This text is very old and hadn't been edited in a long time, in large
part because it was buried within old docs. This change cleans it up
to give accurate and better-organized information.
* Moves "Management commands" to a top-level section.
* Moves "Scalability" as a subsection at the bottom of "Requirements".
* Moves "Monitoring" as a subsections at the bottom of "Troubleshooting".
* Replaces "API and your Zulip URL" with a link to REST API docs. This
documentation text has been irrelevant for some time.
* Removes maintain-secure-upgrade from the TOC but the file remains to
avoid breaking old links from release blog posts and emails.
- Updated 260+ links from ".html" to ".md" to reduce the number of issues
reported about hyperlinks not working when viewing docs on Github.
- Removed temporary workaround that suppressed all warnings reported
by sphinx build for every link ending in ".html".
Details:
The recent upgrade to recommonmark==0.5.0 supports auto-converting
".md" links to ".html" so that the resulting HTML output is correct.
Notice that links pointing to a heading i.e. "../filename.html#heading",
were not updated because recommonmark does not auto-convert them.
These links do not generate build warnings and do not cause any issues.
However, there are about ~100 such links that might still get misreported
as broken links. This will be a follow-up issue.
Background:
docs: pip upgrade recommonmark and CommonMark #13013
docs: Allow .md links between doc pages #11719Fixes#11087.
- Added warning block to dev docs using _templates/layout.html
- Removed copy-pasted warning from install.md and requirements.md
- Removed unreleased tag in docs/conf.py that's no longer used

Previously, Google might take you to /latest rather than /stable, and
you might get information about the next release, not the current one.
Fixes#13056.
This commit finishes adding end-to-end support for the install script
on Debian Buster (making it production ready). Some support for this
was already added in prior commits such as
99414e2d96.
We plan to revert the postgres hunks of this once we've built
tsearch_extras for our packagecloud archive.
Fixes#9828.
Sphinx/ReadTheDocs supports automatically translating links written as
to `.md` files to point to the corresponding `.html` files, so this
migration does not change the resulting HTML output in ReadTheDocs.
But it does fix apparent broken links on GitHub.
This doesn't prevent people from reading the documentation on GitHub
(so doesn't mitigate the fact that some rtd-specific syntax does not
render properly on GH), but it will prevent us from getting erroneous
issues reported about the hyperlinks not working.
Fixes: #11087.
The summary already has a qualifier that basically says it shouldn't
matter for most people -- making it simultaneously the most
complicated bullet there, and among the least likely to matter.
And in fact, this requirement shouldn't matter for *anyone* when first
experimenting with Zulip. If certbot won't work in a given admin's
environment, and the available ways to get a cert aren't convenient,
they can always let the installer generate a self-signed cert to get
going, and circle back to the issue later.
So, make that option clear in the main requirements text, and then
just cut the whole bullet from the summary.
This further reduces the wall of text on the install instructions.
Simultaneously it lightens up the pressure on this summary to be quite
so terse; expand a couple of items into multiple bullets (yet with
fewer words!) for greater readability.
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.
