This commit adds EMAIL_PORT setting for explicitly specifying the
port of SMTP provider in dev_settings.py.
We also change email_backends.send_email_smtp to pass EMAIL_PORT
along with EMAIL_HOST to smtplib.SMTP.
After this change, we will not need to include the port along with
host in EMAIL_HOST.
Also updated the email.md docs accordingly for this change.
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.
When you post to /json/users, we no longer
require or look at the short_name parameter,
since we don't use it in any meaningful way.
An upcoming commit will eliminate it from the
database.
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`.
Log RealmAuditLog in do_set_realm_property and do_remove_realm_domain.
Tests for the changes are written in test_events because it will save
duplicate code for test_change_realm_property.

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`.
In particular the Services ID and Bundle ID each have one of Apple's
random-looking 10-character identifiers, in addition to the Java-style
names the admin chooses. Best to be clear about what names are
supposed to be the chosen names and which are supposed to be the
random-looking assigned names.
(I don't know of any docs elsewhere making this clear -- but I guessed
it'd be this way, and empirically it works.)
Also mention you need to enable the backend. :-)
I believe the Bundle ID (aka App ID) and Services ID have meaning only
relative to a specific Team ID. In particular, in some places in the
developer.apple.com UI, they're displayed in a fully-qualified form
like "ABCDE12345.com.example.app", where "com.example.app" is the
App ID or Services ID and ABCDE12345 is the Team ID.

This adds a convenient way to review the upgrade notes for all Zulip
releases that one is upgrading across.
I thought about moving all the upgrade notes to a common section, but
in some cases the language is clearly explaining changes in the
release that are not duplicated elsewhere, and I think it reads better
having them inline alongisde related changes.
We only use this in a few places, but they're really important places
for understanding the types in the codebase, and so it's worth having
a bit of expository documentation explaining how we use it.
(And I expect we'll add more with time).

Previously, it was unnecessarily difficult to parse the sentence to
determine that "HTTP response" and "internal state of the server
following the request" are the coherent ideas. Even if length wasn't
an issue, e.g. "... and checking both the A and B are correct", the
sentence still feels a bit fragile without a "that".
Since the second phrase is indeed relatively long, and "internal state
of the server" is a reasonable guess for the second coherent idea, the
"the" helps to reset the reader's expectation about where the next
coherent idea starts, and ends.
Lastly, having "both" in front of the two phrases encourages an
assumption that they're shorter (which is especially problematic for
the second phrase), while having it at the end of the sentence helps
to anchor the end of the second phrase; this is especially true since
the absence of "both" before that point encourages an assumption that
you haven't finished reading yet, given that two things have been
mentioned.

We'll try to clean that up a bit soon.
We no longer need to maintain duplicate code
related to where we set up the emoji
cache directory.
And we no longer need two extra steps for
people doing advanced (i.e. manual) setup.
There was no clear benefit to having provision
build the cache directory for `build_emoji`,
when it was easy to make `build_emoji` more
self-sufficient. The `build_emoji` tool
was already importing the library that has
`run_as_root`, and it was already responsible
for 99% of the create-directory kind of tasks.
(We always call `build_emoji` unconditionally from
`provision`, so there's no rationale in terms
of avoiding startup time or something.)
ASIDE:
Its not completely clear to me why we need
to put this directory in "/srv", instead of
somewhere more local (like we already do for
Travis), but maybe it's just to be like
its siblings in "/srv":
node_modules
yarn.lock
zulip-emoji-cache
zulip-npm-cache
zulip-py3-venv
zulip-thumbor-venv
zulip-venv-cache
zulip-yarn
I guess the caches that we keep in var are
dev-only, although I think some of what's under
`zulip-emoji-cache` is also dev-only in nature?
./var/webpack-cache
./var/mypy-cache
In `docs/subsystems/emoji.md` we say this:
```
The `build_emoji` tool generates the set of files under
`static/generated/emoji` (or really, it generates the
`/srv/zulip-emoji-cache/<sha1>/emoji` tree, and
`static/generated/emoji` is a symlink to that tree;we do this in
order to cache old versions to make provisioning and production
deployments super fast in the common case that we haven't changed the
emoji tooling). [...]
```
I don't really understand that rationale for the development
case, since `static/generated` is as much ignored by `git` as
'/srv' is, without the complications of needing `sudo` to create it.
And in production, I'm not sure how much time we're really saving,
as it takes me about 1.4s to fully rebuild the cache in dev, not to
mention we're taking on upgrade risk by sharing files between versions.
Also make sure our documentation for upgrading is reasonable for
Stretch => Buster.
Our reasoning for deprecating support for these releases is as follows:
* Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial reached desktop EOL last year; and will reach
EOL on the server in about a year.
* Debian Stretch will each EOL in 2020 (the precise date is unclear in
Debian's documentation, but based on past precedent it's in the next
few months, perhaps July 2020).
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases#Production_Releases
* Both Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian Stretch use Python 3.5 as the system
Python, which will reach EOL in September 2020 (and we're already
seeing various third-party dependencies that we use drop support for
them).
* While there is LTS support for these older releases, it's not clear it's
going to be worth the added engineering effort for us to maintain EOL
releases of the base OSes that we support.
* We (now) have clear upgrade instructions for moving to Debian Buster
and Ubuntu 18.04.

This returns us to a consistent logging format regardless of whether
the request is authenticated.
We also update some log examples in docs to be consistent with the new
style.
Those docs were outdated and no longer represantative of how things
work. upgrade-python-dependencies and unupgradable.json are no longer a
thing, so the entire paragraph about them should be removed.
Then the requirements/README.md file is refreshed a bit to be more
accurate.
For historical reasons we were creating Recipient
objects at some point in the typing-notifications
codepath. Now we just work with UserProfiles.
This removes some queries, as indicated by
the change to `len(queries)` in a couple of the
tests.
The one subtle thing that changes here is huddles.
If user 10 sends a typing notification that they
are talking to users 20 and 30, there might not
actually be a huddle for users 10/20/30, but
we were actually creating huddles on the fly!
There is no need to create huddles just for
typing notifications, since we don't even
share huddle ids with our clients. The clients
just infer the huddles.
Some of the code that gets killed off here as
somewhat "collateral damage" is some
defensive code related to formerly supporting streams
in typing indicators. The support for streams
was killed off almost as soon as we released
the feature, and the codepath is pretty clearly
user-centric at this point.
The only clients that should use the typing
indicators endpoint are our internal clients,
and they should send a JSON-formatted list
of user_ids.
Unfortunately, we still have some older versions
of mobile that still send emails.
In this commit we fix non-user-facing things
like docs and tests to promote the user_ids
interface that has existed since about version
2.0 of the server.
One annoyance is that we documented the
typing endpoint with emails, instead of the
more modern user_ids, which may have delayed
mobile converting to user_ids (and which
certainly caused confusion). It's trivial
to update the docs, but we need to short
circuit one assertion in the openapi tests.
We also clean up the test structure for the
typing tests:
TypingHappyPathTest.test_start_to_another_user
TypingHappyPathTest.test_start_to_multiple_recipients
TypingHappyPathTest.test_start_to_self
TypingHappyPathTest.test_start_to_single_recipient
TypingHappyPathTest.test_stop_to_another_user
TypingHappyPathTest.test_stop_to_self
TypingValidateOperatorTest.test_invalid_parameter
TypingValidateOperatorTest.test_missing_parameter
TypingValidateUsersTest.test_argument_to_is_not_valid_json
TypingValidateUsersTest.test_bogus_user_id
TypingValidateUsersTest.test_empty_array

Fixes#13655.
Zulip has had a small use of WebSockets (specifically, for the code
path of sending messages, via the webapp only) since ~2013. We
originally added this use of WebSockets in the hope that the latency
benefits of doing so would allow us to avoid implementing a markdown
local echo; they were not. Further, HTTP/2 may have eliminated the
latency difference we hoped to exploit by using WebSockets in any
case.
While we’d originally imagined using WebSockets for other endpoints,
there was never a good justification for moving more components to the
WebSockets system.
This WebSockets code path had a lot of downsides/complexity,
including:
* The messy hack involving constructing an emulated request object to
hook into doing Django requests.
* The `message_senders` queue processor system, which increases RAM
needs and must be provisioned independently from the rest of the
server).
* A duplicate check_send_receive_time Nagios test specific to
WebSockets.
* The requirement for users to have their firewalls/NATs allow
WebSocket connections, and a setting to disable them for networks
where WebSockets don’t work.
* Dependencies on the SockJS family of libraries, which has at times
been poorly maintained, and periodically throws random JavaScript
exceptions in our production environments without a deep enough
traceback to effectively investigate.
* A total of about 1600 lines of our code related to the feature.
* Increased load on the Tornado system, especially around a Zulip
server restart, and especially for large installations like
zulipchat.com, resulting in extra delay before messages can be sent
again.
As detailed in
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/12862#issuecomment-536152397, it
appears that removing WebSockets moderately increases the time it
takes for the `send_message` API query to return from the server, but
does not significantly change the time between when a message is sent
and when it is received by clients. We don’t understand the reason
for that change (suggesting the possibility of a measurement error),
and even if it is a real change, we consider that potential small
latency regression to be acceptable.
If we later want WebSockets, we’ll likely want to just use Django
Channels.

I added this tool a few years ago, and I did have
a vision for how it would improve our codebase, but
I can't remember exactly where I was going with it.
At this point the tool is just a little too noisy
to be helpful. An example of it creating confusion
was a recent PR where somebody was patching
user_circle_class in the PM list, and we already
had similar code in the buddy list, because they
use the same CSS. I mean, there was possibly a way
that the code could have been structured to remove
some of the duplication, but it probably would have
just moved the complexity around.
I just don't think it's worth maintaining the tool
at this point.

whereas in fact it will never work because the parameters are
`%(email)s`, not `%(user)s`.
Also, now that one needs to set AUTH_LDAP_REVERSE_EMAIL_SEARCH, it
seems worth adding values for that to the Active Directory
instructions. Thanks to @alfonsrv for the suggestion.
This simplifies the RDS installation process to avoid awkwardly
requiring running the installer twice, and also is significantly more
robust in handling issues around rerunning the installer.
Finally, the answer for whether dictionaries are missing is available
to Django for future use in warnings/etc. around full-text search not
being great with this configuration, should they be required.
The previous documentation was essentially wrong, in that it
recommended copying certain settings that would cause significant
problems post-import if they were indeed copied.
Adds an explicit explanation to help contributors avoid common mistakes
like capitalization errors, missing trailing periods, and incorrectly
prefixing the name of a subsystem.
Fixes#1535.
This also rewrites the text to better explain what's happening. It's
likely further polish would be valuable, but that's true for the whole
"Troubleshooting" page.
This block of text was misplaced when we split the long
maintain-secure-update; article; we want it to be easy to find by
folks who are looking into error emails Zulip is sending.
This text is very old and hadn't been edited in a long time, in large
part because it was buried within old docs. This change cleans it up
to give accurate and better-organized information.
* Moves "Management commands" to a top-level section.
* Moves "Scalability" as a subsection at the bottom of "Requirements".
* Moves "Monitoring" as a subsections at the bottom of "Troubleshooting".
* Replaces "API and your Zulip URL" with a link to REST API docs. This
documentation text has been irrelevant for some time.
* Removes maintain-secure-upgrade from the TOC but the file remains to
avoid breaking old links from release blog posts and emails.
Updates the message editing process to do a local 'echo'.
On slow connections, now there is visual confirmation of the edit,
similar to when sending messages. The contains_backend_only_syntax
logic and check are the same as there.
We showing "(SAVING)" until the edit is completed, and on successful
edit, the word "(EDITED)" appears. There's likely useful future work
to do on making the animation experience nicer.
Substantially rewritten by tabbott to better handle corner cases and
communicate more clearly about what's happening.

We'll be soon documenting a production workflow that involves using
it, and that means it needs to live under scripts/ (since tools/ isn't
present in release tarballs).
- Moves "Authentication in the development environment" from subsystems
to "development/authentication.md".
- Moves "Renumbering migrations" to a section within "Schema migrations".
Merges the "Upgrades" section from production/maintain-secure-upgrade.md
with production/modifying-zulip.md.
Contains significant textual changes by tabbott to read more clearly.
- Merges the "Backups" section from production/maintain-secure-upgrade.md
with existing "Backups" section in production/export-and-import.md.
- Cleans up and makes content more clear/explicit.
- Adds short missing section on how to use wal-e configuration.
- Removes a lot of previously duplicate text explaining the difference between
the tools.
- Various textual tweaks by tabbott.

Initial realm creation now works fine with the LDAP backend, so the
part of the docs about needing to create the first realm with the
email backend is unnecessary and just complicates the setup process,
so it seems best to just remove it.
With webpack, variables declared in each file are already file-local
(Global variables need to be explicitly exported), so these IIFEs are
no longer needed.

This fixes a collection of bugs surrounding LDAP configurations A and
C (i.e. LDAP_APPEND_DOMAIN=None) with EmailAuthBackend also enabled.
The core problem was that our desired security model in that setting
of requiring LDAP authentication for accounts managed by LDAP was not
implementable without a way to
Now admins can configure an LDAPSearch query that will find if there
are users in LDAP that have the email address and
email_belongs_to_ldap() will take advantage of that - no longer
returning True in response to all requests and thus blocking email
backend authentication.
In the documentation, we describe this as mandatory configuration for
users (and likely will make it so soon in the code) because the
failure modes for this not being configured are confusing.
But making that change is pending work to improve the relevant error
messages.
Fixes#11715.
This adds the general machinery required, and sets it up for the file

There are a few outstanding issues that we expect to resolve beforce
including this in a release, but this is good checkpoint to merge.
This PR is a collaboration with Tim Abbott.
Fixes#716.
- Updated 260+ links from ".html" to ".md" to reduce the number of issues
reported about hyperlinks not working when viewing docs on Github.
- Removed temporary workaround that suppressed all warnings reported
by sphinx build for every link ending in ".html".
Details:
The recent upgrade to recommonmark==0.5.0 supports auto-converting
".md" links to ".html" so that the resulting HTML output is correct.
Notice that links pointing to a heading i.e. "../filename.html#heading",
were not updated because recommonmark does not auto-convert them.
These links do not generate build warnings and do not cause any issues.
However, there are about ~100 such links that might still get misreported
as broken links. This will be a follow-up issue.
Background:
docs: pip upgrade recommonmark and CommonMark #13013
docs: Allow .md links between doc pages #11719Fixes#11087.
Previously, we were hardcoding the domain s3.amazonaws.com. Given
that we already have an interface for configuring the host in
/etc/zulip/boto.cfg (which in turn, automatically configures boto), we
just need to actually use the value configured in boto for what S3
hostname to use.
We don't have tests for this new use case, in part because they're
likely annoying to write with `moto` and there hasn't been a huge
amount of demand for it. Since this doesn't regress existing S3
backend support, it seems worth merging.
Add a specific command to restart Vagrant to adopt the new
configuration.
(When naïvely using only `vagrant halt` + `vagrant up --provision`,
external devices remained unable to connect; per `netstat -nltp`, the
host IP of forwarded ports remained `127.0.0.1`.)
This sidesteps tricky escaping issues, and will make it easier to
build a strict Content-Security-Policy.

We have lots of documentation for Zulip developers; but previously
didn't have a nice top-level page for Zulip server administrators to
learn how to manage patches to Zulip.
We no longer use tsearch_extras, and the camo patch is irrelevant on
systemd systems (Xenial and newer). So we no longer need to
provide/install a PPA at all.
Closes#13027.

Now that we're implemented tsearch_extras in pure postgres, we no
longer need a custom extension. This should help us considerably, as
it means we no longer need to ship custom apt packages at all.

This requires part 1 (which can take hours to run but generally
doesn't require downtime) to be completed first.
This portion of the migration will require the server to be completely
down for a brief period; for chat.zulip.org with 250M UserMessage
rows, it took about 60s to run; that time will vary depending on
hardware details like whether the server has an SSD, but fundamentally
shouldn't be long.
Our upgrade-zulip and upgrade-zulip-from-git tools can apply this
migration correctly; nothing special needs to be done.
Fixes#13040.

Previously, Google might take you to /latest rather than /stable, and
you might get information about the next release, not the current one.
Fixes#13056.
Apparently, the ordering matters.
This command now matches what we use for installing single-purpose
installations; I should have checked this directly.
One needs to explicitly request zulip::base, it appears. Ideally,
we'd just have every ruleset depend on zulip::base, but I seem to
recall Puppet didn't like your including the same module from multiple
places. Worth testing as a follow-up investigation.
This was missed because we use the zulip_ops rules internally, which
include zulip::base via zulip_ops::base.
This commit finishes adding end-to-end support for the install script
on Debian Buster (making it production ready). Some support for this
was already added in prior commits such as
99414e2d96.
We plan to revert the postgres hunks of this once we've built
tsearch_extras for our packagecloud archive.

In this section of the docs, two tools for testing openapi
documentation are mentioned. But for the second one, we
forgot to mention that the tool also resides in the tools/

This commit fixes that.

As a result of dropping support for trusty, we can remove our old
pattern of putting `if False` before importing the typing module,
which was essential for Python 3.4 support, but not required and maybe
harmful on newer versions.

Outgoing email documentation should mention that the SMTP server needs
to allow emails originating from ZULIP_ADMINISTRATOR as well as the
noreply email addresses; previously, one would typically find this out
using the test tool, which was not ideal.
Substantially tweaked by tabbott for organization and content.
This replaces the two custom Google authentication backends originally
written in 2012 with using the shared python-social-auth codebase that
we already use for the GitHub authentication backend. These are:
* GoogleMobileOauth2Backend, the ancient code path for mobile
authentication last used by the EOL original Zulip Android app.
* The `finish_google_oauth2` code path in zerver/views/auth.py, which
was the webapp (and modern mobile app) Google authentication code
path.
This change doesn't fix any known bugs; its main benefit is that we
get to remove hundreds of lines of security-sensitive semi-duplicated
code, replacing it with a widely trusted, high quality third-party
library.
We had an organization with engineers for whom English was not their
native language think they needed to go through this laborious
process, which was definitely counterproductive for them.
Many Linux distros like Debian Buster, Fedora 29, etc. have a policy
where any services installed are disabled by default. So we should let
the developer know that they should explicitly enable and start the
Docker daemon.
Also, we should be verbose on how to do vagrant up using Docker as a
provider specifically (and similar for Virtualbox).
This was rewritten by tabbott to use markdown steps, avoid
distractions about things you don't need to change, and remove the
screenshots, which I felt were more clutter than value.
We had several patches to spectrum, but the only essential one
(0ea770fc18) had already been fixed upstream,
and another was just handling jQuery deprecation warnings for not yet removed features.
