Tim Abbott f1c65975ad docs: Clarify preparatory process for data import.
You need a Zulip server running the a matching version, and no longer
need to do an upgrade from master before using established import tools.

Tim Abbott a2371a96b7 docs: Clarify push registration for running manage.py correctly.
We've had several users get errors running this because they ran it as
a bash script; fix this my making the command super explicit.

Rohitt Vashishtha 95ba947f13 setup-cerbot: Allow issuing certificates for multiple domains.
This commit allows specifying Subject Alternative Names to issue certs
for multiple domains using certbot. The first name passed to certbot-auto
becomes the common name for the certificate; common name and the other
names are then added to the SAN field. All of these arguments are now
positional. Also read the following for the certbot syntax reference:

Fixes #10674.

Tim Abbott 3039f11dd4 docs: Document installing Zulip from GitHub.
This has been unofficially supported for a long time, and is handy for
common use cases, so worth documenting.

Tim Abbott 05b29ea47c docs: Remove production overview page.
This page didn't really add any value over the "Installation" page
after the refactorings we've done in recent time.

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.

This is now the default behavior.
2018-09-27 14:14:51 -07:00
Tim Abbott 41b18c7067 docs: Clean up LDAP docs a bit more.
In particular, this improves:
* The explanation of how data is mapped into Zulip
* The explanation of what is printed out by `manage.py query_ldap`
* Makes sure users create their first account with EmailAuthBackend.
2018-09-27 13:38:14 -07:00
Tim Abbott a943e55863 docs: Move LDAP documentation out of plug-and-play section.
Also update the links to this section.

Greg Price a612049ac4 docs: Expand on LDAP config; try to clarify "username" concept.
The term "username" confusingly refers both to the Django concept of
"username" (meaning "the name the user types into the login form") and
a concept the admin presumably already has in their existing
environment; which may or may not be the same thing, and in fact this
is where we document the admin's choice of whether and how they should
correspond.  The Django concept in particular isn't obvious, and is
counterintuitive when it means something like an email address.

Explicitly explain the Django "username" concept, under the name of
"Zulip username" to take responsibility for our choice of how it's
exposed in the settings interface.  Then use an explicit qualifier,
like "LDAP username", whenever referring to some other notion of
username.  And make a pass over this whole side of the instructions,
in particular for consistent handling of these concepts.

Greg Price 6f23d2f691 docs: Make a pass over LDAP config/setup docs.
Expand on a few things that tend to confuse people (especially the
`%(user)s` thing); move the `LDAPSearchUnion` example out to docs;
adjust the instructions to fit a bit better in their new docs/ home.
2018-09-27 13:20:10 -07:00
Greg Price e7737c6342 docs: Move prose LDAP instructions out of settings template.
This makes it easier to iterate on these, and to expand supplemental
information (like troubleshooting, or unusual configurations) without
further straining the already-dauntingly-long settings.py.

It also makes it easier to consult the instructions while editing the
secrets file, or testing things, etc. -- most admins will find it more
natural to keep a browser open somewhere than a second terminal.
2018-09-27 13:20:10 -07:00
Greg Price 9dbb5561b1 docs: Use `sudo -s` to get a root shell without changing directory.
The `-i` is for "initial", creating a login shell -- which means
cd'ing to root's homedir.  That defeats the line after this one.
2018-09-25 13:15:06 -07:00
Rishi Gupta a04d1e3d98 docs: Update intros to production install pages.
We should cut to the chase where we can.
2018-08-21 11:32:16 -07:00
Tim Abbott c6bbb9a8d4 docs: Improve cross-linking between export/import and backups.
Now that we have nice documentation for our export/import tools, we've
been seeing a lot of users trying to use that as their primary backup
process.  Let's correct this.

Tim Abbott 35cb7528f9 models: Add new UserMessage flag active_mobile_push_notification.
This flag is used to track which user/message pairs correspond to an
active mobile push notification, that should potentially be cleared
when the user reads the message.

This flag should never appear on a message that is also marked as
read; eventually we may want a cron job to check for that condition.

We include a partial index on UserMessage for this flag.
2018-08-01 16:51:56 -07:00
Shubham Padia bf6dc4472b models: Add is_private flag to UserMessage and add index for it.
The is_private flag is intended to be set if recipient type is
'private'(1) or 'huddle'(3), otherwise i.e if it is 'stream'(2), it
should be unset.

This commit adds a database index for the is_private flag (which we'll
need to use it). That index is used to reset the flag if it was
already set. The already set flags were due to a previous removal of
is_me_message flag for which the values were not cleared out.

For now, the is_private flag is always 0 since the really hard part of
this migration is clearing the unspecified previous state; future
commits will fully implement it actually doing something.

History: Migration rewritten significantly by tabbott to ensure it
runs in only 3 minutes on chat.zulip.org.  A key detail in making that
work was to ensure that we use the new index for the queries to find
rows to update (which currently requires the `order_by` and `limit`
clauses).

Tim Abbott b53463d6a4 docs: Remove use of multi-line 'su zulip' in docs.
It turns out this confused people into trying to run both pieces in
one line.

Aditya Bansal 9b485f3ef4 auth: Fix bug with subdomains and GitHub auth causing apparent logouts.
This adds a new settings, SOCIAL_AUTH_SUBDOMAIN, which specifies which
domain should be used for GitHub auth and other python-social-auth
backends.

If one is running a single-realm Zulip server like chat.zulip.org, one
doesn't need to use this setting, but for multi-realm servers using
social auth, this fixes an annoying bug where the session cookie that
python-social-auth sets early in the auth process on the root domain
ends up masking the session cookie that would have been used to
determine a user is logged in.  The end result was that logging in
with GitHub on one domain on a multi-realm server like zulipchat.com
would appear to log you out from all the others!

We fix this by moving python-social-auth to a separate subdomain.

Fixes: #9847.

Tim Abbott 427c43723c docs: Document disabling unattended-upgrades.
I don't think this is exactly the right place to document this, but
I'm not sure there's a better one without some restructuring this page
in general (which would probably have value).

Tim Abbott b7af4c2162 docs: Update multiple organization docs to clarify root domain story.

Tim Abbott e63541e616 docs: Extract documentation for file upload backends.
This moves the documentation for this feature out of
prod_settings_template.py, so that we can edit it more easily.

We also add a bucket policy, which is part of what one would want to
use this in production.

This addresses much, but not all, of #9361.

Tim Abbott cfd22c6832 zilencer: Clean up logic around mobile push notifications signup.
This fixes exceptions when sending PMs in development (where we were
trying to connect to the localhost push bouncer, which we weren't
authorized for, but even if we were, it wouldn't work, since there's
no APNS/GCM certs).

At the same time, we also set and order of operations that ensures one
has the opportunity to adjust the server URL before submitting
anything to us.
