zulip-secrets.conf, and your cleitn ID here

Hello!
I didn't find any scripts for the full stop of the server. There is only script for the restarting.

So, I get clone of this repo (revision 0d12dfd) and started VM by vargant up.
But not all processes inside VM are finished correctly and here the last lines of long log.

The SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant
assumes that this means the command failed. The output for this command
should be in the log above. Please read the output to determine what
went wrong.

And the several similar errors in the middle.

I followed installation from guide on the main site of the project. After installing server I couldn't create account, because I hadn't got confirmation emails. I use smtp.gmail.com. In the logs the servers response was:

[530-5.5.1 Authentication Required. Learn more at 530 5.5.1 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=14257 ffa3y7ap9sgytsh1] 

After small research I did one small dirty hack: I placed my login and password from smtp in the confimations/models.py:

Before https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/master/confirmation/models.py#L95:

        send_mail(subject, body, settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL, [email_address])

After:

        send_mail(subject, body, settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL, [email_address],
                auth_user='user_name', auth_password='password')

After my fix sending via smtp.gmail.com works fine.

Offtopic. I had to turn option Allow less secure apps in my google-account to be able to send emails. Maybe this information will be useful to someone:

• In https://myaccount.google.com
• select Sign-in & security
• find "Allow less secure apps: OFF"
• turn it on

This is what we run in production so it should be fairly easy. Challenges are similar to those in #41.

./tools/test-all will run all the tests and takes just a few minutes to run; the tricky part will be getting all the Zulip dependencies running in the Travis CI environment. http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/installing-dependencies/ suggests they only support Ubuntu 12.04; so it'll take a bit of work to get the packages available there. If someone's interested in working on this I can provide some info and hackishly built packages for precise we could use for this.

For @ mentions a number is shown on stream, but it gives no indication that there are other unread messages on a stream. Is there a way to get that?

Since we do SSL termination at a generic proxy level, not requiring SSL to setup Zulip itself would be nice.

There are some issues with how you are using Puppet.

The /etc/puppet/puppet.conf you are dropping on the system contains:

[main]
server = puppet.zulip.com

As Ubuntu automatically starts the puppet agent after the package is installed (via your install script) all servers will try to connect to puppet.zulip.com.
Thankfully that server does not exist but it is a serious security risk.
If someone were to setup a server at that address he could control all servers which installed via that install script.

Also, it is nowhere mentioned that you shouldn't run the installer on a system which is already running Puppet.
The installer will overwrite your /etc/puppet/puppet.conf and break your setup.

In my opinion you shouldn't replace the puppet.conf at all.
As far as I can tell you are using puppet apply ... and you should be able to specify all options directly there.

Zulip looks awesome, and it's great that it's joining the leagues of FOSS software, but it kind of sucks that there's no super-slick GitLab integration. Lots of projects and companies use GitLab, and GitLab continues to be full of win. So now, it'd be awesome if Zulip worked well with it.

Shouldn't be too hard, and will make zulip.wmflabs.org nice to use :D

This should be relatively doable since we used to support it as recently as a couple weeks ago.

The main challenges here if we want to use the scripts/setup/install process are:
(1) Need to put the backported dependency packages (e.g. Django 1.8) into a PPA or otherwise make them available
(2) There are a couple differences in what configuration works between the two, e.g. the redis.conf options are not compatible, so we'll need to make
(3) Some testing and new conditionals around the debian/ubuntu version (at the very least we need to not hardcode trusty in the sources.list.d config).

+ /root/zulip/scripts/zulip-puppet-apply -f

Here's a Dockerfile to reproduce:

FROM ubuntu:trusty

RUN tar -xvf zulip-server-$ZULIP_VERSION.tar.gz
RUN rm zulip-server-$ZULIP_VERSION.tar.gz
RUN mv zulip-server-$ZULIP_VERSION /root/zulip

WORKDIR /root/zulip
RUN ./scripts/setup/install

I'm having trouble figuring out how to register a user. It seems to want me to be from a specific organization, but it's never explained in the setup what that is.

How do I enable registration for me (gmail email), and others (not-gmail emails)?

When running ./scripts/setup/install:

+ dpkg -i ./python-django-guardian_1.3-1~zulip4_all.deb

this was on a totally vanilla ubuntu trusty; all that had happened was install wget, wget the zulip tarball, and execute the install script.

I was running owncloud using nginx on the same server I installed zulip and it broke the own could installation. For example, nginx main configuration is overridden to use "zulip" user rather than the default "www-data" user.

Please make sure that installation doesn't override any other configuration files. Unless these issues are addressed, it'd be wise to put a warning on the README file and the installation guide indicating the list of files that's going to change.

Ideally, there should be an uninstallation script as well.

Can you add a description and a link to the website? I used google to find out. But I would have profited from the descripion and the link.

This installs all dependencies, but services (e.g rabbitmq) don't appear to start, so later parts of provision.py (i.e sh.configure_rabbitmq(**LOUD)) fail. Also emoji generation seems to be failing too, due to a missing dependency. I'm burned out from working on this, if anyone else can offer a suggestion it would be appreciated.

I want to create a container for this (Docker) to run it on the CoreOS, but this is a huge container, and I think, its a good idea to break it to multile linked container.

I just wondered around in the application. And it started to say that couldn't connect to the server. At the time cpu usage jump up to 100%. The reloading of the page give only 500 error page. Error log ful of meesages of this kind:

We need a good way to notify users running upgrade-zulip of any backwards-compatible updates (e.g. to configuration).

The command vargant up is failed (as I wrote here), so I'm trying to start services manually.

So apt-get | dpkg section completted successfully.

And the problems are raises with next commands.

The current server installation instructions are more finicky than they need to be in a few ways:

(1) We tell you to generate an SSL certificate but don't provide a good explanation for how

(2) We don't provide copyable code that does the unpacking properly and it's a bit finicky (e.g. having to rename a directory).

(3) We don't use "sha1sum -c" for checking the hash so you kinda need to do it yourself which is annoying.

It'd be great if someone could fix these in README.prod.md and then I can port over to the zulip.org website...

Since it seems there's a good amount of interest in running Zulip in smaller environments, it's worth doing a bit of optimization on the Zulip memory footprint. I think this will also be pretty valuable for running the Zulip development environment on a laptop.

I think probably the simplest version of this implementation would be a way to run all the queue workers in a single process that just watches all the queues; that should be great for development and smaller servers, and easy to make work (no need to even make it multithreaded).

Part 2 would be to make that multithreaded.

Per #25 and #26, CLRF line endings will confuse the VM.

Thanks @wwarlock and @andersk for reporting + root-causing!

While currently Zulip servers require a decent amount of memory, this is in no way fundamental, just something we haven't optimized for in the past. Now that Zulip is open source, it's worth fixing that.

The main issue is probably: #32

On fresh Ubuntu 15.04 after apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade tried to install Zulip. Got following errors during installation.

Here are errors message

This occurs with the following Dockerfile:

Settings file states to use one thing while code looks for another.

Some folks have written into the mailing list suggesting we get Zulip working on CentOS. This issue tracks work towards making that happen.

When I try to send a message to other user he don't recieve it. In the error-log I've got:

I installed server on the virtual machine (Ubuntu 14.04) I followed instructions from here https://zulip.org/server.html. Also I created self-signed ssl-certificate for ip-address of my vm.

It'd be great if someone could test a newer version of virtualbox for the Mac development instructions, and see if it works well. Empirically, it appears that virtualbox 4.3 on Mac feels a lot slower than what I'm used it (e.g. it takes 6.6s to run tools/lint-all, in comparison to 2.2s for my 2012 era Linux laptop and even faster for a newer laptop running under LXC).

pingdom.com is a real-time cloud monitoring tool with a fully documented API: https://www.pingdom.com/resources/api

Integrating pingdom would help a lot of SaaS developers monitor the uptime of their service.

I'd like to see a documented process to make this happen, but don't really have time to look into it myself. It'd be even more rad if you could include a 'Deploy to Heroku' button right in the README.

Right now the first thing you see when launching Zulip in Firefox is two modal popups stacked on top of each other, one from Firefox asking for permission to show you notifications, and one from Zulip teaching you how to use it. And sometimes if you dismiss the notification popup and start clicking through the tutorial, the notification popup comes back to interrupt your interruption yet again. We should make sure we only show one of these things at a time.

Relatedly, the tutorial ought to be skippable.

Using up/down works everywhere, and enter can be used to reply to a message when a stream is selected but not in "Home", while click does work.

After clicking once, enter works too.

(From reading the HN thread)

Or the other way around, but I really like Redis :)

I'm seeing a lot of tracebacks like these on zulip.com:

Even if these are user error, they shouldn't be throwing exceptions. Any ideas what's going on?

Looks like Zulip's currently installing a random (non-release) commit of a personal fork of Django:

git+https://github.com/rwbarton/django.git@59f1fc4c7b65d23fceffd5c87e2b6ea350030c56

Does anyone know if there are obstacles to using a release version? Looks like this is from the 1.7alpha period, not sure whether pre- or post-migrations landing. If it's after migrations, maybe 1.7.x would just work?

When i try to register a user acount i get an internal error "500: Internal server error."

i configured the email server in the settings.py and the user password for the smtp connection in the zulip-secrets.conf (email_host_password = #password#)
email clients are working with hat config...

please give me some advice to get it work, thanks

settings.py:

# Enable at least one of the following authentication backends.
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
                           'zproject.backends.EmailAuthBackend', # Email and password
#                           'zproject.backends.ZulipRemoteUserBackend', # Local SSO
#                           'zproject.backends.GoogleMobileOauth2Backend', # Google Apps, setup below
    )
# Configure the outgoing SMTP server below. For outgoing email
# via a GMail SMTP server, EMAIL_USE_TLS must be True and the
# outgoing port must be 587. The EMAIL_HOST is prepopulated
# for GMail servers, change it for other hosts, or leave it unset
# or empty to skip sending email.
#
# A common problem you may encounter when trying to get this working
# is many hosting providers block outgoing SMTP traffic.
EMAIL_HOST = 'bsmtp.server.at'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'
# If you're using password auth, you will need to put the password in
# /etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf as email_host_password.
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

Running into issues with Supervisor, this little work-around seems to fix it

sudo touch /var/run/supervisor.sock
sudo chmod 777 /var/run/supervisor.sock
sudo service supervisor restart

Gocd is an continous delivery system. It is similiar to systems like jenkins and teamcity.

It'll be good to have gocd integration.

Zulip actually has a pagerduty integration with a bunch of tests, but it's not documented in templates/zerver/integrations.

I've followed the setup instructions to the point and tired 3 different email-addresses.
These errors occur on the Ubuntu 14.04.

These are the errors I've been able to find in the log file:
