post available.

Rishi Gupta 529d424bed docs: Add numbering to import section of export-and-import.md.
The numbers are in parens to avoid the markdown processor interpreting them
as numbers -- I couldn't get the automatic numbering to work out with the
paragraph breaks and so on, and this is probably good enough for now.

David Wood f53a8f8bb6 settings: Rename `create_stream_permission` in templates.
This commit renames the `create_stream_permission` field in the
templates to `create_stream_policy`, matching the field used in the
database model. This matches what `invite_to_stream_policy` does and
will be clearer when the `waiting_period_threshold` is split into its
own field.

Mayank Madan 99414e2d96 provision: Add support for Debian 10 Buster. 2019-05-05 17:57:19 -07:00
Kouhei Sutou a046a0957b docs: Fix upgrade process for Ubuntu 16.04 -> 18.04.
We need to disable "CREATE EXTENSION pgroonga" in zulip-puppet-apply
by creating /usr/share/postgresql/10/pgroonga_setup.sql.applied.
Because PostgreSQL 10 isn't running in this case. If PostgreSQL 10
isn't running, we can't run "CREATE EXTENSION pgroonga".

We can't use pg_upgrade with PGroonga. PGroonga's install SQL
https://github.com/pgroonga/pgroonga/blob/master/data/pgroonga.sql has
conditions to support multiple PostgreSQL versions. So it's not safe
to use pg_upgrade. pg_upgrade copies metadata for PostgreSQL 9.5 to
PostgreSQL 10. We need to use pg_dump and pg_restore to upgrade
PGroonga correctly for PostgreSQL 10.

Kouhei Sutou 407ed45ec2 docs: Use systemctl instead of service.

Tim Abbott bf52ddc33a docs: Make sure that postgresql is running in OS upgrade instructions.
At least in the Trusty->Xenial upgrade flow, it can end up not running.
2019-04-17 12:58:42 -07:00
Tim Abbott e566cad1da docs: Add OS upgrade step to remove upstart.
It's not required on Ubuntu Xenial (having been replaced by systemd)
and causes problems when installing/upgrading other packages; this
change matches a similar block of code in our installer.
2019-04-17 12:58:42 -07:00
Tim Abbott 18146ed947 script: Add static asset pipeline option to support OS upgrades.
The comment explains this in more detail, but basically one previously
needed the `--from-git` option to `upgrade-zulip-stage-2` if one had
last installed/upgraded from Git, and not that option otherwise, which
would have forced us to make the OS upgrade documentation much more
complicated than it needed to be.
2019-04-17 12:58:42 -07:00
Tim Abbott 6828cea76a docs: Clarify some key parts of OS upgrade documentation.
Thanks to Vishnu Ks for testing to figure these out.

Shubham Padia 31cedbc9b8 backup: Make `--output` an optional argument instead of a positional one.
Fixes #12150.
Previously the `output` argument was positional, while the docs described
the arguments as optional in the form of `--output=...`.

Shubham Padia 32cf192b9b backup: Add option `--skip-uploads` to skip uploads backup. 2019-04-17 12:14:11 -07:00
Shubham Padia 984d3f2f0e backup: Add option `--skip-db` to skip database backup.
This may be relevant for organizations that use a corporate remote
postgres server and just want to backup their configuration.

Tim Abbott 5d2984fb46 docs: Document upgrading the version of Ubuntu.
One longstanding gap in our production documentation is how to
properly do an upgrade to the operating system on which Zulip is
installed.

This adds that documentation.

Ideally, we'd get a few folks to test this procedure over the next few
days to make sure it's bulletproof.

Fixes #1705.
Fixes #10796.

ruchit2801 f71d8a7ed5 docs: remove repeated 'etc.' word from sending-messages.md.
There are two 'etc' words in the same line. This removes one of them.

Note from Tim: The old text was arguably correct, but removing it is definitely clearer.

Wyatt Hoodes aac09b22ac vagrant: Add option to specify system settings.
Two variables were declared and assigned the respective values of the
default settings for the system. If the keyword is used in the
~/.zulip-vagrant-config file, the value is assigned to the variable.

There is no straightforward way to customize the virtual machine's
number of cpus or memory, this commit addresses that fact.

Tim Abbott abc7a00d35 Revert "docs: Update .html links to .md."
This doesn't work without the CommonMark upgrade.

This reverts commit c87893feea.
2019-04-05 17:58:54 -07:00
Samuel Searles-Bryant c87893feea docs: Update .html links to .md.
Sphinx/ReadTheDocs supports automatically translating links written as
to `.md` files to point to the corresponding `.html` files, so this
migration does not change the resulting HTML output in ReadTheDocs.
But it does fix apparent broken links on GitHub.

This doesn't prevent people from reading the documentation on GitHub
(so doesn't mitigate the fact that some rtd-specific syntax does not
render properly on GH), but it will prevent us from getting erroneous
issues reported about the hyperlinks not working.

Fixes: #11087.

Zach Wener-Fligner ab15cd13a6 docs: Modify dev SSL/certbot setup docs to match script.
The docs specify passing hostname with the --hostname flag, which

change fixes the docs to match the actual usage.

Ben Muschol d526ff00f2 settings: Rename "user avatar" to "profile picture"
This renames references to user avatars, bot avatars, or organization
icons to profile pictures. The string in the UI are updated,
in addition to the help files, comments, and documentation. Actual
variable/function names, changelog entries, routes, and s3 buckets are
left as-is in order to avoid introducing bugs.

Fixes #11824.

AsociTon 87f7a578e6 docs: Document a Windows GitHub Desktop bug.
Add the recommendation in docs for not using GitHub Desktop client for
zulip code as it has a bug of keeping the symlinks disabled and ignoring
any configuration done to re-enable it resulting into failure to identify
the received symlinks leading to failing test cases in the zulip development
environment.

2019-03-09 16:49:34 -08:00
Tim Abbott fac875a922 docs: Eliminate most development manual install docs.
This documentation had a tendency to bitrot, and in any case now that
we have tooling for doing Fedora (etc.) from provision, it's likely
the case that adding other Linux/UNIX distros we care about to
provision would not be difficult and is a better path than maintaining
this manually-curated duplicate of `tools/provision`.

Further, even if this documentation was maintained, one would still
end up wanting to run `provision` after rebasing a branch, so it was
never particularly practical for extended development.

Mayank Madan 264c2e9803 provision: Add provision support for Ubuntu 18.10.

environment.

Tim Abbott 625c4aaca8 docs: Update recommendations on Vagrant version.
The history of this was that there was a period where half of Vagrant
releases were broken (for everyone, e.g. downloading a base container
didn't work).  It seems Vagrant has cleaned up their act at this point.

We really just want 2.0.x, not a specific version, and the direct
links we had are now quite old.

Thanks to Jonathon Hinchley for reporting this.

Fixes #11836.
