Greg Price cbb6692882 prod docs: Say exactly how to test the SSL cert chain.
Users continue to run into this and get confused, certain that there's
no certificate problem.

Greg Price 21045d8cf0 prod docs: Call out more the need for a chained cert bundle.
This is kind of easy to gloss over, especially with the framing
as a "format"; surely if things work at all, the file format
must have been right, right?  It's really a bit more substantive
than that; say so and also add a bit more description.

Greg Price da626c176f docs: ssl-certificates: 2017 is no longer the present.
Tweak this wording so it stays true and time-appropriate indefinitely.

Greg Price 6aa7a1b8d2 install docs: Document streamlined self-signed-cert flow.
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.)

Greg Price c27f36a82a install: Rename generate-self-signed-cert.
This script generates one certificate.

Greg Price 2bf5d0074c docs: Update ETA for Let's Encrypt wildcard support.
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.

Greg Price cdd35816fe docs: Link back to install step in SSL doc. 2018-01-23 10:57:50 -08:00
Greg Price bcc1456f55 docs: Tighten sub-headings in SSL certs doc.
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.

Greg Price 93b957eaae docs: Revise explanation of manual SSL cert install.
Change a bit of prose to bullets.  Also lead with the "If you ..."
that helps readers skim past this section.

Tim Abbott 21d8ff14b4 docs: Update documentation to recommend certbot. 2018-01-23 10:57:50 -08:00
Greg Price 0b543bfc0e docs: Rewrite certbot discussion, to enjoy the new automation.
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.

Balaji2198 1f43252903 docs: Update TOC in production to include SSL and email.
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.

David Rosa Tamsen 7072fa5b37 docs: Reorganize developer docs to improve navigation.
This commit helps reduce clutter on the navigation sidebar.
Creates new directories and moves relevant files into them.
Modifies index.rst, symlinks, and image paths accordingly.

This commit also enables expandable/collapsible navigation items,
renames files in docs/development and docs/production,
modifies /tools/test-documentation so that it overrides a theme setting,
Also updates links to other docs, file paths in the codebase that point
to developer documents, and files that should be excluded from lint tests.

Note that this commit does not update direct links to
zulip.readthedocs.io in the codebase; those will be resolved in an
upcoming follow-up commit (it'll be easier to verify all the links
once this is merged and ReadTheDocs is updated).

Fixes #5265.
