Instead of taking the "onion" approach, where all services are stopped, and then started back up again, default to a rolling restart across all processes. This draws out how long the overall "restart" takes, but minimizes the time that any of the services are down. This minimizes user-visible impact and queue buildup. In cases where speed is more important than minimal impact (for example, there is already a current outage), a --less-graceful flag is provided, which brings the services down more suddenly, and back up in a still-correct order.
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/).
