This was only used for upgrading from Zulip < 1.9.0, which is no
longer possible because Zulip < 2.1.0 had no common supported
platforms with current main.
If we ever want this optimization for a future migration, it would be

Attempting to "upgrade" from `main` to 4.x should abort; Django does
not prevent running old code against the new database (though it
likely errors at runtime), and `./manage.py migrate` from the old
version during the "upgrade" does not downgrade the database, since
the migrations are entirely missing in that directory, so don't get
reversed.
Compare the list of applied migrations to the list of on-disk
migrations, and abort if there are applied migrations which are not
found on disk.
Fixes: #19284.
Services like go-camo and smokescreen are not stopped in stop-server,
since they are upgraded and restarted by puppet application. As such,
they also do not appear in start-server, despite the server relying on
them to be running to function properly.
Ensure those services are started, by starting them in start-server,
if they are configured in supervisor on the host.
For many uses, shelling out to `supervisorctl` is going to produce
better error messages. However, for instances where we wish to parse
the output of `supervisorctl`, using the API directly is less brittle.
The RabbitMQ docs state ([1]):
RabbitMQ nodes and CLI tools (e.g. rabbitmqctl) use a cookie to
determine whether they are allowed to communicate with each
other. [...] The cookie is just a string of alphanumeric
characters up to 255 characters in size. It is usually stored in a
local file.
...and goes on to state (emphasis ours):
If the file does not exist, Erlang VM will try to create one with
a randomly generated value when the RabbitMQ server starts
up. Using such generated cookie files are **appropriate in
development environments only.**
The auto-generated cookie does not use cryptographic sources of
randomness, and generates 20 characters of `[A-Z]`. Because of a
semi-predictable seed, the entropy of this password is thus less than
the idealized 26^20 = 94 bits of entropy; in actuality, it is 36 bits
of entropy, or potentially as low as 20 if the performance of the
server is known.
These sizes are well within the scope of remote brute-force attacks.
On provision, install, and upgrade, replace the default insecure
20-character Erlang cookie with a cryptographically secure
255-character string (the max length allowed).

5c450afd2d, in ancient history, switched from `check_call` to
`check_output` and throwing away its result.
Use check_call, so that we show the steps to (re)starting the server.
This is required in order to lock down the RabbitMQ port to only
listen on localhost. If the nodename is `rabbit@hostname`, in most
circumstances the hostname will resolve to an external IP, which the
rabbitmq port will not be bound to.
Installs which used `rabbit@hostname`, due to RabbitMQ having been
installed before Zulip, would not have functioned if the host or
RabbitMQ service was restarted, as the localhost restrictions in the
RabbitMQ configuration would have made rabbitmqctl (and Zulip cron
jobs that call it) unable to find the rabbitmq server.
The previous commit ensures that configure-rabbitmq is re-run after
the nodename has changed. However, rabbitmq needs to be stopped
before `rabbitmq-env.conf` is changed; we use an `onlyif` on an `exec`
to print the warning about the node change, and let the subsequent
config change and notify of the service and configure-rabbitmq to
complete the re-configuration.
`/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf` sets the nodename; anytime the
nodename changes, the backing database changes, and this requires
re-creating the rabbitmq users and permissions.
Trigger this in puppet by running configure-rabbitmq after the file
changes.
This reverts commit 889547ff5e. It is
unused in the Docker container, as the configurtaion of the `zulip`
user in the rabbitmq node is done via environment variables. The
Zulip host in that context does not have `rabbitmqctl` installed, and
would have needed to know the Erlang cookie to be able to run these
commands.
This addresses the problems mentioned in the previous commit, but for
existing installations which have `authenticator = standalone` in
their configurations.
This reconfigures all hostnames in certbot to use the webroot
authenticator, and attempts to force-renew their certificates.
Force-renewal is necessary because certbot contains no way to merely
update the configuration. Let's Encrypt allows for multiple extra
renewals per week, so this is a reasonable cost.
Because the certbot configuration is `configobj`, and not
`configparser`, we have no way to easily parse to determine if webroot
is in use; additionally, `certbot certificates` does not provide this
information. We use `grep`, on the assumption that this will catch
nearly all cases.
It is possible that this will find `authenticator = standalone`
certificates which are managed by Certbot, but not Zulip certificates.
These certificates would also fail to renew while Zulip is running, so
switching them to use the Zulip webroot would still be an improvement.
Fixes#20593.
Installing certbot with --method=standalone means that the
configuration file will be written to assume that the standalone
method will be used going forward. Since nginx will be running,
attempts to renew the certificate will fail.
Install a temporary self-signed certificate, just to allow nginx to
start, and then follow up (after applying puppet to start nginx) with
the call to setup-certbot, which will use the webroot authenticator.
The `setup-certbot --method=standalone` option is left intact, for use
in development environments.
Fixes part of #20593; it does not address installs which were
previously improperly configured with `authenticator = standalone`.

Restarting the uwsgi processes by way of supervisor opens a window
during which nginx 502's all responses. uwsgi has a configuration
called "chain reloading" which allows for rolling restart of the uwsgi
processes, such that only one process at once in unavailable; see
uwsgi documentation ([1]).
The tradeoff is that this requires that the uwsgi processes load the
libraries after forking, rather than before ("lazy apps"); in theory
this can lead to larger memory footprints, since they are not shared.
In practice, as Django defers much of the loading, this is not as much
of an issue. In a very basic test of memory consumption (measured by
total memory - free - caches - buffers; 6 uwsgi workers), both
immediately after restarting Django, and after requesting `/` 60 times
with 6 concurrent requests:
| Non-lazy | Lazy app | Difference
------------------+------------+------------+-------------
Fresh | 2,827,216 | 2,870,480 | +43,264
After 60 requests | 3,332,284 | 3,409,608 | +77,324
..................|............|............|.............
Difference | +505,068 | +539,128 | +34,060
That is, "lazy app" loading increased the footprint pre-requests by
43MB, and after 60 requests grew the memory footprint by 539MB, as
opposed to non-lazy loading, which grew it by 505MB. Using wsgi "lazy
app" loading does increase the memory footprint, but not by a large
percentage.
The other effect is that processes may be served by either old or new
code during the restart window. This may cause transient failures
when new frontend code talks to old backend code.
Enable chain-reloading during graceful, puppetless restarts, but only
if enabled via a zulip.conf configuration flag.
Fixes#2559.

If nginx was already installed, and we're using the webroot method of
initializing certbot, nginx needs to be reloaded. Hooks in
`/etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/deploy/` do not run during initial
`certbot certonly`, so an explicit reload is required.
The certbot package installs its own systemd timer (and cron job,
which disabled itself if systemd is enabled) which updates
certificates. This process races with the cron job which Zulip
installs -- the only difference being that Zulip respects the
`certbot.auto_renew` setting, and that it passes the deploy hook.
This means that occasionally nginx would not be reloaded, when the
systemd timer caught the expiration first.
Remove the custom cron job and `certbot-maybe-renew` script, and
reconfigure certbot to always reload nginx after deploying, using
certbot directory hooks.
Since `certbot.auto_renew` can't have an effect, remove the setting.
In turn, this removes the need for `--no-zulip-conf` to
`setup-certbot`. `--deploy-hook` is similarly removed, as running
deploy hooks to restart nginx is now the default; pass
`--no-directory-hooks` in standalone mode to not attempt to reload
nginx. The other property of `--deploy-hook`, of skipping symlinking
into place, is given its own flog.
We've had a number of unhappy reports of upgrades failing due to
webpack requiring too much memory. While the previous commit will
likely fix this issue for everyone, it's worth improving the error
message for failures here.
We avoid doing the stop+retry ourselves, because that could cause an
outage in a production system if webpack fails for another reason.
Fixes#20105.
Since the upgrade to Webpack 5, we've been seeing occasional reports
that servers with roughly 4GiB of RAM were getting OOM kills while
running webpack.
Since we can't readily optimize the memory requirements for webpack
itself, we should raise the RAM requirements for doing the
lower-downtime upgrade strategy.

Stopping both `zulip-tornado` and `zulip-tornado:*` causes errors on
deploys with tornado sharding, as the plain `zulip-tornado` service

well as the sharded `zulip-tornado:zulip-tornado-port-9800` cases.
The `analyze_new_cluster.sh` script output by `pg_upgrade` just runs
`vacuumdb --all --analyze-in-stages`, which runs three passes over the
database, getting better stats each time. Each of these passes is
independent; the third pass does not require the first two.
`--analyze-in-stages` is only provided to get "something" into the
database, on the theory that it could then be started and used. Since
we wait for all three passes to complete before starting the database,
the first two passes add no value.
Additionally, PosttgreSQL 14 and up stop writing the
`analyze_new_cluster.sh` script as part of `pg_upgrade`, suggesting
the equivalent `vacuumdb --all --analyze-in-stages` call instead.
Switch to explicitly call `vacuumdb --all --analyze-only`, since we do
not gain any benefit from `--analyze-in-stages`. We also enable
parallelism, with `--jobs 10`, in order to analyze up to 10 tables in
parallel. This may increase load, but will accelerate the upgrade
process.

We previously used `zulip-puppet-apply` with a custom config file,
with an updated PostgreSQL version but more limited set of
`puppet_classes`, to pre-create the basic settings for the new cluster
before running `pg_upgradecluster`.
Unfortunately, the supervisor config uses `purge => true` to remove
all SUPERVISOR configuration files that are not included in the puppet
configuration; this leads to it removing all other supervisor
processes during the upgrade, only to add them back and start them
during the second `zulip-puppet-apply`.
It also leads to `process-fts-updates` not being started after the
upgrade completes; this is the one supervisor config file which was
not removed and re-added, and thus the one that is not re-started due
to having been re-added. This was not detected in CI because CI added
a `start-server` command which was not in the upgrade documentation.
Set a custom facter fact that prevents the `purge` behaviour of the
supervisor configuration. We want to preserve that behaviour in
general, and using `zulip-puppet-apply` continues to be the best way
to pre-set-up the PostgreSQL configuration -- but we wish to avoid
that behaviour when we know we are applying a subset of the puppet
classes.
Since supervisor configs are no longer removed and re-added, this
requires an explicit start-server step in the instructions after the
upgrades complete. This brings the documentation into alignment with
what CI is testing.
These changes are all independent of each other; I just didn’t feel

ef6d0ec5ca moved
zulip_deliver_scheduled_* out of the `workers:` group. Since upgrades
run `stop-server` before applying puppet, the list of processes at
that time is from the previous version of Zulip, so may not have the
new `zulip_deliver_scheduled_*` names -- and the `stop-server` will
hence fail.
If the upgrade is not applying puppet, it will `restart-server`. At
that point, the old names will still be in the configuration, so
relying on the current `superisorctl status` is the best gauge of what
exists to restart.
In short, only ever stop/start/restart the `zulip_deliver_scheduled_*`
processes if `supervisorctl status` knows about them already.
Nonexistent processes and groups passed to `supervisortctl status` are
printed to STDOUT as follows:

This command is part of a statsd infrastructure that we stopped

Fixes part of #18898.
The current `upgrade-zulip` and `upgrade-zulip-from-git`
bash scripts exit with a zero status even if the
upgrade commands exit with a non-zero status.
Hence add `set -e` command which exits the script with
the same status as the non-zero command.
For pipe commands however, the net status of a command
is the status of the last command, hence if the other parts
fail, the net status is only determined by the last command.
This is the case with our main /lib/upgrade-zulip* command
in the scripts whose status is determined by the `tee` command
instead. Hence add a small condition to get the status of the
actual upgrade command and exit the script if it fails with
a non-zero command.
We also check whether the script is being run as root, matching the
install script logic.
This parameter is somewhat useful, and adding this also fixes a
regression where purge-old-deployments would crash since the changes
around c5580607a7 because of
inconsistent supported args lists.

If the server is behind a reverse proxy with http_only=True, the
requests made by email-mirror-postfix need to use http, as https

Staging and other hosts that are `zulip::app_frontend_base` but not
`zulip::app_frontend_once` do not have a
/etc/supervisor/conf.d/zulip/zulip-once.conf and as such do not have
`zulip_deliver_scheduled_emails` or `zulip_deliver_scheduled_messages`
and thus supervisor will fail to reload.
Making the contents of `zulip-workers` contingent on if the server is
_also_ a `-once` server is complicated, and would involve using Concat
fragments, which severely limit readability.
Instead, expel those two from `zulip-workers`; this is somewhat
reasonable, since they are use an entirely different codepath from
zulip_events_*, using the database rather than RabbitMQ for their
queuing.
We currently run the `clean_unused_caches.py` as a
script to clean the unused caches.
This commit replaces that with
`clean_unused_caches.main` function as it would be
faster.
This commit will allow us to pass the arguments in the
'clean...' functions when calling the `main` function (in
`provision`). It also changes args parsing
function location to `if __name__ == "__main__"` block as
we wouldn't need it to parse args when we call the
function.
We convert the `clean-unused-caches` script to a
python file so we can run it in provision by importing it
instead of running the script, hence saving some time.
Appending data back-to-back without serializing it loses the
information about where the breaks between them lie, which can lead to
different inputs having the same hash.
Using puppet modules from the puppet forge judiciously will allow us
to simplify the configuration somewhat; this specifically pulls in the
stdlib module, which we were already using parts of.
This moves the `.asc` files into subdirectories, and writes out the
according `.list` files into them. It moves from templates to
written-out `.list` files for clarity and ease of
implementation (Debian and Ubuntu need different templates for
`zulip`), and as a way of making explicit which releases are supported
for each list. For the special-case of the PGroonga signing key, we
source an additional file within the directory.
This simplifies the process for adding another class of `.list` file.

When upgrading from a pre-4.0 release, scripts/stop-server logic would
check whether supervisord configuration files were present to
determine what it needed to restart, but only considered paths to
those files that are introduced in Zulip 4.0.
Fixed#18493.
This ensures that the `git describe` queries that we run for caching
Zulip's Git version are guaranteed to include recent releases.
This change ensures that we have accurate output even if we're pointed
at a fork of Zulip that never updates its tags.
Additionally, it will make it possible to record the
`git merge-base upstream/master` in future commits.
Note that because we run this code before unpacking the new version,
the pre-upgrade version of this code runs.
As a result, we cannot assume that the upstream repository exists.
This removes a possible window where an installer error could leave
`nvm` in a state where it had prepended the full path to the
newly-installed `npm` to `$PATH`; we would like to avoid `nvm`
fiddling with path whenever possible (ref ebe930ab2c).
During the upgrade process of a postgresql-only Zulip installation,
(`puppet_classes = zulip::profile::postgresql` in
`/etc/zulip/zulip.conf`) either `scripts/start-server` or
`scripts/stop-server` fail because they try to handle supervisor
services that are not available (e.g. Tornado) since only
`/etc/supervisor/conf.d/zulip/zulip_db.conf` is present and not
`/etc/supervisor/conf.d/zulip/zulip.conf`.
While this wasn't previously supported, it's a pretty reasonable thing
to do, and can be readily supported by just adding a few conditionals.
Matching the full process name (-x without -f) or full command
line (-xf) is less prone to mistakes like matching a random substring

In some cases, puppet can end up restarting supervisord services - which
will use code from the old deployment, because when puppet runs,
/home/zulip/deployments/current still points there. Thus restart-server
needs to be used in favor of start-server, unless we know that puppet
has been skipped.
Previous versions of zulip used `nvm alias default ...` to have `nvm`
prepend the full path to the latest `node` install to the `PATH` in
root's shell. Unfortunately, this means that `update-prod-static`,
when called from `upgrade-zulip-stage-2` after an upgrade of node in
`install-node`, would still have the full path to the _old_ `node` at
the start of its PATH, because the PATH of `upgrade-zulip-stage-2`
would still be unchanged.
Bootstrap out of this by setting a known-reasonable PATH during
upgrade, and remove the problematic `nvm alias default` behaviour.
Fixes#18258.
In Debian, becoming root as `su` does not alter the `$PATH`; this can
lead to the root user not having `/usr/sbin` in its path, and thus
the `useradd zulip` step of the installer fails.
Fixes#17441.
Instead of taking the "onion" approach, where all services are
stopped, and then started back up again, default to a rolling restart
across all processes. This draws out how long the overall "restart"
takes, but minimizes the time that any of the services are down. This
minimizes user-visible impact and queue buildup.
In cases where speed is more important than minimal impact (for
example, there is already a current outage), a --less-graceful flag is
provided, which brings the services down more suddenly, and back up in
a still-correct order.
This hits the unauthenticated Github API to get the list of tags,
which is rate-limited to 60 requests per hour. This means that the
tool can only be run 60 times per hour before it starts to exit with
errors, but that seems like a reasonable limit for the moment.
This commit removes redundant yarn cache by removing the old
version directories, i.e. All the directory under `~/.cache/yarn`

Fixes#15964.
In general, `./scripts/restart-server` will already work in any
circumstance where the server is already stopped and needs to be
started. However, it will output a couple minor warnings, and it is
not readily obvious that it *will* work correctly.
Add an alias for `restart-server` named `start-server`, for
parallelism with `stop-server`, which omits the steps of
`restart-server` which would stop the server first.
Using `supervisorctl stop all` to stop the server is not terribly
discoverable, and may stop services which are not part of Zulip
proper.
Add an explicit tool which only stops the relevant services. It also
more carefully controls the order in which services are stopped to
minimize lost requests, and maximally quiesce the server.
Locations which may be stopping _older_ versions of Zulip (without
this script) are left with using `supervisorctl stop all`.
Fixes#14959.
