v0.50 (September 25, 2020)
--------------------------
Setup:
* When upgrading from versions before v0.40, setup will now warn that ownCloud/Nextcloud data cannot be migrated rather than failing the installation.
Mail:
* An MTA-STS policy for incoming mail is now published (in DNS and over HTTPS) when the primary hostname and email address domain both have a signed TLS certificate installed, allowing senders to know that an encrypted connection should be enforced.
* The per-IP connection limit to the IMAP server has been doubled to allow more devices to connect at once, especially with multiple users behind a NAT.
DNS:
* autoconfig and autodiscover subdomains and CalDAV/CardDAV SRV records are no longer generated for domains that don't have user accounts since they are unnecessary.
* IPv6 addresses can now be specified for secondary DNS nameservers in the control panel.
TLS:
* TLS certificates are now provisioned in groups by parent domain to limit easy domain enumeration and make provisioning more resilient to errors for particular domains.
Control Panel:
* The control panel API is now fully documented at https://mailinabox.email/api-docs.html.
* User passwords can now have spaces.
* Status checks for automatic subdomains have been moved into the section for the parent domain.
* Typo fixed.
Web:
* The default web page served on fresh installations now adds the `noindex` meta tag.
* The HSTS header is revised to also be sent on non-success responses.
These subdomains/records are for automatic configuration of mail clients, but if there are no user accounts on a domain, there is no need to publish a DNS record, provision a TLS certificate, or create an nginx server config block.
- The MIAB version check regularly fails at 03:00, presumably because a
large portion of installations is checking mailinabox.email at the same
time.
- At installation time, the time of the nightly clock is configured to
run at a random minute after 03:00, but before 04:00.
- Users might expect the nightly tasks to be over at a certain time and
run their own custom tasks afterwards. This could thus interfere with
custom backup routines.
- This breaks reproducibility of the installation process.
- Users might also be surprised by the nightly task time changing after
updating MIAB.
* Update to Nextcloud 15.0.7, Contacts to 3.1.1, and Calendar to 1.6.5
* Enabled localhost-only insecure IMAP login for localhost Nextcloud auth
* Add package php-imagick and BigInt conversion
* added support for /cloud/oc[sm]-provider/ endpoint
* Upgraded Nextcloud from 13.0.6 to 14.0.6.
* Upgraded Contacts from 2.1.5 to 2.1.8.
* Upgraded Calendar from 1.6.1 to 1.6.4.
* Cleanup unsupported version upgrades: Since an upgrade to v0.30 is mandatory before moving upward, I removed the checks for Nextcloud prior version 12.
* Fix the storage root path.
* Add missing indices. Thx @yodax for your feedback.
@joshdata squashed pull request #1398, removed some comments, and added these notes:
* The old init.d script for the management daemon is replaced with a systemd service.
* A systemd service configuration is added to configure permissions for munin on startup.
* nginx SSL settings are updated because nginx's options and defaults have changed, and we now enable http2.
* Automatic SSHFP record generation is updated to know that 22 is the default SSH daemon port, since it is no longer explicit in sshd_config.
* The dovecot-lucene package is dropped because the Mail-in-a-Box PPA where we built the package has not been updated for Ubuntu 18.04.
* The stock postgrey package is installed instead of the one from our PPA (which we no longer support), which loses the automatic whitelisting of DNSWL.org-whitelisted senders.
* Drop memcached and the status check for memcached, which we used to use with ownCloud long ago but are no longer installing.
* Other minor changes.
fixes#1409
This reverts commit 82844ca651 ("make certbot auto-agree to TOS if NONINTERACTIVE=1 env var is set (#1399)") and instead *always* auto-agree. If we don't auto-agree, certbot asks the user interactively, but our "curl | bash" setup line does not permit interactive prompts, so certbot failed to register and all certificate things were broken until the command was re-run interactively.
Starting with 2.4, Z-Push no longer provides tarballs on their download server. The only options are getting the code from their git repository or using one of their distribution packages. Their Ubuntu 18.04 packaes don't seem to actually work in Ubuntu 18.04, so thinking ahead that's currently a bad choice. In 78d1c9be6e we switched from doing a git clone to using wget on their downloads server because of a problem with something related to stash.z-hub.io's SSL certificate. But wget also seems to work on their source code repository, so we can use that.
In 0088fb4553 I changed the management daemon's startup
script from a symlink to a Python script to a bash script that activated the new virtualenv
and then launched Python. As a result, the init.d script that starts the daemon would
write the pid of bash to the pidfile, and when trying to kill it, it would kill bash but
not the Python process.
Using exec to start Python fixes this problem by making the Python process have the pid
that the init.d script knows about.
fixes#1339
The cryptography package has created all sorts of installation trouble over the last few years, probably because of mismatches between OS-installed packages and pip-installed packages. Using a virtualenv for all Python packages used by the management daemon should make sure everything is consistent.
See #1298, see #1264.
The PHP5 packages have a dependency on (apache2 or php5-cgi or php5-fpm), and since removing php5-fpm apache2 started getting installed during setup, which caused a conflict with nginx of course.
These packages don't seem to be needed by Roundcube or Nextcloud --- Roundcube includes the ones it needs.
see #1264, #1298
* The Mozilla recommendations must have been updated in the last few years.
* The HSTS header must have >=6 months to get an A+ at ssllabs.com/ssltest.
Nextcloud 12 adds a new OC_VersionCanBeUpgradedFrom field to /usr/local/lib/owncloud/version.php which lists
prior NC/OC version numbers, which confuses our check for what the installed version is. Make our regex more strict.
merges #1238
* Install PHP7 via a PPA, enable unattended upgrades for the PPA, and switch all of our PHP configuration to the PHP7 install.
* Keep installing PHP5 for ownCloud/Nextcloud packages because we need it to possibly run transitional updates to ownCloud/Nextcloud versions less than 12. But replace PHP5 packages with PHP7 packages elsewhere.
* Update to Nextcloud 12 which requires PHP7, with a transitional upgrade to Nextcloud 11.0.3.
* Disable TLS cert validation by Roundcube when connecting to localhost IMAP and SMTP. Validation became the default in PHP7 but we don't necessarily have a (non-self-)signed certificate and it definitely isn't valid for the IP address 127.0.0.1.
