Starting with wal-g 2.0.1, they provide `aarch64` assets[^1].
Effectively revert d7b59c86ce, and use
the pre-built binary for `aarch64` rather than spend a bunch of space
and time having to build it from source.

A number of autossh connections are already left open for
port-forwarding Munin ports; autossh starts the connections and
ensures that they are automatically restarted if they are severed.
However, this represents a missed opportunity. Nagios's monitoring
uses a large number of SSH connections to the remote hosts to run
commands on them; each of these connections requires doing a complete
SSH handshake and authentication, which can have non-trivial network
latency, particularly for hosts which may be located far away, in a
network topology sense (up to 1s for a no-op command!).
Use OpenSSH's ability to multiplex multiple connections over a single
socket, to reuse the already-established connection. We leave an
explicit `ControlMaster no` in the general configuration, and not
`auto`, as we do not wish any of the short-lived Nagios connections to
get promoted to being a control socket if the autossh is not running
for some reason.
We enable protocol-level keepalives, to give a better chance of the
socket being kept open.
These hosts were excluded from `zulipconf_nagios_hosts` in
8cff27f67d, because it was replicating the previously hard-coded
behaviour exactly. That behaviour was an accident of history, in that
4fbe201187 and before had simply not monitored hosts of this class.
There is no reason to not add SSH tunnels and munin monitoring for
these hosts; stop skipping them.
Since Django factors request.is_secure() into its CSRF check, we need
this to tell it to consider requests forwarded from nginx to Tornado
as secure.

Some legitimate requests in Zulip can take more than 20s to be
processed, and we don't have a current problem where having a 20s
limit here is preventing a problem.
The `needrestart` tool added in 22.04 is useful in terms of listing
which services may need to be restarted to pick up updated libraries.
However, it prompts about the current state of services needing
restart for *every* subsequent `apt-get upgrade`, and defaulting core
services to restarting requires carefully manually excluding them
every time, at risk of causing an unscheduled outage.
Build a list of default-off services based on the list in
unattended-upgrades.
The default value in uwsgi is 4k; receiving more than this amount from
nginx leads to a 502 response (though, happily, the backend uwsgi does not
terminate).
ab18dbfde5 originally increased it from the unstated uwsgi default
of 4096, to 8192; b1da797955 made it configurable, in order to allow
requests from clients with many cookies, without causing 502's[1].
nginx defaults to a limitation of 1k, with 4 additional 8k header
lines allowed[2]; any request larger than that returns a response of
`400 Request Header Or Cookie Too Large`. The largest header size
theoretically possible from nginx, by default, is thus 33k, though
that would require packing four separate headers to exactly 8k each.
Remove the gap between nginx's limit and uwsgi's, which could trigger
502s, by removing the uwsgi configurability, and setting a 64k size in
uwsgi (the max allowable), which is larger than nginx's default limit.
uWSGI's documentation of `buffer-size` ([3], [4]) also notes that "It
is a security measure too, so adapt to your app needs instead of
maxing it out." Python has no security issues with buffers of 64k,
and there is no appreciable memory footprint difference to having a
larger buffer available in uwsgi.

This check loads Django, and as such must be run as the zulip user.
Repeat the same pattern used elsewhere in nagios, of writing a state
file, which is read by `check_cron_file`.
Replication checks should only run on primary and replicas, not
standalone hosts; while `autovac_freeze` currently only runs on
primary hosts, it functions identically on replicas, and is fine to
run there.
Make `autovac_freeze` run on all `postgresql` hosts, and make
standalone hosts no longer `postgres_primary`, so they do not fail the
replication tests.
These style of checks just look for matching process names using
`check_remote_arg_string`, which dates to 8edbd64bb8. These were
added because the original two (`missedmessage_emails` and
`slow_queries`) did not create consumers, instead polling for events.
Switch these to checking the queue consumer counts that the
`check-rabbitmq-consumers` check is already writing out. Since the
`missedmessage_emails` was _already_ checked via the consumer check, a
duplicate is not added.
Even the `pageable_servers` group did not page for high load -- in
part because what was "high" depends on the servers. Set slightly
better limits based on server role.
`zmirror` itself was `zmirror_main` + `zmirrorp` but was unused; we
consistently just use the term `zmirror` for the non-personals server,
so use it as the hostgroup name.
The Redis nagios checks themselves are done against `redis` +
`frontends` groups, so there is no need to misleadingly place
`frontends` in the `redis` hostgroup.
5abf4dee92 made this distinction, then multitornado_frontends was
never used; the singletornado_frontends alerting worked even for the
multiple-Tornado instances.
Remove the useless and misleading distinction.
Even if Django and PostgreSQL are on the same host, the `nagios` user
may lack permissions to read accessory configuration files needed to
load the Django configuration (e.g. authentication keys).
Catch those failures, and switch to loading the required settings from
`/etc/zulip/zulip.conf`.
Without this, uwsgi does not release the GIL before going back into
`epoll_wait` to wait for the next request. This results in any
background threads languishing, unserviced.[1]
Practically, this results in Sentry background reporter threads timing
out when attempting to post results -- but only in situations with low
traffic, as in those significant time is spent in `epoll_wait`. This
is seen in logs as:
WARN [urllib3.connectionpool] Retrying (Retry(total=1, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'SSLError(SSLEOFError(8, 'EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:1131)'))': /api/123456789/envelope/
Or:
WARN [urllib3.connectionpool] Retrying (Retry(total=0, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response'))': /api/123456789/envelope/
Sentry attempts to detect this and warn, but due to startup ordering,
the warning is not printed without lazy-loading.
Enable threads, at a miniscule performance cost, in order to support
background workers like Sentry[2].

This is a reprise of c97162e485, but for the case where certbot
certs are no longer in use by way of enabling `http_only` and letting
another server handle TLS termination.
Fixes: #22034.
This allows system-level configuration to be done by `apt-get install`
of nginx modules, which place their load statements in this directory.
The initial import in ed0cb0a5f8 of the stock nginx config omitted
this include -- one potential explanation was in an effort to reduce
the memory footprint of the server.
The default nginx install enables:
50-mod-http-auth-pam.conf
50-mod-http-dav-ext.conf
50-mod-http-echo.conf
50-mod-http-geoip2.conf
50-mod-http-geoip.conf
50-mod-http-image-filter.conf
50-mod-http-subs-filter.conf
50-mod-http-upstream-fair.conf
50-mod-http-xslt-filter.conf
50-mod-mail.conf
50-mod-stream.conf
While Zulip doesn't actively use any of these, they likely don't do
any harm to simply be loaded -- they are loaded into every nginx by
default.
Having the `modules-enabled` include allows easier extension of the
server, as neither of the existing wildcard
includes (`/etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf` and
`/etc/nginx/zulip-include/app.d/*.conf`) are in the top context, and
thus able to load modules.
54b6a83412 fixed the typo introduced in 49ad188449, but that does
not clean up existing installs which had the file with the wrong name
already.
Remove the file with the typo'd name, so two jobs do not race, and fix
the typo in the comment.
The top-level `chdir` setting only does the chdir once, at initial
`uwsgi` startup time. Rolling restarts, however, however, require
that `uwsgi` pick up the _new_ value of the `current` directory, and
start new workers in that directory -- as currently implemented,
rolling restarts cannot restart into newer versions of the code, only
the same one in which they were started.
Use [configurable hooks][1] to execute the `chdir` after every fork.
This causes the following behaviour:
```
Thu May 12 18:56:55 2022 - chain reload starting...
Thu May 12 18:56:55 2022 - chain next victim is worker 1
Gracefully killing worker 1 (pid: 1757689)...

Thu May 12 18:57:00 2022 - chain next victim is worker 2
[...]
```
..and so forth down the line of processes. Each process is correctly
started in the _current_ value of `current`, and thus picks up the
correct code.

Our current EC2 systems don’t have an interface named ‘eth0’, and if
they did, this script would do nothing but crash with ImportError
because we have never installed boto.utils for Python 3.
(The message of commit 2a4d851a7c made
an effort to document for future researchers why this script should
not have been blindly converted to Python 3. However, commit
2dc6d09c2a (#14278) was evidently
unresearched and untested.)

Switch the PostgreSQL 10 and 11 configuration to check
`s3_backups_bucket`, like the other versions.
It is possible to have previously installed certbot, but switched back
to using self-signed certificates -- in which case renewing them using
certbot may fail.
Verify that the certificate is a symlink into certbot's output
directory before running `fix-standalone-certbot`.

Since wal-g does not provide binaries for aarch64, build them from
source. While building them from source for arm64 would better ensure
that build process is tested, the build process takes 7min and 700M of
temp files, which is an unacceptable cost; we thus only build on
aarch64.
Since the wal-g build process uses submodules, which are not in the
Github export, we clone the full wal-g repository. Because the
repository is relatively small, we clone it anew on each new version,
rather than attempt to manage the remotes.
Fixes#21070.
The default timeout for `exec` commands in Puppet is 5 minutes[1]. On
slow connections, this may not be sufficient to download larger
downloads, such as the ~135MB golang tarball.
Increase the timeout to 10 minutes; this is a minimum download speed
of is ~225kB/s.
