We were using duplicity 0.8.21-ppa202111091602~ubuntu1 from the duplicity PPA probably until June 5, which is when my box automatically updated to 0.8.23-ppa202205151528~ubuntu18.04.1. Starting with that version, two changes broke backups:
* The default s3 backend was changed to boto3. But boto3 depends on the AWS SDK which does not support Ubuntu 18.04, so we can't install it. Instead, we map s3: backup target URLs to the boto+s3 scheme which tells duplicity to use legacy boto. This should be reverted when we can switch to boto3.
* Contrary to the documentation, the s3 target no longer accepts a S3 hostname in the URL. It now reads the bucket from the hostname part of the URL. So we now drop the hostname from our target URL before passing it to duplicity and we pass the endpoint URL in a separate command-line argument. (The boto backend was dropped from duplicity's "uses_netloc" in 74d4cf44b1 (f5a07610d36bd242c3e5b98f8348879a468b866a_37_34), but other changes may be related.)
The change of target URL (due to both changes) seems to also cause duplicity to store cached data in a different directory within $STORAGE_ROOT/backup/cache, so on the next backup it will re-download cached manifest/signature files. Since the cache directory will still hold the prior data which is no longer needed, it might be a good idea to clear out the cache directory to save space. A system status checks message is added about that.
Fixes#2123
When building the part of the report about the current DS records founded, they are added in the same order as they were received when calling query_dns(), which can differ from run to run. This was making the difflib.SequenceMatcher() method to find the same line removed and added one line later, and sending an Status Checks Change Notice email with the same line added and removed when there was actually no real changes.
Version 56 (January 19, 2022)
Software updates:
* Roundcube updated to 1.5.2 (from 1.5.0), and the persistent_login and
CardDAV (to 4.3.0 from 3.0.3) plugins are updated.
* Nextcloud updated to 20.0.14 (from 20.0.8), contacts to 4.0.7 (from
3.5.1), and calendar to 3.0.4 (from 2.2.0).
Setup:
* Fixed failed setup if a previous attempt failed while updating
Nextcloud.
Control panel:
* Fixed a crash if a custom DNS entry is not under a zone managed by the
box.
* Fix DNSSEC instructions typo.
Other:
* Set systemd journald log retention to 10 days (from no limit) to
reduce disk usage.
* Fixed log processing for submission lines that have a sasl_sender or
other extra information.
* Fix DNS secondary nameserver refesh failure retry period.
Version 55 (October 18, 2021)
-----------------------------
Mail:
* "SMTPUTF8" is now disabled in Postfix. Because Dovecot still does not
support SMTPUTF8, incoming mail to internationalized addresses was
bouncing. This fixes incoming mail to internationalized domains (which
was probably working prior to v0.40), but it will prevent sending
outbound mail to addresses with internationalized local-parts.
* Upgraded to Roundcube 1.5.
Control panel:
* The control panel menus are now hidden before login, but now
non-admins can log in to access the mail and contacts/calendar
instruction pages.
* The login form now disables browser autocomplete in the two-factor
authentication code field.
* After logging in, the default page is now a fast-loading welcome page
rather than the slow-loading system status checks page.
* The backup retention period option now displays for B2 backup targets.
* The DNSSEC DS record recommendations are cleaned up and now recommend
changing records that use SHA1.
* The Munin monitoring pages no longer require a separate HTTP basic
authentication login and can be used if two-factor authentication is
turned on.
* Control panel logins are now tied to a session backend that allows
true logouts (rather than an encrypted cookie).
* Failed logins no longer directly reveal whether the email address
corresponds to a user account.
* Browser dark mode now inverts the color scheme.
Other:
* Fail2ban's IPv6 support is enabled.
* The mail log tool now doesn't crash if there are email addresess in
log messages with invalid UTF-8 characters.
* Additional nsd.conf files can be placed in /etc/nsd.conf.d.
v0.53 (April 12, 2021)
----------------------
Software updates:
* Upgraded Roundcube to version 1.4.11 addressing a security issue, and
its desktop notifications plugin.
* Upgraded Z-Push (for Exchange/ActiveSync) to version 2.6.2.
Control panel:
* Backblaze B2 is now a supported backup protocol.
* Fixed an issue in the daily mail reports.
* Sort the Custom DNS by zone and qname, and add an option to go back to
the old sort order (creation order).
Mail:
* Enable sending DMARC failure reports to senders that request them.
Setup:
* Fixed error when upgrading from Nextcloud 13.
Port 465 with "implicit" (i.e. always-on) TLS is a more secure approach than port 587 with explicit (i.e. optional and only on with STARTTLS). Although we reject credentials on port 587 without STARTTLS, by that point credentials have already been sent.
* Stop generating RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 keys on new installs since it is no longer recommended, but preserve the key on existing installs so that we continue to sign zones with existing keys to retain the chain of trust with existing DS records.
* Start generating ECDSAP256SHA256 keys during setup, the current best practice (in addition to RSASHA256 which is also ok). See https://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-sec-alg-numbers/dns-sec-alg-numbers.xhtml#dns-sec-alg-numbers-1 and https://www.cloudflare.com/dns/dnssec/ecdsa-and-dnssec/.
* Sign zones using all available keys rather than choosing just one based on the TLD to enable rotation/migration to the new key and to give the user some options since not every registrar/TLD supports every algorithm.
* Allow a user to drop a key from signing specific domains using DOMAINS= in our key configuration file. Signing the zones with extraneous keys may increase the size of DNS responses, which isn't ideal, although I don't know if this is a problem in practice. (Although a user can delete the RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 key file, the other keys will be re-generated on upgrade.)
* When generating zonefiles, add a hash of all of the DNSSEC signing keys so that when the keys change the zone is definitely regenerated and re-signed.
* In status checks, if DNSSEC is not active (or not valid), offer to use all of the keys that have been generated (for RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 on existing installs, RSASHA256, and now ECDSAP256SHA256) with all digest types, since not all registers support everything, but list them in an order that guides users to the best practice.
* In status checks, if the deployed DS record doesn't use a ECDSAP256SHA256 key, prompt the user to update their DS record.
* In status checks, if multiple DS records are set, only fail if none are valid. If some use ECDSAP256SHA256 and some don't, remind the user to delete the DS records that don't.
* Don't fail if the DS record uses the SHA384 digest (by pre-generating a DS record with that digest type) but don't recommend it because it is not in the IANA mandatory list yet (https://www.iana.org/assignments/ds-rr-types/ds-rr-types.xhtml).
See #1953
--------------------------
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.

Security fixes:
* A security issue was discovered in rsync backups. If you have enabled rsync backups, the file `id_rsa_miab` may have been copied to your backup destination. This file can be used to access your backup destination. If the file was copied to your backup destination, we recommend that you delete the file on your backup destination, delete `/root/.ssh/id_rsa_miab` on your Mail-in-a-Box, then re-run Mail-in-a-Box setup, and re-configure your SSH public key at your backup destination according to the instructions in the Mail-in-a-Box control panel.
* Brute force attack prevention was missing for the managesieve service.
Setup:
* Nextcloud was not upgraded properly after restoring Mail-in-a-Box from a backup from v0.40 or earlier.
Mail:
* Upgraded Roundcube to 1.3.10.
* Fetch an updated whitelist for greylisting on a monthly basis to reduce the number of delayed incoming emails.
Control panel:
* When using secondary DNS, it is now possible to specify a subnet range with the `xfr:` option.
* Fixed an issue when the secondary DNS option is used and the secondary DNS hostname resolves to multiple IP addresses.
* Fix a bug in how a backup configuration error is shown.

@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.
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.
