The main purpose of this change is to make it guaranteed that
`manage.py register_server --rotate-key` can edit the
/etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf configuration via crudini.
But it also adds value by ensuring zulip-secrets.conf is not readable
by other users.
With modern apt-key, the fingerprints are displayed in the more fully
written-out format with spaces, and so `apt-key add` was being run
every time.
This fixes some unnecessary work being done on each puppet run on
Debian stretch.
I would have preferred to not need to do this by upgrading to
upstream, but see #7423 for notes on why that isn't going to work
(basically they broke support for puppet older than 4).
Apparently, these confused the puppet template parser, since they are
somewhat similar to its syntax, resulting in errors trying to use
these templates. It's easy enough to just remove the example
content from the base postgres config file.
We can't really do this in the zulip manifests (since it's sorta a
sysadmin policy decision), but these scripts can cause significant
load when Nagios logs into a server (because many of them take 50ms or
more of work to run). So we just get rid of them.
It seems unlikely we're going to add support for additional older
Debian-based distributions, so it makes sense to just use an else
statement. This should save a bit of busywork every time we add a new
distro.
Mostly, this involves adding the big block at the bottom and making
10 a variable so that it's easier to compare different versions of
these.
I did an audit of the configuration changes between 9.6 and 10, so
this should be fine, but it hasn't been tested yet.
Our recent addition of Content-Security-Policy to the file uploads
backend broke in-browser previews of PDFs.
The content-types change in the last commit fixed loading PDFs for
most users; but the result was ugly, because e.g. Chrome would put the
PDF previewer into a frame (so there were 2 left scrollbars).
There were two changes needed to fix this:
* Loading the style to use the plugin. We corrected this by adding
`style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';`
* Loading the plugin. Our CSP blocked loading the PDf viewer plugin.
To correct this, we add object-src 'self', and then limit the
plugin-type to just the one for application/pdf.
We verified this new CSP using https://csp-evaluator.withgoogle.com/
in addition to manual testing.
Previously, user-uploaded PDF files were not properly rendered by
browsers with the local uploads backend, because we weren't setting
the correct content-type.
This adds a basic Content-Security-Policy for user-uploaded avatars
served by the LOCAL_UPLOADS backend.
I think this is for now an unnecessary follow-up to
d608a9d315, but is worth doing because
we may later change what can be uploaded in the avatars directory.
This adds a basic Content-Security-Policy for user-uploaded files with local uploads.
While over time, we plan to add CSP for the main site as well, this CSP is particularly
important for the local-uploads backend, which often shares a domain with the main site.
Running this on additional machines would be redundant; additionally,
the FillState checker cron job runs only on cron systems, so this will
crash on other app frontends.
While this is a different system than I'd written up in #8004, I think
this is a better solution to the general problem of cron jobs to run
on just one server.
Fixes#8004.
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.
From here on we start to authenticate uploaded file request before
serving this files in production. This involves allowing NGINX to
pass on these file requests to Django for authentication and then
serve these files by making use on internal redirect requests having
x-accel-redirect field. The redirection on requests and loading
of x-accel-redirect param is handled by django-sendfile.
NOTE: This commit starts to authenticate these requests for Zulip
servers running platforms either Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) or above.
Fixes: #320 and #291 partially.
