Adam Birds ceb4b239c4 docs: Update install docs to document the install options correctly.
Update `docs/production/install.md` and
`docs/production/deployment.md` to document the install flags that can
be used as part of the installer more clearly.

Fixes #18122.

Alex Vandiver de46edf966 docs: Remove unused X-Client-IP header from haproxy configuration.
This is unrelated to the X-Real-IP configuration that nginx will add,
and is unused by Zulip.  Remove it, to reduce confusion.

Alex Vandiver d938dd9d4a puppet: Document smokescreen installation, and move to puppet/zulip/.
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.

Alex Vandiver 6b9d7000b5 puppet: Set proxy environment variables.
These are respected by `urllib`, and thus also `requests`.  We set
`HTTP_proxy`, not `HTTP_PROXY`, because the latter is ignored in
situations which might be running under CGI -- in such cases it may be
coming from the `Proxy:` header in the request.

Alex Vandiver a155430eb5 docs: Document all zulip.conf settings.
This provides a single reference point for all zulip.conf settings;
these mostly link out to the more complete documentation about each
setting, elsewhere.

Alex Vandiver 0f25acc7b3 puppet: Rename "voyager"/"dockervoyager" to "standalone"/"docker".
The "voyager" name is non-intuitive and not significant.
`zulip::voyager` and `zulip::dockervoyager` stubs are kept for
back-compatibility with existing `zulip.conf` files.

Alex Vandiver c2185a81d6 puppet: Move top-level zulip deployments into "profile" directory.
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.

Alex Vandiver 50e9e2ed20 puppet: Make zulip::base include zulip::apt_repository.
There was likely more dependency complexity prior to 97766102df, but
there is now no reason to require that consumers explicitly include
zulip::apt_repository.

Alex Vandiver 58cb7cecd8 installer: Remove `--remote-postgres`, redundant with `--no-init-db`.
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`.

Anders Kaseorg 62f1a9da26 docs: Use Mozilla recommended SSL settings for Apache.
• Specify disabled rather than enabled protocols, so as not to disable
  TLS 1.3.
• Provide an explicit cipher suite list (Mozilla intermediate config
  version 5.4).
• Respect the browser’s preferred cipher suite ordering over the
  server’s.
• Use FFDHE2048 Diffie-Hellman parameters.
• Disable SSL session tickets.

(SSL stapling is also recommended but SSLStaplingCache cannot be
configured inside a <VirtualHost> block.)

Tim Abbott 365fed531a docs: Remove nginx reverse proxy websockets documentation.

Vishnu KS 6901087246 install: Use crudini for storing value of POSTGRES_MISSING_DICTIONARIES.
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.

David Rosa bdbc384de5 docs: Reduce the number of apparently broken links on github.
- 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 #11719

Fixes #11087.

Tim Abbott 6041c277a9 docs: Fix single-service deployment docs.
Apparently, the ordering matters.

This command now matches what we use for installing single-purpose

Tim Abbott 92d8c5dec6 docs: Recommend zulip::base when deploying subsets of Zulip.
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.

Tim Abbott 361618f525 docs: Clarify documentation on Amazon RDS.
It's not actually a reasonable experience to use Zulip without working
full-text search, so we should more strongly direct folks to not do
it.

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

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.
