In addition to many small edits for formatting and clarity, a few more
significant changes:
* In the main instructions, refer specifically to restarting the
server and to testing that the config works.
* Add SendGrid to the recommended list, as it seems like people
give it a somewhat stronger reputation these days than Mailgun.
* Discuss EMAIL_USE_TLS and EMAIL_PORT along with host, user, and
password in the "free services" section. Though those bullets feel
kind of duplicative to me already.
Let's get right to the point of how to configure SMTP once you know
what you want. That section is pretty short anyway; and we can have
a first step direct the reader to our suggestions if they don't know
what service they want to use.
Also adjust the hierarchy of the headings: group the various
alternative email services under one heading, and group
troubleshooting together under an independent heading.
Also correct what we say about EMAIL_PORT: the Django default is
apparently 25, so if the provider *does* use the usual port 587
then we'll need the port to be set.
In our new system for updating realm settings, we don't need to create
separate functions to update the input elements for each feature.
Most of the work is done automatically by
`settings_org.sync_realm_settings`.
Usually, to debug a small change, you have to remove some tests from JSON
because of lack of support for comments in JSON. This commit allows to
ignore some tests by setting `"ignore" : true` in the bugdown fixtures.
Also, since this is only for while developing, the complete test suite will
throw an error if we leave an 'ignored' test in a commit.
This will allow realm admins to remove others from private stream to
which the realm administrator is not subscribed; this is important for
managing those streams, because previously nobody could remove users
from private streams that didn't have any realm administrators
subscribed.
This will allow realm admins to access subscribers of unsubscribed
private stream. This is a preparatory commit for letting realm admins
remove those users.
This will allow realm admins to update the names and descriptions of
private streams even if they are not subscribed, which fixes the buggy
behavior that previously nobody could(!).
The main point of this change is to streamline the core
code for input pills, and we use also modify user groups.
The main change to input_pill.js is that you now
configure a function called `create_item_from_text`, and
that can return an arbitrary object, and it just needs
a field called `display_value`.
Other changes:
* You now call `input.create(opts)` to create the
widget.
* There is no longer a cache, because we can
write smarter code in typeahead `source` functions
that exclude ids up front.
* There is no value/optinalKey complexity, because
the calling code can supply arbitrary objects and
do their own external data management on the pill
items.
* We eliminate `prependPill`.
* We eliminate `data`, `keys`, and `values`, and just
have `items`.
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.
Now down to just 4 steps!
This version tries to prioritize: just two items that we really want
all admins to look at even if they aren't already mentally committed
to running a big production service and reading all the docs.
Namely, the two required in order to really try out Zulip effectively
with one's colleagues.
The screenshots weren't doing much good without being embedded in the
text... and in fact, looking at them for I think the first time,
they're badly out of date with the app. So cut them.
We might add screenshots later, but on the other hand if we do a good
job with the forms themselves, they should be superfluous.
This further shortens the wall of text inside the instructions.
Note that thanks to embedded reST, we now have the power to provide
custom anchors at section headings! Which in particular means this
link won't break if we later tweak the wording of this heading.
This helps shorten the wall of text between the start of the
instructions and the end. Conversely, now that there are fewer
followup steps, the troubleshooting section at the end isn't so
far away to point.
This flips the experimental `--express` option to be the default.
We retain the old behavior, where the script exits before
`initialize-database`, as an option `--no-init-db`; it might be useful
in e.g. a migration scenario (from a Zulip install elsewhere, or
another chat system) where the admin wants to set up the database
separately.
The install instructions are adjusted to match, getting shorter by two
steps and a bunch of words. I think this opens up opportunities to
refactor the text to simplify things further, too, but leaving that
for another commit.
Also tweak the "production" test suite to match.
This didn't really make much sense - it presented a quickstart summary
of the instructions as an item in the list of differences from the
Ubuntu case, plus that quickstart only incorporated one of the two
actual differences so it didn't work anyway. Given the networking
stuff, an actual quickstart isn't in the cards, so just cut that.
Also fix some small things while we're here.
From here on we start to authenticate uploaded file request before
serving this files in production. This involves allowing NGINX to
pass on these file requests to Django for authentication and then
serve these files by making use on internal redirect requests having
x-accel-redirect field. The redirection on requests and loading
of x-accel-redirect param is handled by django-sendfile.
NOTE: This commit starts to authenticate these requests for Zulip
servers running platforms either Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) or above.
Fixes: #320 and #291 partially.
