# docs
A repository for SRCF documentation.
# SRCF Documentation

## Building
This is the Git repository for the SRCF's documentation, available at [docs.srcf.net](https://docs.srcf.net). It is built with Hugo, a static site generator written in Go. You can read, contribute and build these docs yourself, just keep reading!

Windows: `./make.bat html`
The previous iteration of our documentation was built with Sphinx, but after facing several shortcomings we decided to move to a static site generator.

Linux/macOS: `make html`
## Contributing

## Setting the output path
All contributions to our documentation are very welcome. We have more detailed information for beginners and advanced users alike on our [internal documentation](https://docs.srcf.net/internal/documentation/building/).

1. Create a file `Makefile.local` in the root of this repository. This is an
optional snippet of Makefile that is automatically sourced in the main
Makefile.
### TODO

2. Set variables, e.g.:
* add search
* vendor static assets centrally

BUILDDIR = /public/home/spqr2/srcf-docs
## Credits

This documentation is largely inspired by [Bootstrap](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/).

## Overview

{{< alert type="info" >}}
Version 6 releases are no longer supported by Drupal, and are liable to
have compatibility issues with PHP 7.
{{< /alert >}}

The notes below assume your Drupal site is at `drupal.soc.srcf.net` \--
substitute this for your own site's URL.

Drupal provide [their own extensive guide for
upgrades](https://www.drupal.org/updating-and-upgrading-drupal-core),
which covers the below information in more detail.

## Upgrading files in-place

This method is suitable for minor version upgrades (e.g. from an old 7.x
to the latest 7.x release). See also: [Update procedure (minor version
change)](https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/upgrade/upgrading-from-drupal-6-or-7-to-drupal-8)

**Take backups of your files and database before attempting an
upgrade.** Then put the site into maintenance mode.

Download the latest release from <https://www.drupal.org/download>. The
ZIP file contains a folder called `drupal-<version>`, which contains the
core files.

If you\'re working over SSH, copy the URL of the ZIP download, use
`wget` to download it, then `unzip` to unpack it in the current
directory.

For SCP, you\'ll want to extract the files on your local machine, then
upload them to the server.

In either case, the contents of the `drupal` folder are to be moved into
your existing site (for `drupal.soc.srcf.net`, this would be
`/societies/drupal/public_html`). You should delete all files under the
site directory, \'\'\'except\'\'\' the `sites` folder which holds all
customisations. If you\'ve made any changes to `.htaccess` or
`robots.txt`, you\'ll also need to merge these into the updated files.

Once the new files are in place, head over to
`http://drupal.soc.srcf.net/update.php` to prepare the database for the
new version. When complete, take the site out of maintenance mode.

Migrating a site between instances
----------------------------------

This is needed for major release upgrades (e.g. from 7.x to 8.x).

Similar to the above, download the latest version, but extract/upload it
to a different location than the current site. Configure this as a new
installation. It still needs to be under your account\'s `public_html`
root, so you may need to use a subdirectory. This page assumes you have
`http://drupal.soc.srcf.net/new/`.

Go to the \'\'Modules\'\' section on the new site, and enable the
\'\'Migrate\'\', \'\'Migrate Drupal\'\', and \'\'Migrate Drupal UI\'\'
modules.

Now head over to `http://drupal.soc.srcf.net/new/upgrade`, which will
prompt for database credentials \-- here, you can specify those of the
old site, which will import all its content into the new installation.

Once you\'re happy the new site is working, you can move the old one out
of the way and make the new site take its place. You\'ll need to update
the `$base_url` in `settings.php` with the new path.

{{< alert type="warning" >}}
These notes relate to the migration from Ubuntu 16.04 to 20.04,
scheduled for 3rd/4th April 2021.{{< /alert >}}

## Server changes

The following shell-accessible servers, currently on Ubuntu 16.04
\'Xenial Xerus\', will be upgraded to 20.04 \'Focal Fossa\':

- `pip` (aka. *shell.srcf.net*), the main shell server
- `sinkhole` (aka. *webserver.srcf.net*), the web server

As we already have `doom`, a 20.04 server for games and long-running
processes, we\'ll be decommissioning the old games server `cavein`
shortly after the upgrade. Please migrate your servers and scheduled
tasks ahead of the upgrade.

We\'ll also be upgrading other servers hosting various SRCF services,
which will experience some downtime:

- `blizzard`, the DNS server (though access to other services on the
*srcf.net* domain will be unaffected by this)
- `flame`, the news server
- `squirrel`, the MySQL server

## Software updates

If you'd like to check what version of a particular package will be
installed after the upgrade, you can search for it on the [Ubuntu
package directory](https://packages.ubuntu.com). If a package is listed
for `xenial`, but not for `focal`, then it is liable to be removed
following the upgrade \-- [contact the
sysadmins](https://www.srcf.net/contact) if there\'s a package you need
that\'s slated for removal, and we can see what can be done.

{{< /table >}}

If you\'ve built or compiled your own software linked to libraries on
the system, you\'ll likely need to recompile them following the upgrade.

### Python 2

The majority of Python 2 packages have been dropped by Ubuntu, leaving
only a handful of libraries acting as dependencies for packaged software
that doesn\'t run on Python 3. If you\'re running your own software with
py2, you should seek to make it compatible with py3 \-- official support
for py2 ended in January 2020, with setuptools, pip and other core
components becoming py3-only.

Failing that, the core interpreter is still available, along with the
ability to create py2 virtual environments if you\'re currently relying
on any system-installed py2 packages that will no longer be available.
Beware of upgrading the build tools in such environments \-- the last
version of pip to support py2 is 20.3, and for setuptools the last
compatible release was 44.0.0.

### Python 3

Python 3 itself will receive a minor version bump from 3.5 to 3.8 \--
the [What\'s New](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/) section of the
Python documentation lists all the changes between versions.

The change in version also changes the library path, which means any
packages user-installed to `~/.local/lib/python3.5` (with
`pip install --user` or otherwise) will no longer be accessible and will
need reinstalling following the upgrade. In addition, any virtual Python
environments using the system copy of py3 will stop working, and will
need recreating. Custom installations of Python (e.g. those installed
with tools like [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv)) may also need
reinstalling following system library updates.

### PHP

PHP will be updated from 7.0 to 7.4. A list of new features and
backwards-incompatible changes can be found in [their
documentation](https://www.php.net/manual/en/appendices.php).

Notably, this introduces a number of new syntax features, such as arrow
function shorthand and the null-safe `?.` operator. The majority of
backwards-incompatible changes seem to cover previously unspecified or
erroneous behaviour, though consult the *Backward Incompatible Changes*
sections for all the details.

### Node.js

Node is being brought into the (relatively) modern times, to be updated
from major version 4 to 10. The canonical binary name will change from
`nodejs` to `node`, though the former will remain as a symlink.

Unsurprisingly there will have been a number of additions and changes
\-- Node\'s
[changelogs](https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/v10.19.0/doc/changelogs)
cover all the details but are quite verbose; there\'s also [this list of
breaking changes](https://github.com/WaleedAshraf/nodejs-major-changes)
if you just want to check your code for compatibility.
