The homedir of a user cannot be changed if any processes are running
as them, so having it change over time as upgrades happen will break
puppet application, as the old grafana process under supervisor will
effectively lock changes to the user's homedir.
Unfortunately, that means that this change will thus fail to
puppet-apply unless `supervisorctl stop grafana` is run first, but
there's no way around that.
In the event that extracting doesn't produce the binary we expected it
to, all this will do is create an _empty_ file where we expect the
binary to be. This will likely muddle debugging.
Since the only reason the resourfce was made in the first place was to
make dependencies clear, switch to depending on the External_Dep
itself, when such a dependency is needed.
The default in the previous commit, inherited from camo, was to bind
to 0.0.0.0:9292. In standalone deployments, camo is deployed on the
same host as the nginx reverse proxy, and as such there is no need to
open it up to other IPs.
Make `zulip::camo` take an optional parameter, which allows overriding
it in puppet, but skips a `zulip.conf` setting for it, since it is
unlikely to be adjust by most users.
The upstream of the `camo` repository[1] has been unmaintained for
several years, and is now archived by the owner. Additionally, it has
a number of limitations:
- It is installed as a sysinit service, which does not run under
Docker
- It does not prevent access to internal IPs, like 127.0.0.1
- It does not respect standard `HTTP_proxy` environment variables,
making it unable to use Smokescreen to prevent the prior flaw
- It occasionally just crashes, and thus must have a cron job to
restart it.
Swap camo out for the drop-in replacement go-camo[2], which has the
same external API, requiring not changes to Django code, but is more
maintained. Additionally, it resolves all of the above complaints.
go-camo is not configured to use Smokescreen as a proxy, because its
own private-IP filtering prevents using a proxy which lies within that
IP space. It is also unclear if the addition of Smokescreen would
provide any additional protection over the existing IP address
restrictions in go-camo.
go-camo has a subset of the security headers that our nginx reverse
proxy sets, and which camo set; provide the missing headers with `-H`
to ensure that go-camo, if exposed from behind some other non-nginx
load-balancer, still provides the necessary security headers.
Fixes#18351 by moving to supervisor.
Fixeszulip/docker-zulip#298 also by moving to supervisor.

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.
93f62b999e removed the last file in
puppet/zulip/files/nagios_plugins/zulip_nagios_server, which means the
singular rule in zulip::nagios no longer applies cleanly.
Remove the `zulip::nagios` class, as it is no longer needed.
An organization with at most 5 users that is behind on payments isn't
worth spending time on investigating the situation.
For larger organizations, we likely want somewhat different logic that
at least does not void invoices.
This is similar cleanup to 3ab9b31d2f, but only affects zulip_ops
services; it serves to ensure that any of these services which are no
longer enabled are automatically removed from supervisor.
Note that this will cause a supervisor restart on all affected hosts,
which will restart all supervisor services.
Failure to do this results in:
```
psql: error: failed to connect to `host=localhost user=zulip database=zulip`: failed to write startup message (x509: certificate is valid for [redacted], not localhost)
```
Host-based md5 auth for 127.0.0.1 must be removed from `pg_hba.conf`,
otherwise password authentication is preferred over certificate-based
authentication for localhost.
Nagios refuses to allow any modifications with use_authentication off;
re-enabled "authentication" but set a default user, which (by way of
the `*` permissions in 359f37389a) is allowed to take all actions.
This requires switching to a reverse tunnel for the auth connection,
with the side effect that the `zulip_ops::teleport::node` manifest can
be applied on servers anywhere in the Internet; they do not need to
have any publicly-available open ports.
This means that services will only open their ports if they are
actually run, without having to clutter rules.v4 with a log of `if`
statements.
This does not go as far as using `puppetlabs/firewall`[1] because that
would represent an additional DSL to learn; raw IPtables sections can
easily be inserted into the generated iptables file via
`concat::fragment` (either inline, or as a separate file), but config
can be centralized next to the appropriate service.

This moves the `.asc` files into subdirectories, and writes out the
according `.list` files into them. It moves from templates to
written-out `.list` files for clarity and ease of
implementation (Debian and Ubuntu need different templates for
`zulip`), and as a way of making explicit which releases are supported
for each list. For the special-case of the PGroonga signing key, we
source an additional file within the directory.
This simplifies the process for adding another class of `.list` file.
These thresholds are in relationship to the
`autovacuum_freeze_max_age`, *not* the XID wraparound, which happens
at 2^31-1. As such, it is *perfectly normal* that they hit 100%, and
then autovacuum kicks in and brings it back down. The unusual
condition is that PostgreSQL pushes past the point where an autovacuum
would be triggered -- therein lies the XID wraparound danger.
With the `autovacuum_freeze_max_age` set to 2000000000 in
`postgresql.conf`, XID wraparound happens at 107.3%. Set the warning
and error thresholds to below this, but above 100% so this does not
trigger constantly.
Matching the full process name (-x without -f) or full command
line (-xf) is less prone to mistakes like matching a random substring
of some other command line or pgrep matching itself.

This verifies that the proxy is working by accessing a
highly-available website through it. Since failure of this equates to
failures of Sentry notifications and Android mobile push
notifications, this is a paging service.
In production, the `wildcard-zulipchat.com.combined-chain.crt` file is
just a symlink to the snakeoil certificates; but we do not puppet that
symlink, which makes new hosts fail to start cleanly. Instead, point
explicitly to the snakeoil certificate, and explain why.
Redis is not nagios, and this only leads to confusion as to why there
is a nagios domain setting on frontend servers; it also leaves the
`redis0` part of the name buried in the template.
Switch to an explicit variable for the redis hostname.
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 is required for unattended upgrades to actually run regularly.
In some distributions, it may be found in 20auto-upgrades, but placing
it here makes it more discoverable.
We haven't actively used this plugin in years, and so it was never
converted from the 2014-era monitoring to detect the hostname.
This seems worth fixing since we may want to migrate this logic to a
more modern monitoring system, and it's helpful to have it correct.
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.
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.

This also removes direct includes of `zulip::common`, making
`zulip::base` gatekeep the inclusion of it. This helps enforce that
any top-level deploy only needs include a single class, and that any
configuration which is not meant to be deployed by itself will not
apply, due to lack of `zulip::common` include.
The following commit will better differentiate these top-level deploys
by moving them into a subdirectory.
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.
d2aa81858c replaced the `apt::source` to set up debathena with
`Exec['setup-apt-repo-debathena']`, but mistakenly left the
`apt::source` in place in `zmirror` (but not `zmirror_personals`).
The `apt::source` resource type was later removed in c9d54f7854,
making the manifest to apply on `zmirror`.
Remove the broken and unnecessary `apt::source` resource.
This property is not related to the base zulip install; move it to
zulip::postgres_common, which is already used as a namespace for
various postgres variables.
There was likely more dependency complexity prior to 97766102df, but
there is now no reason to require that consumers explicitly include
zulip::apt_repository.
Use https://github.com/stripe/smokescreen to provide a server for an
outgoing proxy, run under supervisor. This will allow centralized
blocking of internal metadata IPs, localhost, and so forth, as well as
providing default request timeouts (10s by default).
We should eventually add templating for the set of hosts here, but
it's worth merging this change to remove the deleted hostname and
replace it with the current one.
Disabled on webservers in 047817b6b0, it has since lingered in
configuration, as well as running (to no effect) every minute on the
loadbalancer.
Remove the vestiges of its configuration.
This banner shows on lb1, advertising itself as lb0. There is no
compelling reason for a custom motd, especially one which needs to
be reconfigured for each host.
Since this was using repead individual get() calls previously, it
could not be monitored for having a consumer. Add it in, by marking
it of queue type "consumer" (the default), and adding Nagios lines for
it.
Also adjust missedmessage_emails to be monitored; it stopped using
LoopQueueProcessingWorker in 5cec566cb9, but was never added back
into the set of monitored consumers.
The rabbitmq cron jobs exist in order to call rabbitmqctl as root and
write the output to files that nagios can consume, since nagios is not
allowed to run rabbitmqctl.
In systems which do not have nagios configured, these every-minute
cron jobs add non-insignificant load, to no effect. Move their
installation into `zulip_ops`. In doing so, also combine the cron.d
files into a single file; this allows us to `ensure => absent` the old
filenames, removing them from existing systems. Leave the resulting
combined cron.d file in `zulip`, since it is still of general utility
and note.
7d4a370a57 attempted to move the replication check to on the
PostgreSQL hosts. While it updated the _check_ to assume it was
running and talking to a local PostgreSQL instance, the configuration
and installation for the check were not updated. As such, the check
ran on the nagios host for each DB host, and produced no output.
Start distributing the check to all apopdb hosts, and configure nagios
to use the SSH tunnel to get there.
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.
No plugins are installed inside the /usr/local/munin/lib this creates
in munin-node, nor are they symlinked into /etc/munin/plugins, so
non-default plugins are added by this.
The one complexity is that hosts_fullstack are treated differently, as
they are not currently found in the manual `hosts` list, and as such
do not get munin monitoring.
check_memcached does not support memcached authentication even in its
latest release (it’s in a TODO item comment, and that’s it), and was
never particularly useful.
In Bionic, nagios-plugins-basic is a transitional package which
depends on monitoring-plugins-basic. In Focal, it is a virtual
package, which means that every time puppet runs, it tries to
re-install the nagios-plugins-basic package.
Switch all instances to referring to `$zulip::common::nagios_plugins`,
and repoint that to monitoring-plugins-basic.
Support for Xenial and Stretch was removed (5154ddafca, 0f4b1076ad,
8944e0ad53, 79acd5ae40, 1219a2e854), but not all codepaths were
updated to remove their conditionals on it.
Remove all code predicated on Xenial or Stretch. debathena support
was migrated to Bionic, since that appears to be the current state of
existing debathena servers.
Since 9e8f1aacb3, zulip_ops machines
might have two Package declarations for `certbot`, which doesn't work
in puppet.
The fix is, as usual, to use our `zulip::safepackage` wrapper instead.
The style guide for Zulip is to always use "primary" and "replica"
when describing database replication. Adjust a few comments under
`puppet/` that do not adhere to this.
Unfortunately, some references still remain to the insensitive and
inaccurate "master" / "slave" terminology. However, these are only in
files which we are attempting to preserve as close to the upstream
versions they are derived from (e.g. postgresql.conf,
postfix/master.cf).
65774e1c4f switched from using the bundled check_postgres.pl to using
the version from packages; the file itself remained, however.
Remove it, and clean up references to it.
Fixes#15389.
Instead of SSH'ing around to them, run directly on the database hosts.
This means that the replicas do not know how many bytes behind they
are in _receiving_ the wall logs; thus, the monitoring also extends to
the primary database, which knows that information for each replica.
This also allows for detecting when there are too few active replicas.
