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.

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.

* 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.
Merges #1140
* sshfp records from nonstandard ports
If port 22 is not open, dns_update.py will not create SSHFP records
because it only scans port 22 for keys. This commit modifies
dns_update.py to parse the sshd_config file for open ports, and
then obtains keys from one of them (even if port 22 is not open).
* modified test of s per JoshData request
* edit CHANGELOG per JoshData
* fix typo
Seems like if REQUEST_METHOD is set to GET, then we can drop two redundant ways the query string is given. munin-cgi-graph itself reads the environment variables only, but its calls to Perl's CGI::param will look at the command line if REQUEST_METHOD is not used, otherwise it uses environment variables like CGI used to work.
Since this is all behind admin auth anyway, there isn't a public vulnerability. #914 was opened without comment which lead me to notice the redundancy and worry about a vulnerability, before I realized this is admin-only anyway.
The vulnerability was created by 6d6f3ea391.
See #914.
This is the v0.19b hotfix commit.
DavDroid's latest version's account configuration no longer just asked for a hostname. Its email address & password configuration mode did not work without a SRV record.
In the earlier commit, I added a Dovecot userdb lookup. Without a userdb lookup, Dovecot would use the password db for user lookups. With a userdb lookup we can support iterating over users.
But I forgot the WHERE clause in the query, resulting in every incoming message being accepted if the user database contained any users at all. Since the mailbox path template is the same for all users, mail was delivered correctly except that mail that should have been rejected was delivered too.
On some machines localhost is defined as something other than 127.0.0.1, and if we mix "127.0.0.1" and "localhost" then some connections won't be to to the address a service is actually running on.
This was the case with DKIM: It was running on "localhost" but Postfix was connecting to it at 127.0.0.1. (https://discourse.mailinabox.email/t/opendkim-is-not-running-port-8891/1188/12.)
I suppose "localhost" could be an alias to an IPv6 address? We don't really want local services binding on IPv6, so use "127.0.0.1" to be explicit and don't use "localhost" to be sure we get an IPv4 address.

merge hotfix release tag 'v0.17c' into master
The hotfixes were all already applied to master in original PRs. This merge merely brings over the CHANGELOG and the updated install instructions (v0.17b=>v0.17c), including to bootstrap.sh which is what triggers v0.17c being the latest release.
This was originally fixed in 143bbf37f4 (February 16, 2015). Then I broke it in 7a93d219ef (November 2015) while doing some refactoring ahead of v0.15.

A user on that thread suggests an alternate solution, adding `PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8` to `/etc/environment`. Python docs say that affects stdin/out/err. But we also use these environment variables elsewhere to ensure that config files we read/write are opened with UTF8 too. Maybe all that can be simplified too.
Sending mail through Exchange/ActiveSync (Z-Push) had been broken since v0.14. This is now fixed.

Merge release branch v0.15a
v0.15a
Sending mail through Exchange/ActiveSync (Z-Push) had been broken since v0.14. This is now fixed.
Refactor by moving the email-the-admin code out of the status checks and into a new separate tool.
This is why I suppressed non-error output of the backups last commit - so it doesn't send a daily email.
-----------------------
Mail:
* Updated Roundcube to version 1.1.3.
* Auto-create aliases for abuse@, as required by RFC2142.
* The DANE TLSA record is changed to use the certificate subject public key rather than the whole certificate, which means the record remains valid after certificate changes (so long as the private key remains the same, which it does for us).
Control panel:
* When IPv6 is enabled, check that system services are accessible over IPv6 too, that the box's hostname resolves over IPv6, and that reverse DNS is setup correctly for IPv6.
* Explanatory text for setting up secondary nameserver is added/fixed.
* DNS checks now have a timeout in case a DNS server is not responding, so the checks don't stall indefinitely.
* Better messages if external DNS is used and, weirdly, custom secondary nameservers are set.
* Add POP to the mail client settings documentation.
* The box's IP address is added to the fail2ban whitelist so that the status checks don't trigger the machine banning itself, which results in the status checks showing services down even though they are running.
* For SSL certificates, rather than asking you what country you are in during setup, ask at the time a CSR is generated. The default system self-signed certificate now omits a country in the subject (it was never needed). The CSR_COUNTRY Mail-in-a-Box setting is dropped entirely.
System:
* Nightly backups and system status checks are now moved to 3am in the system's timezone.
* fail2ban's recidive jail is now active, which guards against persistent brute force login attacks over long periods of time.
* Setup (first run only) now asks for your timezone to set the system time.
* The Exchange/ActiveSync server is now taken offline during nightly backups (along with SMTP and IMAP).
* The machine's random number generator (/dev/urandom) is now seeded with Ubuntu Pollinate and a blocking read on /dev/random.
* DNSSEC key generation during install now uses /dev/urandom (instead of /dev/random), which is faster.
* The $STORAGE_ROOT/ssl directory is flattened by a migration script and the system SSL certificate path is now a symlink to the actual certificate.
* If ownCloud sends out email, it will use the box's administrative address now (admin@yourboxname).
* Z-Push (Exchange/ActiveSync) logs now exclude warnings and are now rotated to save disk space.
* Fix pip command that might have not installed all necessary Python packages.
* The control panel and backup would not work on Google Compute Engine because GCE installs a conflicting boto package.
* Added a new command `management/backup.py --restore` to restore files from a backup to a target directory (command line arguments are passed to `duplicity restore`).
