Apparently, while upgrade-zulip-from-git always ensures that zulip deployment directories are owned by the Zulip user, unpack-zulip (aka the tarball code path) has them owned by root. The user ID detection logic in su_to_zulip's helper get_zulip_uid was intended to support both development environments (where the user ID might vary) and production environments. For development environments, the existing code is fine, but given this unpack-zulip permissions issue, we need to have code to fallback to 'zulip' if the detection logic detects the "zulip" user has having UID 0.
This directory contains scripts that:
-
Generally do not require access to Django or the database (those are "management commands"), and thus are suitable to run operationally.
-
Are useful for managing a production deployment of Zulip (many are also used in a Zulip development environment, though development-only scripts live in
tools/).
