The installation isn't really complete here, and wasn't even when this
was the only success case; the instructions we're giving are for the
next step in the installation.
These instructions don't say what to do in an actual use case for this
option, but decent instructions there will require having a concrete
use case in front of us and designing the flow for it. At this stage,
just say where we are in the normal flow, and an admin who's chosen to
go off that flow can figure out how they want to vary it from there.
This flips the experimental `--express` option to be the default.
We retain the old behavior, where the script exits before
`initialize-database`, as an option `--no-init-db`; it might be useful
in e.g. a migration scenario (from a Zulip install elsewhere, or
another chat system) where the admin wants to set up the database
separately.
The install instructions are adjusted to match, getting shorter by two
steps and a bunch of words. I think this opens up opportunities to
refactor the text to simplify things further, too, but leaving that
for another commit.
Also tweak the "production" test suite to match.
Kind of unfortunate because the `sudo` interface for running a command
is objectively better -- a list of arguments, rather than a string to
be re-parsed by the shell. But some bare-bones machine images lack
`sudo`, so this makes things a bit more portable.
Revert c8f034e9a "queue: Remove missedmessage_email_senders code."
As the comment in the code says, it ensures a smooth upgrade path
from 1.7.x; we can delete it in master after 1.8.0 is released.
The removal commit was merged early due to a communication failure.
We do the following here:
* Remove libjasper-dev from THUMBOR_VENV_DEPENDENCIES.
Reason: This dependancy wasn't really needed by us for using
thumbor. It was a dependancy for using open-cv as Imaging Engine
in thumbor but we use PIL (Pillow now) as Imaging Engine.
* Add zlib1g-dev, libfreetype6-dev to THUMBOR_VENV_DEPENDENCIES.
Reason: These are dependancies of Pillow which are required for it
Pillow to function. Since we use Pillow in thumbor as Imaging Engine
we need these. Stuff before this didn't break because we also use
Pillow in development Environment and have these dependancies
installed from VENV_DEPENDENCIES as well.
The zulip user has no need to see this file; it's used by nginx.
And when we set up the cert early in install, there's no zulip user
yet anyway, so this fails.
We'll make this the normal behavior soon, once we're satisfied with
our arrangements for sending the admin straight to realm creation and
using the app without configuring email. The instructions in the docs
will also have to change accordingly, of course.
This script iterates over all the mobile.json resources and creates a
single file at static/locale/mobile_info.json which contains total and
not-translated strings information against each language. After doing
this, it deletes all the mobile i18n resources downloaded by
tools/sync-translations because we neither want to check them in our
repository nor we want to make our repository dirty.
This causes us to give an error if you pass the installer any
positional arguments, e.g. with `--`. There's no reason you'd want
to do this, but I accidentally did it by passing an extra `--` to
the `test-install/install` wrapper and spent a few minutes on
confused debugging.
Thanks to the magic of `set -x`, I noticed this:
```
+ cat
++ ssl-cert
/tmp/src/zulip-server/scripts/setup/generate-self-signed-cert: line 49: ssl-cert: command not found
+ apt-get install -y openssl
[...]
```
In other words, we were trying to run `ssl-cert` -- the name of a
Debian package I meant to refer to in a comment inside the templated
temporary config file for `openssl req` -- as if it were a command.
It wasn't, hence the error.
Because `set -e` has loopholes like a sieve, this didn't cause the
script to exit, just produced this funny output and presumably caused
the config file's comment to be missing a word. In principle, it
could do something surprising if for some reason there were a command
named `ssl-cert` on PATH.
Fix it.
This gives us just one way of adopting a self-signed cert, rather than
one script which would generate a new one and an option to another
which would symlink to the system's snakeoil cert. Now those two
codepaths converge, and do the same thing.
The small advantage of generating our own over the alternative is that
it lets us set the name in the cert to EXTERNAL_HOST, rather than the
system's hostname as embedded in the system snakeoil certs. Not a big
deal, but might make things go slightly smoother if some browsers are
lenient (in a way that they probably shouldn't be.)
Take the core of the logic from how Debian generates the system's
/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem ; that gives me more confidence
in the various config choices, and it also demonstrates a much cleaner
way to use the `openssl` tool. Also replace the outer shell logic for
CLI and logging with a cleaner version.
Before this fix, the installer has an extremely annoying bug where
when run inside a container with `lxc-attach`, when the installer
finishes, the `lxc-attach` just hangs and doesn't respond even to
C-c or C-z. The only way to get the terminal back is to root around
from some other terminal to find the PID and kill it; then run
something like `stty sane` to fix the messed-up terminal settings
left behind.
After bisecting pieces of the install script to locate which step
was causing the issue, it comes down to the `service camo restart`.
The comment here indicates that we knew about an annoying bug here
years ago, and just swept it under the rug by skipping this step
when in Travis. >_<
The issue can be reproduced by running simply `service camo restart`
under `lxc-attach` instead of the installer; or `service camo start`,
following a `service camo stop`. If `lxc-attach` is used to get an
interactive shell, these commands appear to work fine; but then when
that shell exits, the same hang appears. So, when we start camo
we're evidently leaving some kind of mess that entangles the daemon
with our shell.
Looking at the camo initscript where it starts the daemon, there's
not much code, and one flag jumps out as suspicious:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE -bm \
--exec $DAEMON --no-close -c nobody --test > /dev/null 2>&1 \
|| return 1
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE -bm \
--no-close -c nobody --exec $DAEMON -- \
$DAEMON_ARGS >> /var/log/camo/camo.log 2>&1 \
|| return 2
What does `--no-close` do?
-C, --no-close
Do not close any file descriptor when forcing the daemon
into the background (since version 1.16.5). Used for
debugging purposes to see the process output, or to
redirect file descriptors to log the process output.
And in fact, looking in /proc/PID/fd while a hang is happening finds
that fd 0 on the camo daemon process, aka stdin, is connected to our
terminal.
So, stop that by denying the initscript our stdin in the first place.
This fixes the problem.
The Debian maintainer turns out to be "Zulip Debian Packaging Team",
at debian@zulip.com; so this package and its bugs are basically ours.
This provides a major simplification for non-production installs,
including our own testing (it's already in both the test-install
harness script and the "production" test suite) as well as potential
admins evaluating Zulip.
Ultimately this should probably be the default behavior, with perhaps
something shown to admins on the web as a reminder and link to help on
installing a better certificate. For now, pending working through
that, just get the behavior in and leave it opt-in.
It's not appropriate for our script to pass the `--agree-tos` flag
without any evidence of the user actually having any knowledge of,
let alone intent to agree to, any such ToS. Stop doing that.
Fortunately this script hasn't been part of any release, so it's
likely that no users have gone down this path.
The third-party `install-yarn.sh` script uses `curl`, and we invoke it
in `install-node`. So we need to install it as a dependency.
We've mostly gotten away with this because it's common for `curl` to
already be installed; but it isn't always.
This commit just copies all the code from MissedMessageSendingWorker
class to a new EmailSendingWorker class. All the logic to send an email
through a queue was already there. This commit only makes the logic
generic. It does so by creating a special purpose queue called
'email_senders' to send any type of email. To make
MissedMessageSendingWorker still work we derive it from
EmailSendingWorker. All the tests that were testing
MissedMessageSendingWorker now run against EmailSendingWorker.
Apparently, this was checking the wrong path in Travis CI, and thus
never actually running (meaning we'd accumulate every `node_modules`
directory ever in the Travis caches, which in turn resulted in very
slow builds).
This updates commit 11ab545f3 "install: Set the locale ..."
to be somewhat cleaner, and to explain more in the commit message.
In some environments, either pip itself fails or some packages fail to
install, and setting the locale to en_US.UTF-8 resolves the issue.
We heard reports of this kind of behavior with at least two different
sets of symptoms, with 1.7.0 or its release candidates:
https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/general/subject/Trusty.201.2E7.20Upgrade/near/302214https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/production.20help/subject/1.2E6.20to.201.2E7/near/306250
In all reported cases, commit 11ab545f3 or equivalent fixed the issue.
Setting LC_CTYPE is redundant when also setting LC_ALL, because LC_ALL
overrides all `LC_*` environment variables; so skip that. Also move
the line in `install` to a more appropriate spot, and adjust the
comments.
This fixes a bug where, when a user is unsubscribed from a stream,
they might have unread messages on that stream leak. While it might
seem to be a minor problem, it can cause significant problems for
computing the `unread_msgs` data structures, since it means we need to
add an extra filter for whether the user is still subscribed, either
in the backend or in the UI.
Fixes#7095.
This commit renames various source requirements files like `dev.txt`,
`mypy.txt` etc to `dev.in`, `mypy.in` etc and various locked requirements
files like `dev_lock.txt`, `mypy_lock.txt` etc to `dev.txt`, `mypy.txt`
etc. This will help in emphasizing to the user that *.in are actually
input to `update-locked-requirements` tool which should be run after
updating any of these.
In this commit we add new dependencies needed for running thumbor.
Also we add the script for creating the virtual environment ready
for thumbor.
Note: Thumbor will use python2 and thus have different virtualenv
dedicated to it.
Credits to @TigorC and @joshland as well for there work on this.
The script already won't work without them; so if the user gets the
invocation wrong, give a halfway-reasonable error rather than just
crash into the ground.
This allows the installer to continue using this script for the
`standalone` method, while the no-argument form now uses the same
`webroot` method as the renewal cron job, suitable for running
by hand to adopt Certbot after initial install.
