That specific piece of the instructions makes it sound like /auth/ is
surely supposed to be there in the URL. But newer versions of Keycloak
don't have it - so mention that explicitly, not to create a wrong
expectation.
Earlier, the URL directed to live API keys. Updated the URL
to direct to 'test API keys'.
Also explicitly mentioned is to double check that the keys are
'test keys', in case Stripe changes the URL as it did before.
The "nothing else" line is accurate at a high level but more ambigious
than I'd like for sensitive documentation -- we're not trying to make
an extreme claim that we've disabled all forms of short-term logging.
This commit replaces the old dev login screenshot with the new one.
This also replaces the default path that we mention in the docs to
localhost:9991/devlogin.
These metadata are essentially all publicily available anyway, and
making uploading them unconditional will simplify some things.
The documentation is not quite accurate in that it claims the server
will upload some metadata that is not actually uploaded yet (but will
by soon). This seems harmless.
The other option would be to run the cron job ourselves, but I feel
like different organizations with different policies might prefer very
different frequencies; daily/hourly, and it's not easy to make that
configurable with a cron file declared in puppet.
Fixes#27866.
The original behavior of this setting was to disable LDAP
authentication for any realms not configured to use it. This was an
arbitrary choice, and its only value was to potentially help catch
typos for users who are lazy about testing their configuration.
Since it makes it a very inconvenient to potentially host multiple
organizations with different LDAP configurations, remove that
behavior.
This makes it possible to send notifications to more than one app ID
from the same server: for example, the main Zulip mobile app and the
new Flutter-based app, which has a separate app ID for use through its
beta period so that it can be installed alongside the existing app.
The word "Filtrar" is ambiguous in this context since it can be
interpreted as "filter out" which is the opposite of what we want
here. "Buscar solo" is a better phrase that we can use unambiguously
and consistently for all instances of "Narrow to".
Updates API and contributor documentation for writing integrations
for the new `generate-integration-url.md` macro. Removes all
refrences to `create-bot-construct-url.md`, which was removed in
the previous commit.
We use this function to show who's typing in the
direct messages narrow.
Renamed it because, with the addition of stream typists to
`typist_dct` in the next commit, this might be confusing.
This commit addresses the discussed issue by renaming
'get_all_typists()' to 'get_all_direct_message_typists'.
Correct the `PUT` to `POST` in the
`/docs/tutorial/life-of-a-request.md` to match it with the actual code
in `zproject/urls.py` route: '/users'. (The HTTP method changed at
some point).
Tested by tabbott using:
curl -v -X HEAD https://chat.zulip.org/api/v1/users
This fixes the explanation of the setting's syntax to be more precise
(which doesn't mean "easily understandable" - because the setting is
a bit tricky) as well as an example to illustrate it.
The deleted CSS around the `.zulip-icon-ellipsis-v-solid` class
has no impact on the hover controls, as flexbox and grid are
handling baseline alignment, not this one-off line-height.
While an en dash--as replaced here with a hyphen--is sounder
typographically, the other ranges in the file use a hyphen, which
is arguably also more interoperable in a plain-text file such as
this (though other en dashes live on in the file, as part of the
original licensing text).
This makes all shortened forms of "incorporated" uniform across
the file, and matches how "Twitter, Inc." is presented in the files
in question, e.g., atop `web/third/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.js`.
Updates the main description of the `api/set-typing-status` endpoint
for the new fields in the register response for the typing start,
stop, expired time intervals. Previously these were hardcoded by
the client side code and not the server side code.
Also updates the developer documentation for typing indicators in
the subsystems docs. This refreshes a few parts of that doc that
were already out of date, as well as adds the information about
the new register response fields noted above.
Previously I've wanted to have this page spell out the concrete
version number that our clients support, rather than the policy we
use for determining that version number, because that's the sort of
question that I feel like as a user I'd want a straight answer to
and would be annoyed if I couldn't get one.
But as the text stands, it's come to look more like it's the policy
(something that's heavyweight to change) than like the value that
the policy currently happens to work out to. Also, because this page
is kind of chaotically organized (and fixing that is a bigger yak
than I want to shave right now), it repeats the 18-month rule in
three separate places and the current value (version 4.0) is in
a fourth separate place, so it looks internally inconsistent.
Let's therefore take a different tack: like in those other three
spots on this page, state just the policy instead of the value it
currently works out to; but also add a link to help the reader
pin down for themselves what value that does work out to.
This also means we no longer need to update this page as old releases
age and that value advances.
Also fix a typo, and cut the reference to working degraded on
older releases. Starting earlier this year we finally started
hard-refusing such connections:
https://github.com/zulip/zulip-mobile/issues/5102https://github.com/zulip/zulip-mobile/pull/5633
(which was because there were some swathes of compatibility code
that we could only cut if we completely broke the handling of
ancient servers, and so we preferred to have the app communicate
that break clearly up front.)
Tweaked provision script to run successfully in Fedora 38 and
included a script to build the groonga libs from source because
the packages in Fedora repos are outdated.
There is a major version jump from the last supported version (F34)
which is EOL so references and support for older versions were
removed.
Fixes: #20635
Almost all users of JsonSuccessBase seem to also include
SuccessDescription. /server_settings used a different description from
the rest of the JsonSuccessBase users, but the difference is small
enough that using the generic description of the former
SuccessDescription is fine.
The "followup_day2" email template name is not clear or descriptive
about the purpose of the email. Creates a duplicate of those email
template files with the template name "zulip_onboarding_topics".
Because any existing scheduled emails that use the "followup_day2"
templates will need to be updated before the current templates can
be removed, we don't do a simple file rename here.
We have historically cached two types of values
on a per-request basis inside of memory:
* linkifiers
* display recipients
Both of these caches were hand-written, and they
both actually cache values that are also in memcached,
so the per-request cache essentially only saves us
from a few memcached hits.
I think the linkifier per-request cache is a necessary
evil. It's an important part of message rendering, and
it's not super easy to structure the code to just get
a single value up front and pass it down the stack.
I'm not so sure we even need the display recipient
per-request cache any more, as we are generally pretty
smart now about hydrating recipient data in terms of
how the code is organized. But I haven't done thorough
research on that hypotheseis.
Fortunately, it's not rocket science to just write
a glorified memoize decorator and tie it into key
places in the code:
* middleware
* tests (e.g. asserting db counts)
* queue processors
That's what I did in this commit.
This commit definitely reduces the amount of code
to maintain. I think it also gets us closer to
possibly phasing out this whole technique, but that
effort is beyond the scope of this PR. We could
add some instrumentation to the decorator to see
how often we get a non-trivial number of saved
round trips to memcached.
Note that when we flush linkifiers, we just use
a big hammer and flush the entire per-request
cache for linkifiers, since there is only ever
one realm in the cache.
nginx sets the value of the `$http_host` variable to the empty string
when using http/3, as there is technically no `Host:` header sent:
https://github.com/nginx-quic/nginx-quic/issues/3
Users with a browser that support http/3 will send their first request
to nginx with http/2, and get an expected HTTP 200 -- but any
subsequent requests will fail with am HTTP 400, since the browser will
have upgraded to http/3, which has an empty `Host` header, which Zulip
rejects.
Switch to the `$host` variable, which works for all HTTP versions.

This includes changing the URL to #settings/preferences, with a
transparent redirect so that existing links, like the one from Welcome
Bot, continue to work.
Users can, quite understandably, assume that upgrading Zulip upgraded
the underlying PostgreSQL version. Though it is mentioned at the top
of the page, mentioning it here clarifies that it is an additional
step.
- Updates instances of "private message", "PM", and "private_message",
excluding historical references in `overview/changelog.md`.
- Also excludes `/docs/translating` since we would need new
translations for "direct messages" and "DMs".
Previously, `X-Forwarded-Proto` did not need to be set, and failure to
set `loadbalancer.ips` would merely result in bad IP-address
rate-limiting and incorrect access logs; after 0935d388f0, however,
failure to do either of those, if Zulip is deployed with `http_only`,
will lead to infinite redirect loops after login. These are
accompanied by a misleading error, from Tornado, of:
Forbidden (Origin checking failed - https://zulip.example.com does not match any trusted origins.): /json/events
This is most common with Docker deployments, where deployments use
another docker container, such as nginx or Traefik, to do SSL
termination. See zulip/docker-zulip#403.
Update the documentation to reinforce that `loadbalancer.ips` also
controls trust of `X-Forwarded-Proto`, and that failure to set it will
cause the application to not function correctly.
- Create a dedicated "Reporting bugs" page to learly document
where and how bugs should be reported.
- Drop "Reporting issues" section from the Contributing guide.
- Delete "Bug report guidelines" page.
04cf68b45e make nginx responsible for downloading (and caching)
files from S3. As noted in that commit, nginx implements its own
non-blocking DNS resolver, since the base syscall is blocking, so
requires an explicit nameserver configuration. That commit used
127.0.0.53, which is provided by systemd-resolved, as the resolver.
However, that service may not always be enabled and running, and may
in fact not even be installed (e.g. on Docker). Switch to parsing
`/etc/resolv.conf` and using the first-provided nameserver. In many
deployments, this will still be `127.0.0.53`, but for others it will
provide a working DNS server which is external to the host.
In the event that a server is misconfigured and has no resolvers in
`/etc/resolv.conf`, it will error out:
```console
Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, No nameservers found in /etc/resolv.conf! Configure one by setting application_server.nameserver in /etc/zulip/zulip.conf (file: /home/zulip/deployments/current/puppet/zulip/manifests/app_frontend_base.pp, line: 76, column: 70) on node example.zulipdev.org
```
This better presents the CSS organization for readers, and also
removes a stale reference and link to Bootstrap.
Because postcss-nesting's spec-aligned syntax has tripped up some
contributors, the mention of PostCSS now includes a link to the
postcss-nesting README and the CSS Nesting spec from the W3C, which
PostCSS Nesting attempts to adhere to.
This commit represents an in-place reordering of the document. No
headings or content has been changed (that will happen in subsequent
commits).
The goal is to open the document with generic advice and guidance
applicable to all Zulip developers across all languages:
1. Consistency, enforced by linters and automated tests, opens the
document.
2. General, largely language-neutral advice about line length,
third-party code, translation, paths, and secrets come next.
3. Next up is language-specific advice and conventions: Python,
followed by JavaScript and TypeScript, followed by HTML and CSS
(although the HTML and CSS will be moved in a subsequent commit
to their own file).
4. Closing the file, rather than opening it, is the section on
Dangerous constructs. Some of these are fairly specialized, so
it makes sense not to ask readers to read through them before
presenting, say, our philosophy on line length.
Finally, in trying to come up with a sensible order for all sections
of this document, the "More arbitrary style things" heading has been
removed.
This is a useful improvement in general for making correct
LogoutRequests to Idps and a necessary one to make SP-initiated logout
fully work properly in the desktop application. During desktop auth
flow, the user goes through the browser, where they log in through their
IdP. This gives them a logged in browser session at the IdP. However,
SAML SP-initiated logout is fully conducted within the desktop
application. This means that proper information needs to be given to the
the IdP in the LogoutRequest to let it associate the LogoutRequest with
that logged in session that was established in the browser. SessionIndex
is exactly the tool for that in the SAML spec.
This gives more flexibility on a server with multiple organizations and
SAML IdPs. Such a server can have some organizations handled by IdPs
with SLO set up, and some without it set up. In such a scenario, having
a generic True/False server-wide setting is insufficient and instead
being able to specify the IdPs/orgs for SLO is needed.
Closes#20084
This is the flow that this implements:
1. A logged-in user clicks "Logout".
2. If they didn't auth via SAML, just do normal logout. Otherwise:
3. Form a LogoutRequest and redirect the user to
https://idp.example.com/slo-endpoint?SAMLRequest=<LogoutRequest here>
4. The IdP validates the LogoutRequest, terminates its own user session
and redirects the user to
https://thezuliporg.example.com/complete/saml/?SAMLRequest=<LogoutResponse>
with the appropriate LogoutResponse. In case of failure, the
LogoutResponse is expected to express that.
5. Zulip validates the LogoutResponse and if the response is a success
response, it executes the regular Zulip logout and the full flow is
finished.
Django 4.0 and higher began checking the `Origin` header, which made
it important that Zulip know accurately if the request came over HTTPS
or HTTP; failure to do so would result in "CSRF verification failed"
errors.
For Zulip servers which are accessed via proxies, this means that
`X-Fowarded-Proto` must be set accurately. Adjust the documentation
for the suggested configurations to add the header.
Fixes: #24599.

1c76036c61 raised the number of `minfds` in Supervisor from 40k to
1M. If Supervisor cannot guarantee that number of available file
descriptors, it will fail to start; `/etc/security/limits.conf` was
hence adjusted upwards as well. However, on some virtualized
environments, including Proxmox LXC, setting
`/etc/security/limits.conf` may not be enough to raise the
system-level limits. This causes `supervisord` with the larger
`minfds` to fail to start.
The limit of 1000000 was chosen to be arbitrarily high, assuming it
came without cost; it is not expected to ever be reached on any
deployment. 262b19346e already lowered one aspect of that
changeset, upon determining it did come with a cost. Potentially
breaking virtualized deployments during upgrade is another cost of
that change.
Lower the `minfds` it back down to 40k, partially reverting
1c76036c61, but allow adjusting it upwards for extremely large
deployments. We do not expect any except the largest deployments to
ever hit the 40k limit, and a frictionless deployment for the
vanishingly small number of huge deployments is not worth the
potential upgrade hiccups for the much more frequent smaller
deployments.
Instead of copying over a mostly-unchanged `postgresql.conf`, we
transition to deploying a `conf.d/zulip.conf` which contains the
only material changes we made to the file, which were previously
appended to the end.
While shipping separate while `postgresql.conf` files for each
supported version is useful if there is large variety in supported
options between versions, there is not no such variation at current,
and the burden of overriding the entire default configuration is that
it must be keep up to date wit the package's version.
This commit updates the recommended commit summary length
to 72 characters in the documentation. If the commit message
exceeds this length than GitHub cutoffs the remaining characters.
This should help miscueing users into thinking that the provisioning
steps, etc. are a part of the python3 installation--which is now more
explicitly aimed at Centos, Fedora, and RHEL users.
In #23380 we want to change all ocurrences of `uri` to `url`. This
commit changes the ocurrences of `uri` appeared in files related to
email, including templates (`.html`, `.txt`) and backend (`.py`)
codes.
In `email.md`, `base_images_uri` is changed to `images_base_url` -
the words `base` and `images` are swapped and plural form is added
for `image`. This is becasue the former is not found anywhere in
the codebase while the later appears a lot. To reduce confusion,
this doccumentation changed accordingly.
Taking backups on the database primary adds additional disk load,
which can impact the performance of the application.
Switch to taking backups on replicas, if they exist. Some deployments
may have multiple replicas, and taking backups on all of them is
wasteful and potentially confusing; add a flag to inhibit taking
nightly snapshots on the host.
If the deployment is a single instance of PostgreSQL, with no
replicas, it takes backups as before, modulo the extra flag to allow
skipping taking them.

stream have access to the announcement stream name. When option
is not shown, default behaviour is to announce public and
web-public streams.

This removes the production reporting to `/json/report/error` upon
`blueslip.error`, and replaces it with reporting to Sentry, if
enabled. Sentry provides better reporting and grouping for exceptions
than the email- and `#errors`-reporting provided by the
`/json/report/error` endpoint.
The development behaviour of rendering `blueslip.error` messages and
stacktraces immediately, and stopping execution, is preserved.
To better chain exception information, the whole previous exception is
passed to `blueslip.error`, not just the stack, and the second
parameter is formalized to be an object to map to Sentry's "context"
concept.
We currently use the GitHub logo to show the bots settings in both
personal and organization settings. This icon is not a correct
representation since we use have support for several different bots
including but not limited to a GitHub integration bot.
This commit replaces the GitHub logo with Smart Toy material icon
from Google, while also adding the required licencing details at
docs/THIRDPARTY.
Part of #19797.
Since logrotate runs in a daily cron, this practically means "daily,
but only if it's larger than 500M." For large installs with large
traffic, this is effectively daily for 10 days; for small installs, it
is an unknown amount of time.
Switch to daily logfiles, defaulting to 14 days to match nginx; this
can be overridden using a zulip.conf setting. This makes it easier to
ensure that access logs are only kept for a bounded period of time.
Previously, we had an architecture where CSS inlining for emails was
done at provision time in inline_email_css.py. This was necessary
because the library we were using for this, Premailer, was extremely
slow, and doing the inlining for every outgoing email would have been
prohibitively expensive.
Now that we've migrated to a more modern library that inlines the
small amount of CSS we have into emails nearly instantly, we are able
to remove the complex architecture built to work around Premailer
being slow and just do the CSS inlining as the final step in sending
each individual email.
This has several significant benefits:
* Removes a fiddly provisioning step that made the edit/refresh cycle
for modifying email templates confusing; there's no longer a CSS
inlining step that, if you forget to do it, results in your testing a
stale variant of the email templates.
* Fixes internationalization problems related to translators working
with pre-CSS-inlined emails, and then Django trying to apply the
translators to the post-CSS-inlined version.
* Makes the send_custom_email pipeline simpler and easier to improve.

This commit should not affect the functionality of the system

Increasing worker_connections has a memory cost, unlike the rest of
the changes in 1c76036c61d8; setting it to 1 million caused nginx to

Reduce the default down to 10k, and allow deploys to configure it up

Zulip Server 4.0 is now 22 months old, which is more than 18 months.

we can update this further to say 5.0.

This is the behaviour inherited from Django[^1]. While setting the

the user would have been putting into `EMAIL_HOST_USER` in that

correct configuration for disabling SMTP auth is important.

Ever since we started bundling the app with webpack, there’s been less
and less overlap between our ‘static’ directory (files belonging to
the frontend app) and Django’s interpretation of the ‘static’
directory (files served directly to the web).
Split the app out to its own ‘web’ directory outside of ‘static’, and
remove all the custom collectstatic --ignore rules. This makes it
much clearer what’s actually being served to the web, and what’s being
bundled by webpack. It also shrinks the release tarball by 3%.
