing Nagios checks, which
normalizes alert failures.
Leave the files installed if they currently exist, rather than
cluttering puppet with `ensure => absent`; they do no harm if they are
left installed.
Strictly speaking, this sentence is talking about the IdP configuration,
while the backend is just GenericOpenIdConnectBackend, so the new
phrasing is more correct.
The script is added to upgrade steps for 20.04 and Buster because
those are the upgrades that cross glibc 2.28, which is most
problematic. It will also be called out in the upgrade notes, to
catch those that have already done that upgrade.
Fixes#17277.
The main limitation of this implementation is that the sync happens if
the user authing already exists. This means that a new user going
through the sign up flow will not have their custom fields synced upon
finishing it. The fields will get synced on their consecutive log in via
SAML in the future. This can be addressed in the future by moving the
syncing code further down the codepaths to login_or_register_remote_user
and plumbing the data through to the user creation process.
We detail that limitation in the documentation.
Updated the install documentation to include the explanation of the
two new install options `--postgresql-database-name` and
`--postgresql-database-user`.
* Move the extended documentation of code blocks to a separate page.
* Merge "code playgrounds" documentation to be a section of that page.
* Document copy widget on code blocks.
* This commit changes how we refer to "```python" type syntax for code
blocks. Instead of being called a syntax highlighting label, this is
now referred to as a "language tag", since it serves both syntax
highlighting and playgrounds.
* Remap all the links.
* Advertise this new page in various places that previously did not have a link.
Requesting external images is a privacy risk, so route all external
images through Camo.
Tweaked by tabbott for better test coverage, more comments, and to fix
bugs.
This allows access to be more configurable than just setting one
attribute. This can be configured by setting the setting
AUTH_LDAP_ADVANCED_REALM_ACCESS_CONTROL.
This hits the unauthenticated Github API to get the list of tags,
which is rate-limited to 60 requests per hour. This means that the
tool can only be run 60 times per hour before it starts to exit with
errors, but that seems like a reasonable limit for the moment.
Update `docs/production/install.md` and
`docs/production/deployment.md` to document the install flags that can
be used as part of the installer more clearly.
Fixes#18122.
Using `supervisorctl stop all` to stop the server is not terribly
discoverable, and may stop services which are not part of Zulip
proper.
Add an explicit tool which only stops the relevant services. It also
more carefully controls the order in which services are stopped to
minimize lost requests, and maximally quiesce the server.
Locations which may be stopping _older_ versions of Zulip (without
this script) are left with using `supervisorctl stop all`.
Fixes#14959.
We use GIPHY web SDK to create popover containing GIFs in a
grid format. Simply clicking on the GIFs will insert the GIF in the compose
box.
We add GIPHY logo to compose box action icons which opens the GIPHY
picker popover containing GIFs with "Powered by GIPHY"
attribution.
This adds an option for restricting a ldap user
to only be allowed to login into certain realms.
This is done by configuring an attribute mapping of "org_membership"
to an ldap attribute that will contain the list of subdomains the ldap
user is allowed to access. This is analogous to how it's done in SAML.

This is more broadly useful than for just Kandra; provide
documentation and means to install Smokescreen for stand-alone
servers, and motivate its use somewhat more.
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.
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.
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.
`zproject/settings.py` itself is mostly-empty now. Adjust the
references which should now point to `zproject/computed_settings.py`
or `zproject/default_settings.py`.
The OS upgrade paths which go through 2.1 do not call
`upgrade-zulip-stage-2` with `--audit-fts-indexes` because that flag
was added in 3.0.
Add an explicit step to do this audit after the 3.0 upgrade. Stating
it as another command to run, rather than attempting to tell them
to add it to the `upgrade-zulip` call that we're linking to seems
easiest, since that does not dictate if they should upgrade to a
release or from the tip of git.
We do not include a step describing this for the Trusty -> Xenial
upgrade, because the last step already chains into Xenial -> Bionic,
which itself describes auditing the indexes.
Fixes#15877.
Only Zulip 3.0 and above support the `--audit-fts-indexes` option to
`upgrade-zulip-stage-2`; saying "same as Bionic to Focal" on other
other steps, which are for Zulip 2.1 or 2.0, will result in errors.
Provide the full text of the updated `upgrade-zulip-stage-2` call in
step 5 for all non-3.0 upgrades. For Trusty to Xenial and Stretch to
Buster, we do not say "Same as Xenial to Bionic" , because it is
likely that readers do not notice that step does not read "Same as
Bionic to Focal."
The apple developer webapp consistently refers this App ID. So,
this clears any confusion that can occur.
Since python social auth only requires us to include App ID in
_AUDIENCE(a list), we do that in computed settings making it easier for
server admin and we make it much clear by having it set to
APP_ID instead of BUNDLE_ID.
wal-g was used in `puppet/zulip` by env-wal-g, but only installed in
`puppet/zulip_ops`.
Merge all of the dependencies of doing backups using wal-g (wal-g
installation, the pg_backup_and_purge job, the nagios plugin that
verifies it happens) into a common base class in `puppet/zulip`, since
it is generally useful.
Running `pg-upgradecluster` runs the `CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY`
and `CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION` from
`zerver/migrations/0001_initial.py` on the new PostgreSQL cluster;
this requires that the stopwords file and dictionary exist _prior_
to `pg_upgradecluster` being run.
This causes a minor dependency conflict -- we do not wish to duplicate
the functionality from `zulip::postgres_appdb_base` which configures
those files, but installing all of `zulip::postgres_appdb_tuned` will
attempt to restart PostgreSQL -- which has not configured the cluster
for the new version yet.
In order to split out configuration of the prerequisites for the
application database, and the steps required to run it, we need to be
able to apply only part of the puppet configuration. Use the
newly-added `--config` argument to provide a more limited `zulip.conf`
which only applies `zulip::postgres_appdb_base` to the new version of
Postgres, creating the required tsearch data files.
This also preserves the property that a failure at any point prior to
the `pg_upgradecluster` is easily recoverable, by re-running
`zulip-puppet-apply`.
Added -d Flag in do-release-upgrade for Bionic to Focal upgrade.
The -d switch is necessary to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
as upgrades have not yet been enabled and will only be enabled
after the first point release of 20.04 LTS.

As alluded to in the previous commit, only 3.0 can use the new tooling
-- indeed, it requires it, as the zulip.conf entry must be changed.
Clarify that in the upgrade steps for earlier distributions.
Update the upgrade documentation for the tool added in the previous
step. Only the Bionic -> Focal upgrade step need be updated, because
none of the other upgrade steps can be run starting from a Zulip 3.0
installation.
Fixes#15415.
After some discussion, everyone seems to agree that 3.0 is the more
appropriate version number for our next major release. This updates
our documentation to reflect that we'll be using 3.0 as our next major
release.
49a7a66004 and immediately previous commits began installing
PostgreSQL 12 from their apt repository. On machines which already
have the distribution-provided version of PostgreSQL installed,
however, this leads to failure to apply puppet when restarting
PostgreSQL 12, as both attempt to claim the same port.
During installation, if we will be installing PostgreSQL, look for
other versions than what we will install, and abort if they are
found. This is safer than attempting to automatically uninstall or
reconfigure existing databases.
The previous commit removed the only behavior difference between the
two flags; both of them skip user/database creation, and the tables
therein.
Of the two options `--no-init-db` is more explicit as to what it does,
as opposed to just one facet of when it might be used; remove
`--remote-postgres`.
