This didn't really make much sense - it presented a quickstart summary
of the instructions as an item in the list of differences from the
Ubuntu case, plus that quickstart only incorporated one of the two
actual differences so it didn't work anyway. Given the networking
stuff, an actual quickstart isn't in the cards, so just cut that.
Also fix some small things while we're here.
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.
Update version of Vagrant from 1.8.6 to 2.0.2.
Update version of VirtualBox from 5.1.8 to 5.2.6.
We needed to update Vagrant because older versions have networking
problems on modern Macs, resulting in weird `apt` errors when
provisioning.
Commit message and some text tweaked by tabbott.
This commit also adds a tool to push translation sources to Transifex.
This tool makes sure that we don't push mobile source file. Mobile
source file is supposed to be handled from Zulip-Mobile repo.
This quiets the last of the warnings that Sphinx was giving us about
documents not being in any toctree, now that we've explicitly told it
with `:orphan:` about the documents we intentionally don't link there.
Now that we have `eval_rst` and can explicitly exclude pages from the
toctree completely, we no longer need to set `includehidden`, and we
can return to using upstream's template.
(Meanwhile, our feature request upstream was successful! See
rtfd/sphinx_rtd_theme#485, which upstream implemented just a week
after we requested it. So that would have been another option.)
This reverts commit 11b8b8f48 "docs: Add rtd layout template."
This is what the Sphinx docs recommend when you actually don't want
the page to be included in navigation:
http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/toctree.html
And now that we have `eval_rst`, we're able to take advantage of it!
One difference between doing this and the old way of making "hidden"
toctree entries is that with the latter, the "previous" and "next"
links at the bottom of each page would thread through the hidden
entries; which gets kind of confusing when they don't appear in the nav.
The careful testing with dozens of realms was a discrete thing
that happened, not a general state that the tool was in;
certainly not the last state it was known to be in, as the rest
of the sentence explains how it hasn't been so carefully tested
since then. So "as of" doesn't fit.
This is easy now, so make it known to admins who are looking for a
fast path for a test install.
Also totally cut the painfully complicated steps for generating a
self-signed cert by hand. Anyone who actually wants that can find a
hundred explanations on the Web, or can look at our script if they
want to specifically mirror how we do it (which is mercifully much
simpler than this.)
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.
This allows us to selectively use some of the powerful features of
ReST which Python projects with high-quality documentation (like
Python core, and Django) rely on.
It's now January 2018, so we can delete this caveat, right?
Not quite yet -- the original post we link to now has an
update saying 2018-02-27. Let's make it less specific,
in case the date changes again.
Bulleted information instead of prose, huzzah! Also I think we need
to explain the options a bit right here, or at least link to where
they're documented somewhere. (If the list gets much longer, we'll
want to shift toward the latter.)
Also reorganize existing information a bit, and clean up a couple
of nits.
What I really want is to give these sections nice stable slugs
to put on the anchors and use as the URL fragment, independent of
any wording tweaks on the text headings. But I don't think we
have that feature with Markdown and our current docs infrastructure.
At least for Certbot, the brevity helps make this heading clearer
than the previous one.
Hopefully this version makes it somewhat clearer how the different
methods relate to each other, how to choose between them, what
`ZulipRemoteUserBackend` is for, and how the latter works.
Previous versions of these links were removed earlier today because
Docker upstream had broken them.
To see what the links had been intended to point to, I used the
Wayback Machine (web.archive.org/web), the super-handy project of the
Internet Archive. These are the current equivalents.
We made this change because users often unnecessarily click "Home"
first in their use of Zulip, because it seems appealing. While "All
messages" isn't quite precise (it doesn't include muted streams), it
does describe relatively simply the interleaved view that this
represents.
This commit leaves everything as "home" in the code, and only changes
user-visible strings and docs. Changing the code will be a big project;
there are hundreds of relevant occurrences in variable names, etc.
Further, we'll probably want to convert those various variable names
in different ways.
Tweaked by tabbott to extend the commit message and update a few comments.
Sphinx was displaying "WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree"
for files we just don't want in the TOC. We can hide them from the index,
but the rtd theme defaults to display hidden index entries in the nav bar.
This commit excludes these files from such warnings, and patches layout.html
so that hidden index entries stay hidden from the navigation sidebar.
This commit also moves password-strength.md under docs/production and
adds it as a hidden entry in production/index.rst.
Fixes#7417.
The readthedocs theme overrides a few settings in their layout template.
We might want to change some settings back to their default values.
This commit copies the original readthedocs layout file from
https://github.com/rtfd/sphinx_rtd_theme/blob/master/sphinx_rtd_theme/layout.html
to _templates/layout.html, and excludes it from lint and template checks.
Addresses #7417.
This doesn't touch the main path through the install docs; that will
see a broader rewrite soon as we make outbound email optional for a
nascent server, make the hostname and admin email into mandatory
installer flags, and then radically simplify the instructions by
removing mandatory editing of `settings.py` and folding most of what's
left into the installer.
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.
This adds a few missing entries to the TOC, which hadn't made sense
back when Zulip's ReadTheDocs didn't have the new collapsing feature.
Tweaked by tabbott to also give the SSL certificates doc an
appropriate title for its new role.
Expand bullets "[+]" show up on locals instance, but they
do not show up online on readthedocs. The expand icon is valuable
to indicate that each section has more content.
The problem is readthedocs appends code to conf.py that overrides the
html_theme_options prior to a build. This commit prevents this from
happening so that collapse_navigation remains set to False.
In response to merged PR 7326.
This updates the developer documentation to recommend `git clone -c`
to set the git pull mode to be rebase by default in the repository
configuration.
The hope is that this will help minimize how often new contributors
end up accidentally messing up their PRs by using `git pull`.
Tweaked by tabbott to fix broken links and optimize the language.
Fixes: #7022.
