- Split _install_remote_venv_with_chatmaild() into three routines, to
handle the install, configure, and activate stages.
- This moves the upload of chatmail.ini later in the deployment
process, because it is a configuration file specific to the
instance, not software installation that would be uniform across all
deployments.
- Note that this moves the installation of the opendkim package
earlier in the deployment sequence. Previously, it was installed
during the _configure_opendkim() routine.
- Added a Deployer class that defines the base for objects that will
handle installation of individual components, with install,
configure, and activate stages. Subclasses will override the
implementation methods of those stages as needed, while the base
class handles all the logic of deciding which stages to execute.
- The CMDEPLOY_STAGES environment variable is used to determine what
stages to run. If this is not defined, all stages run as usual.
- Added import of Deployer to cmdeploy/__init__.py. This is not yet
used, but the next series of commits will use it.
- In deploy_chatmail(), define an empty list of deployers, and call
the create_groups() and create_users() methods for the items in the
list. This list will get filled with Deployer objects in the next
series of commits.
- Moved the "Add 9.9.9.9 to resolv.conf" step earlier, before the
creation of users or updates to any config files. This should not
affect any of those operations. Moving this step earlier makes it
easier to accommodate the restructuring of the deployment process
into separate components with separate stages for install,
configure, and activate.
We already require that outgoing connections
use STARTTLS so other servers need a valid TLS
certificate to accept messages from us.
It is then very unlikely that they cannot use TLS
to send messages to us.
Conversely, if they only can send messages to use without TLS,
it likely does not have STARTLS on its port 25
and then we don't want to accept messages from them
because we will likely not be able to reply.
- This is a counterpart to pull request #607. Revised
test_deployed_state() to perform the same error-handling on Git
commands that cmdeploy does. If 'git rev-parse' returns an error,
the value "unknown" is used. If 'git diff' returns an error, the
null string is used.
- This fixes failures in environments where Git is not installed or
where the .git subdirectory is not present (as long as the server
was deployed in the same way).
- test_rewrite_subject() is prone to failure when it checks for the
delivered message, because fetch_all_messages() raises "ValueError:
no messages in imap folder". The check has the potential to happen
before the server has had a chance to deliver the message to the
user's inbox.
- Added a function try_n_times() that attempts to call a function the
specified number of times, with a 1-second sleep between calls. The
call is retried until it doesn't raise an exception. The last call
is made without a 'try' block, so that the final exception passes
through to the caller if it does not return.
- Wrapped call to fetch_all_messages() in try_n_times(), with 5
attempts specified. This should usually allow enough time for the
message to get moved from the postfix queue to the user's inbox.
