Nagios refuses to allow any modifications with use_authentication off;
re-enabled "authentication" but set a default user, which (by way of
the `*` permissions in 359f37389a) is allowed to take all actions.
This requires switching to a reverse tunnel for the auth connection,
with the side effect that the `zulip_ops::teleport::node` manifest can
be applied on servers anywhere in the Internet; they do not need to
have any publicly-available open ports.
This means that services will only open their ports if they are
actually run, without having to clutter rules.v4 with a log of `if`
statements.
This does not go as far as using `puppetlabs/firewall`[1] because that
would represent an additional DSL to learn; raw IPtables sections can
easily be inserted into the generated iptables file via
`concat::fragment` (either inline, or as a separate file), but config
can be centralized next to the appropriate service.

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.
Rather than duplicate logic from `computed_settings`, use the values
that were computed therein.

Using the second branch _only_ for case (3), of a PostgreSQL server on
a different host, leaves it untested in CI. It also brings in an
unnecessary Django dependency.

We only need to read the `zulip.conf` file to determine if we're using
PGROONGA if we are on the PostgreSQL machine, with no access to
Django.

The only way in which "host" could be set is in cases (1) or (2), when
it was potentially read from Django's settings. In case (3), we
already know we are on the same host as the PostgreSQL server.
This unifies the two separated checks, which are actually the same
check.

`deliver_scheduled_emails` and `deliver_scheduled_messages` use the
`ScheduledEmail` and `ScheduledMessage` tables as a queue,
effectively, pulling values off of them. As noted in their comments,
this is not safe to run on multiple hosts at once. As such, split out
the supervisor files for them.
These thresholds are in relationship to the
`autovacuum_freeze_max_age`, *not* the XID wraparound, which happens
at 2^31-1. As such, it is *perfectly normal* that they hit 100%, and
then autovacuum kicks in and brings it back down. The unusual
condition is that PostgreSQL pushes past the point where an autovacuum
would be triggered -- therein lies the XID wraparound danger.
With the `autovacuum_freeze_max_age` set to 2000000000 in
`postgresql.conf`, XID wraparound happens at 107.3%. Set the warning
and error thresholds to below this, but above 100% so this does not
trigger constantly.
This makes it parallel with deliver_scheduled_messages, and clarifies
that it is not used for simply sending outgoing emails (e.g. the
`email_senders` queue).
This also renames the supervisor job to match.
Matching the full process name (-x without -f) or full command
line (-xf) is less prone to mistakes like matching a random substring
of some other command line or pgrep matching itself.

The `en_US.UTF-8` locale may not be configured or generated on all
installs; it also requires that the `locales` package be installed.
If users generate the `en_US.UTF-8` locale without adding it to the
permanent set of system locales, the generated `en_US.UTF-8` stops
working when the `locales` package is updated.
Switch to using `C.UTF-8` in all cases, which is guaranteed to be
installed.
Fixes#15819.
In puppet, we use pgrep in the collection stage, to see if rabbitmq is
running. Sufficiently bare-bones systems will not have
`procps` (which provides `pgrep`) installed yet, which makes the
install abort when running `puppet` for the first time.
Just installing the `procps` package in Puppet is insufficient,
because the check in the `unless` block runs when Puppet is
determining which resources it needs to instantiate, and in what
order; any package installation has yet to happen. As
`erlang-base` (which provides `epmd`) happens to have a dependency of
`procps`, any system without `pgrep` will also not have `epmd`
installed or running. Regardless, it is safe to run `epmd -daemon`
even if one is already running, as the comment above notes.
Using `pgrep -f epmd` to determine if `empd` is running is a race
condition with itself, since the pgrep is attempting to match the
"full process name" and its own full process name contains "epmd".
This leads to epmd not being started when it should be, which in turn
leads to rabbitmq-server failing to start.
Use the standard trick for this, namely a one-character character
class, to prevent self-matching.
We use the snakeoil TLS certificate for PostgreSQL and Postfix; some
VMs install the `ssl-cert` package but (reasonably) don't build the
snakeoil certs into the image.
Build them as needed.
Fixes#14955.
`uploads-route.noserve` and `uploads-route.internal` contained
identical location blocks for `/upload`, since differentiation was
necessary for Trusty until 33c941407b72; move the now-common sections
into `app`.
This the only differences between internal and S3 serving as a single
block which should be included or not based on config; move it to a
file which may or may not be placed in `app.d/`.
07779ea879 added an additional `proxy_set_header` of `X-Real-IP` to
`puppet/zulip/files/nginx/zulip-include-common/proxy`; as noted in
that commit, Tornado longpoll proxies already included such a line.
Unfortunately, this equates to setting that header _twice_ for Tornado
ports, like so:
```
X-Real-Ip: 198.199.116.58
X-Real-Ip: 198.199.116.58
```
...which is represented, once parsed by Django, as an IP of
`198.199.116.58, 198.199.116.58`. For IPv4, this odd "IP address" has
no problems, and appears in the access logs accordingly; for IPv6
addresses, however, its length is such that it overflows a call to
`getaddrinfo` when attempting to determine the validity of the IP.
Remove the now-duplicated inclusion of the header.
The `X-Forwarded-For` header is a list of proxies' IP addresses; each
proxy appends the remote address of the host it received its request
from to the list, as it passes the request down. A naïve parsing, as
SetRemoteAddrFromForwardedFor did, would thus interpret the first
address in the list as the client's IP.
However, clients can pass in arbitrary `X-Forwarded-For` headers,
which would allow them to spoof their IP address. `nginx`'s behavior
is to treat the addresses as untrusted unless they match an allowlist
of known proxies. By setting `real_ip_recursive on`, it also allows
this behavior to be applied repeatedly, moving from right to left down
the `X-Forwarded-For` list, stopping at the right-most that is
untrusted.
Rather than re-implement this logic in Django, pass the first
untrusted value that `nginx` computer down into Django via `X-Real-Ip`
header. This allows consistent IP addresses in logs between `nginx`
and Django.
Proxied calls into Tornado (which don't use UWSGI) already passed this
header, as Tornado logging respects it.
This verifies that the proxy is working by accessing a
highly-available website through it. Since failure of this equates to
failures of Sentry notifications and Android mobile push
notifications, this is a paging service.
All of `/var/log/nginx/` is chown'd to `zulip` and the nginx processes
themselves run as `nginx`, and would thus (on their own) create new
logfiles as `zulip`. Having `logrotate` create them as the package
default of `www-data` means that they are momentarily unreadable by
the `zulip` user just after rotation, which can cause problems with
logtail scripts.
Commit the standard `nginx` logrotate configuration, but with the
`zulip` user instead of the `www-data` user.
0663b23d54 changed zulip-puppet-apply to
use the venv, because it began using `yaml` to parse the output of
puppet to determine if changes would happen.
However, not every install ends with a venv; notably, non-frontend
servers do not have one. Attempting to run zulip-puppet-apply on them
hence now fails.
Remove this dependency on the venv, by installing a system
python3-yaml package -- though in reality, this package is already an
indirect dependency of the system. Especially since pyyaml is quite
stable, we're not using it in any interesting way, and it does not
actually add to the dependencies, it is preferable to parsing the YAML
by hand in this instance.
This reverts commit 211232978f. The
`rabbitmq` user does not exist yet on first install, and the goal is
to create the `rabbitmq-env.conf` file before the package is
installed.
In production, the `wildcard-zulipchat.com.combined-chain.crt` file is
just a symlink to the snakeoil certificates; but we do not puppet that
symlink, which makes new hosts fail to start cleanly. Instead, point
explicitly to the snakeoil certificate, and explain why.
Directives in `location` blocks may or may not inherit from
surrounding `location` blocks; specifically, `add_header` directives
do not[1]:
> There could be several add_header directives. These directives are
> inherited from the previous configuration level if and only if there
> are no add_header directives defined on the current level.
In order to maintain the same headers (including, critically,
`Access-Control-Allow-Origin`) as the surrounding block, all
`add_header` directives must thus be repeated (which includes the
`include`).
For clarity, un-nest and repeat the entire `location` block as was
used for `/static/`, but with the additional `add_header`. This is
preferred to the of an `if $request_uri` statement to add the header,
as those can have unexpected or undefined results[2].

Redis is not nagios, and this only leads to confusion as to why there
is a nagios domain setting on frontend servers; it also leaves the
`redis0` part of the name buried in the template.
Switch to an explicit variable for the redis hostname.
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.
This means that in steady-state, `zulip-puppet-apply` is expected to
produce no changes or commands to execute. The verification step of
`setup-apt-repo` is quite fast, so this cleans up the output for very
little cost.
These optimizations only makes sense when all connections at a TCP
level are coming from the same host or set of hosts; as such, they
are only enabled if `loadbalancer.ips` is set in the `zulip.conf`.
This is required for unattended upgrades to actually run regularly.
In some distributions, it may be found in 20auto-upgrades, but placing
it here makes it more discoverable.
We haven't actively used this plugin in years, and so it was never
converted from the 2014-era monitoring to detect the hostname.
This seems worth fixing since we may want to migrate this logic to a
more modern monitoring system, and it's helpful to have it correct.
79931051bd allows outgoing emails from
localhost, but outgoing recipients are still subjected to virtualmaps.
This caused all outgoing email from Zulip with destination addresses
containing `.`, `+`, or starting with `mm`, to be redirected back
through the email gateway.
Bracket the virualmap addresses used for local delivery to the mail
gateway with a restriction on the domain matching the
`postfix.mailname` configuration, regex-escaped, so those only apply
to email destined for that domain.
The hostname is _not_ moved from `mydestination` to
`virtual_alias_domains`, as that would preclude delivery to
actually-local addresses, like `postmaster@`.
We run this tool at DEBUG log level in production, so we will still
see the notice on startup there; this avoids a spammy line in the
development environment output..
`wal-g wal-push` has a known bug with occasionally hanging after file

Logging `Host` is useful for determining access patterns to realms,
especially if ROOT_DOMAIN_LANDING_PAGE is set. Total response time is
useful in debugging access and performance patterns.
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.
This provides a single reference point for all zulip.conf settings;
these mostly link out to the more complete documentation about each
setting, elsewhere.
Fixes#12490.
There is only one PostgreSQL database; the "appdb" is irrelevant.
Also use "postgresql," as it is the name of the software, whereas
"postgres" the name of the binary and colloquial name. This is minor
cleanup, but enabled by the other renames in the previous commit.
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.
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.

This also removes direct includes of `zulip::common`, making
`zulip::base` gatekeep the inclusion of it. This helps enforce that
any top-level deploy only needs include a single class, and that any
configuration which is not meant to be deployed by itself will not
apply, due to lack of `zulip::common` include.
The following commit will better differentiate these top-level deploys
by moving them into a subdirectory.
Relying on `defined(Class['...'])` makes the class sensitive to
resource evaluation ordering, and thus brittle. It is also only
functional for a single service (thumbor).
Generalize by using `purge => true` for the directory to automatically
remove all un-managed files. This is more general than the previous
form, and may result in additional not-managed services being removed.
Restarting servers is what can cause service interruptions, and
increase risk. Add all of the servers that we use to the list of
ignored packages, and uncomment the default allowed-origins in order
to enable unattended upgrades.
d2aa81858c replaced the `apt::source` to set up debathena with
`Exec['setup-apt-repo-debathena']`, but mistakenly left the
`apt::source` in place in `zmirror` (but not `zmirror_personals`).
The `apt::source` resource type was later removed in c9d54f7854,
making the manifest to apply on `zmirror`.
Remove the broken and unnecessary `apt::source` resource.
This property is not related to the base zulip install; move it to
zulip::postgres_common, which is already used as a namespace for
various postgres variables.
There was likely more dependency complexity prior to 97766102df, but
there is now no reason to require that consumers explicitly include
zulip::apt_repository.
Use https://github.com/stripe/smokescreen to provide a server for an
outgoing proxy, run under supervisor. This will allow centralized
blocking of internal metadata IPs, localhost, and so forth, as well as
providing default request timeouts (10s by default).
We should eventually add templating for the set of hosts here, but
it's worth merging this change to remove the deleted hostname and
replace it with the current one.
Disabled on webservers in 047817b6b0, it has since lingered in
configuration, as well as running (to no effect) every minute on the
loadbalancer.
Remove the vestiges of its configuration.
This banner shows on lb1, advertising itself as lb0. There is no
compelling reason for a custom motd, especially one which needs to
be reconfigured for each host.
Since this was using repead individual get() calls previously, it
could not be monitored for having a consumer. Add it in, by marking
it of queue type "consumer" (the default), and adding Nagios lines for
it.
Also adjust missedmessage_emails to be monitored; it stopped using
LoopQueueProcessingWorker in 5cec566cb9, but was never added back
into the set of monitored consumers.
The rabbitmq cron jobs exist in order to call rabbitmqctl as root and
write the output to files that nagios can consume, since nagios is not
allowed to run rabbitmqctl.
In systems which do not have nagios configured, these every-minute
cron jobs add non-insignificant load, to no effect. Move their
installation into `zulip_ops`. In doing so, also combine the cron.d
files into a single file; this allows us to `ensure => absent` the old
filenames, removing them from existing systems. Leave the resulting
combined cron.d file in `zulip`, since it is still of general utility
and note.
The configuration change made in 1c17583ad5 only allowed delivery to
those specific Zulip addresses. However, they also prevent the
mailserver from being used as an outgoing email relay from Zulip,
since all mail that passed through the mailserver (from any
originator) was required to have a `RCPT TO` that matched those
regexes.
Allow mail originating from `mynetworks` to have an arbitrary
addresses in `RCPT TO`.
Use the validation of the tornado sharding config that
`stage_updated_sharding` does, by depending on it. This ensures that
we don't write out a supervisor or nginx config based on a
bad (e.g. non-sequential) list of tornado ports.
Fingerprinting the config is somewhat brittle -- it requires either
custom bootstrapping for old (fingerprint-less) configs, and may have
false-positives.
Since generating the config is lightweight, do so into the .tmp files,
and compare the output to the originals to determine if there are
changes to apply.
In order to both surface errors, as well as notify the user in case a
restart is necessary, we must run it twice. The `onlyif`
functionality cannot show configuration errors to the user, only
determine if the command runs or not. We thus run the command once,
judging errors as "interesting" enough to run the actual command,
whose failure will be verbose in Puppet and halt any steps that depend
on it.
Removing the `onlyif` would result in `stage_updated_sharding` showing
up in the output of every Puppet run, which obscures the important
messages it displays when an update to sharding is necessary.
Removing the `command` (e.g. making it an `echo`) would result in
removing the ability to report configuration errors. We thus have no
choice but to run it twice; this is thankfully low-overhead.
We can compute the intended number of processes from the sharding
configuration. In doing so, also validate that all of the ports are
contiguous.
This removes a discrepancy between `scripts/lib/sharding.py` and other
parts of the codebase about if merely having a `[tornado_sharding]`
section is sufficient to enable sharding. Having behaviour which
changes merely based on if an empty section exists is surprising.
This does require that a (presumably empty) `9800` configuration line
exist, but making that default explicit is useful.
After this commit, configuring sharding can be done by adding to
`zulip.conf`:
```
[tornado_sharding]
9800 = # default
9801 = other_realm
```
Followed by running `./scripts/refresh-sharding-and-restart`.
In development and test, we keep the Tornado port at 9993 and 9983,
respectively; this allows tests to run while a dev instance is
running.
In production, moving to port 9800 consistently removes an odd edge
case, when just one worker is on an entirely different port than if
two workers are used.
Without an explicit port number, the `stdout_logfile` values for each
port are identical. Supervisor apparently decides that it will
de-conflict this by appending an arbitrary number to the end:
```
/var/log/zulip/tornado.log
/var/log/zulip/tornado.log.1
/var/log/zulip/tornado.log.10
/var/log/zulip/tornado.log.2
/var/log/zulip/tornado.log.3
/var/log/zulip/tornado.log.7
/var/log/zulip/tornado.log.8
/var/log/zulip/tornado.log.9
```
This is quite confusing, since most other files in `/var/log/zulip/`
use `.1` to mean logrotate was used. Also note that these are not all
sequential -- 4, 5, and 6 are mysteriously missing, though they were
used in previous restarts. This can make it extremely hard to debug
logs from a particular Tornado shard.
Give the logfiles a consistent name, and set them up to logrotate.
Making this include "zulip-tornado" makes it clearer in supervisor
logs. Without this, one only sees:
```
2020-09-14 03:43:13,788 INFO waiting for port-9807 to stop
2020-09-14 03:43:14,466 INFO stopped: port-9807 (exit status 1)
2020-09-14 03:43:14,469 INFO spawned: 'port-9807' with pid 24289

```
This supports running puppet to pick up new sharding changes, which
will warn of the need to finalize them via
`refresh-sharding-and-restart`, or simply running that directly.
Clients that close their socket to nginx suddenly also cause nginx to close
its connection to uwsgi. When uwsgi finishes computing the response,
it thus tries to write to a closed socket, and generates either
IOError or SIGPIPE failures.
Since these are caused by the _client_ closing the connection
suddenly, they are not actionable by the server. At particularly high
volumes, this could represent some sort of server-side failure;
however, this is better detected by examining status codes at the
loadbalancer. nginx uses the error code 499 for this occurrence:
https://httpstatuses.com/499
Stop uwsgi from generating this family of exception entirely, using
configuration for uwsgi[1]; it documents these errors as "(annoying),"
hinting at their general utility."
[1] https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Options.html#ignore-sigpipe
Increasing the uwsgi listen backlog is intended to allow it to handle
higher connection rates during server restart, when many clients may
be trying to connect. The kernel, in turn, needs to have a
proportionally increased somaxconn soas to not refuse the connection.
Set somaxconn to 2x the uwsgi backlog, but no lower than the
default (128).
Prior to PostgreSQL 12, the `recovery_target_timeline` setting is only
valid in a `recovery.conf` file, as that file has its own
configuration parser. As such, including it in `postgresql.conf`
results in an error, and PostgreSQL will fail to start.
Remove the setting, reverting bff3b540b1. This fixes PostgreSQL 9.5,
9.6, 10, and 11; while the setting is not an error in a PostgreSQL 12
configuration file, it is unnecessary since `latest` is the default.
7d4a370a57 attempted to move the replication check to on the
PostgreSQL hosts. While it updated the _check_ to assume it was
running and talking to a local PostgreSQL instance, the configuration
and installation for the check were not updated. As such, the check
ran on the nagios host for each DB host, and produced no output.
Start distributing the check to all apopdb hosts, and configure nagios
to use the SSH tunnel to get there.
wal-g was used in `puppet/zulip` by env-wal-g, but only installed in
`puppet/zulip_ops`.
Merge all of the dependencies of doing backups using wal-g (wal-g
installation, the pg_backup_and_purge job, the nagios plugin that
verifies it happens) into a common base class in `puppet/zulip`, since
it is generally useful.
No plugins are installed inside the /usr/local/munin/lib this creates
in munin-node, nor are they symlinked into /etc/munin/plugins, so
non-default plugins are added by this.
The one complexity is that hosts_fullstack are treated differently, as
they are not currently found in the manual `hosts` list, and as such
do not get munin monitoring.
check_memcached does not support memcached authentication even in its
latest release (it’s in a TODO item comment, and that’s it), and was
never particularly useful.
When supervisor is first installed, it is started automatically, and
creates the socket, owned by root. Subsequent reconfiguration in
puppet only calls `reread + update`, which is insufficient to apply
the `chown = zulip:zulip` line in `supervisord.conf`, leaving the
socket owned by `root` and the last part of the installation unable to
restart `supervisor` services as the `zulip` user. The `chown` line
in `scripts/lib/install` exists to paper over this.
Add a separate exec target for changes to `supervisord.conf` itself,
which restarts the full service. This leaves the default `restart`
action on the service for the lightweight `reread + update` action,
which is more common.
We use `systemctl` only on redhat-esque builds, because CI runs
Ubuntu, but init is not systemd in that context. `systemctl reload`
is sufficient to re-apply the socket ownership, but a full `restart`
and not `reload` is necessary under `/etc/init.d/supervisor`.
wal-g has a slihghtly different format than wal-e in its `backup-list`
output; it only contains three columns:
- `name`
- `last_modified`,
- `wal_segment_backup_start`
..rather than wal-e's plethora, most of which were blank:
- `name`
- `last_modified`
- `expanded_size_bytes`
- `wal_segment_backup_start`
- `wal_segment_offset_backup_start`
- `wal_segment_backup_stop`
- `wal_segment_offset_backup_stop`
Remove one argument from the split.
In Bionic, nagios-plugins-basic is a transitional package which
depends on monitoring-plugins-basic. In Focal, it is a virtual
package, which means that every time puppet runs, it tries to
re-install the nagios-plugins-basic package.
Switch all instances to referring to `$zulip::common::nagios_plugins`,
and repoint that to monitoring-plugins-basic.
Frontend hosts in multiple-host configurations (including docker
hosts) need a `psql` binary installed. ca9d27175b switched to not
setting `postgresql.version` in `zulip.conf`, which in turn means that
`$zulip::base::postgres_version` is unset. This, in turn, led to the
frontend hosts installing `postgresql-client-`, whose trailing dash
causes apt to _uninstall_ that package.
Unconditionally install `postgresql-client` with no explicit version
attached. This is a metapackage which depends on the latest client
package, which currently means it will install `postgresql-client-12`.
On single-host installs which have configured `postgresql.version` in
`zulip.conf` to be a lower version, this will result in
`postgresql-client-12` existing alongside another
version (e.g. `postgresql-client-10`); `psql` will give the most
recent. This is acceptable because the semantic meaning of the
postgresql version in `zulip.conf` is about the database engine
itself, not the command-line client.
Support for Xenial and Stretch was removed (5154ddafca, 0f4b1076ad,
8944e0ad53, 79acd5ae40, 1219a2e854), but not all codepaths were
updated to remove their conditionals on it.
Remove all code predicated on Xenial or Stretch. debathena support
was migrated to Bionic, since that appears to be the current state of
existing debathena servers.
This prevents memcached from automatically appending the hostname to
the username, which was a source of problems on servers where the
hostname was changed.

We would prefer to use the postgres packages from Postgres themselves,
if available. However, this requires ensures that, for existing
installs, we preserve the same version of postgres as their base
distribution installed.
Move the version-determination logic from being computed at puppet
interpolation time, to being computed at install time and pinned into
zulip.conf.
Since 9e8f1aacb3, zulip_ops machines
might have two Package declarations for `certbot`, which doesn't work
in puppet.
The fix is, as usual, to use our `zulip::safepackage` wrapper instead.
The style guide for Zulip is to always use "primary" and "replica"
when describing database replication. Adjust a few comments under

Unfortunately, some references still remain to the insensitive and

Instead of SSH'ing around to them, run directly on the database hosts.
This means that the replicas do not know how many bytes behind they
are in _receiving_ the wall logs; thus, the monitoring also extends to
the primary database, which knows that information for each replica.
This also allows for detecting when there are too few active replicas.
Use read-only types (List ↦ Sequence, Dict ↦ Mapping, Set ↦
AbstractSet) to guard against accidental mutation of the default
value.

All differences between the primary and replica roles having been
merged, fold the `postgres_common`, `postgres_master`, and
`postgres_slave` roles into just `postgres_appdb`.
These values differed between the primary and secondary database
hosts, for unclear reasons. The differences date back to their
introduction in 387f63deaa. As the comment in the replica
confguration notes, settings of `vm.dirty_ratio = 10` and
`vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5` matched the kernel defaults for
"newer" kernels; however, kernel 2.6.30 bumped those to 20 and 10,
respectively[1], as a fix for underlying logic now being more correct.
Remove these overrides; they should at very least be consistent across
roles, and the previous values look to be an attempt to tune for a
very much older version of the Linux kernel, which was using an
different, buggier, algorithm under the hood.

This file controls streaming replication, and recovery using wal-g on
the secondary. The `primary_conninfo` data needs to change on short
notice when database failover happens, in a way that is not suitable
for being controlled by puppet.
PostgreSQL 12, in fact, removes the use of the `recovery.conf` file[1];
the `primary_conninfo` and `restore_command` information goes into the
main `postgresql.conf` file, and the standby status is controlled by
the presence of absence of an empty `standby.signal` file.
Remove the puppet control of the `recovery.conf` file.

Since the nagios authentication is stored _in the database_, it is
unnecessary to run if the database is simply a replica of the
production database. The only case in which this statement would have
an effect is if the postgres node contains a _different_ (or empty)
database, which `setup_disks` now effectively prevents.
Remove the unnecessary step.
481613a344 updated the `setup_disks` script to no longer reference
`mdadm`, since we no longer set up RAID on servers.
Update the puppet that would call it to remove the `mdadm` dependency,
and run only if the state is not what it produces -- namely, a symlink
for `/var/lib/postgresql`, which must point to an existent
`/srv/postgresql` directory.
The end state it produces is _either_:
- `/srv/postgresql` already existed, which was symlinked into
`/var/lib/postgresql`; postgres is left untouched. This is the
situation if `setup_disks` is run on the database primary, or a
replica which was correctly configured.
- An empty `/srv/postgresql` now exists, symlinked into
`/var/lib/postgresql`, and postgres is stopped. This is the
situation if `puppet` was just run on a new host, or a
previously-configured host was rebooted (clearing the temporary
disk in `/dev/nvme0`)
In the latter case, where `/srv/postgresql` is now empty, any previous
contents of `/var/lib/postgresql` are placed under `/root`,
timestamped for uniqueness.
In either case, the tool should now be idempotent.
This fixes errors when provisioning a new system (or version of
postgres) when the configuration file cannot be written because its
parent directories do not exist.
Files inherently depend on their containing directories, so no
explicit dependencies are necessary.
The `pg_datadir` variable was only used, and accurate, for CentOS.
Pull it out into `postgres_app_base`, broaden it to being accurate on
Debian-based systems as well, and use it consistently in the
templates.
As the previous commit, this is currently only used in tuning, but is
a property of the whole postgres configuration; move it there, as just
the directory, not the file.
Use this directory consistently in the erb templates. Since we
produce a `pg_hba.conf`, it makes sense that we point to the path that we
know that we explicitly wrote to, for instance.
While it is only currently used in the tuning configuration, it is a
property of the base configuration, and fits more clearly into the
case block there.
Fixes#2665.

Note from tabbott: In a few cases, this converts technical debt in the

This is vestigial.
It requires manually altering the `htdigest` file (not stored in this
repo) to change the digest realm from `wiki` to `monitoring`, and will
re-prompt users for their passwords if the browsers currently store
them.
Drop the change to move `/tmp` onto the local disk. Doing this move
confuses `resolved` until there is a restart, and has no clear
benefits. The change came in during bf82fadc95, but does not describe
the reasoning; it is particularly puzzling, since postgresql stores
its temporary files under `$PGDATA/base/pgsql_tmp`.
Do not RAID the disks together. This was previously done when they
were spinning media, for reliability; running them on an SSD obviates
this sufficiently. This means that updating the initramfs is also not
necessary.
This no longer has any rules specific to it. We leave the `postgres`
munin group (which now only contains `postgres_appdb`) as
future-proofing, and so that `postgres_appdb` matches to the puppet
manifest of the same name.
This allows straight-forward configuration of realm-based Tornado
sharding through simply editing /etc/zulip/zulip.conf to configure
shards and running scripts/refresh-sharding-and-restart.

Using the `host` virtual package confused Puppet into reporting it was
doing work every time one did a puppet run, resulting in unnecessarily
spammy output.
While this functionality to post slow queries to a Zulip stream was
very useful in the early days of Zulip, when there were only a few
hundred accounts, it's long since been useless since (1) the total
request volume on larger Zulip servers run by Zulip developers, and
(2) other server operators don't want real-time notifications of slow
backend queries. The right structure for this is just a log file.
We get rid of the queue and replace it with a "zulip.slow_queries"
logger, which will still log to /var/log/zulip/slow_queries.log for
ease of access to this information and propagate to the other logging
handlers. Reducing the amount of queues is good for lowering zulip's
memory footprint and restart performance, since we run at least one
dedicated queue worker process for each one in most configurations.
Our priority hierarchy is:
(1) Tornado and base services like memcached, redis, etc.
(2) Django and message sender queue workers.
(3) Everything else.
Ideally, we'd have something a bit more fine-grained (e.g. some queue
workers are potentially in the sending path, while others aren't), but
this should have a big impact on ensuring Tornado gets the resources
it needs during load spikes.
I think this has a good chance of causing some load spikes that would
previously have resulted in a user-facing delivery delays no longer
having any significant user-facing impact.

"Zulip Voyager" was a name invented during the Hack Week to open
source Zulip for what a single-system Zulip server might be called, as
a Star Trek pun on the code it was based on, "Zulip Enterprise".
At the time, we just needed a name quickly, but it was never a good
name, just a placeholder. This removes that placeholder name from
much of the codebase. A bit more work will be required to transition
the `zulip::voyager` Puppet class, as that has some migration work
involved.
This legacy cross-realm bot hasn't been used in several years, as far
as I know. If we wanted to re-introduce it, I'd want to implement it
as an embedded bot using those common APIs, rather than the totally
custom hacky code used for it that involves unnecessary queue workers
and similar details.
Fixes#13533.
Zulip has had a small use of WebSockets (specifically, for the code
path of sending messages, via the webapp only) since ~2013. We
originally added this use of WebSockets in the hope that the latency
benefits of doing so would allow us to avoid implementing a markdown
local echo; they were not. Further, HTTP/2 may have eliminated the
latency difference we hoped to exploit by using WebSockets in any
case.
While we’d originally imagined using WebSockets for other endpoints,
there was never a good justification for moving more components to the
WebSockets system.
This WebSockets code path had a lot of downsides/complexity,
including:
* The messy hack involving constructing an emulated request object to
hook into doing Django requests.
* The `message_senders` queue processor system, which increases RAM
needs and must be provisioned independently from the rest of the
server).
* A duplicate check_send_receive_time Nagios test specific to
WebSockets.
* The requirement for users to have their firewalls/NATs allow
WebSocket connections, and a setting to disable them for networks
where WebSockets don’t work.
* Dependencies on the SockJS family of libraries, which has at times
been poorly maintained, and periodically throws random JavaScript
exceptions in our production environments without a deep enough
traceback to effectively investigate.
* A total of about 1600 lines of our code related to the feature.
* Increased load on the Tornado system, especially around a Zulip
server restart, and especially for large installations like
zulipchat.com, resulting in extra delay before messages can be sent
again.
As detailed in
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/12862#issuecomment-536152397, it
appears that removing WebSockets moderately increases the time it
takes for the `send_message` API query to return from the server, but
does not significantly change the time between when a message is sent
and when it is received by clients. We don’t understand the reason
for that change (suggesting the possibility of a measurement error),
and even if it is a real change, we consider that potential small
latency regression to be acceptable.
If we later want WebSockets, we’ll likely want to just use Django
Channels.

This has been a spurious alert for a long time.
It's unclear that this check is useful at all, but if it spikes
dramatically above what's normal, there's perhaps still utility in
being alerted.
Since LoopQueueProcessingWorker jobs cannot be monitored by checking
for connected consumers (since they poll, rather than consuming as
events arrive), they can't be monitored with check_consumers. It's
OK, because that monitoring was redundant with monitoring for
potential growth in their queue that we have as well.
Also clean up the block comments for the two other similar queue
procesors.
Now that we're implemented tsearch_extras in pure postgres, we no
