Feature: Allow to disable HTTPS

[galexrt]

I'm working on a fix.

Could you tell me what changes you want to make to the Django config? Because then I could consider adding environment variables for the configuration of Django.

Thanks for the bug report!

Thansk for the quick response! :)

I am using a proxy in front of this container that takes care of both https and some other things. So I had to change out the nginx config, killing https, and killing the redirect.

[galexrt]

@xeor I could add an environment Variable for disabling https and https redirect from the nginx in the container. So you don't need to modify the container files.
Would that be okay for you?

[xeor]

That would be a very acceptable solution! I would imagine many people wanting to do this as well, so a generic fix would be good.

The post-setup.d issue would still be nice to have tho. Since it's undocumented, maybe you can write a little comment in the entrypoint script asking people to submit an issue, if their post-setup script fixes something that should be implemented as an environment-variable..

Thanks!

I'm not removing the post-setup.d feature.
I just add an environment Variable like DISABLE_HTTPS, to disable nginx https and the https redirect.

[xeor]

Cool.. But the post-setup.d feature is still broken, as it says that it's not able to find any files, if it finds files..

[galexrt]

As I already said, I'm going to fix the post-setup.d feature.
I can push the fix in about 30 minutes, after the image has been rebuilt, you can repull the image (docker pull quay.io/galexrt/zulip:latest).

[galexrt]

Can you try again with version v1.3.9-2 of the image?
In the v1.3.9-2 I fixed the post-setup.d script execution.

[galexrt]

The DISABLE_HTTPS env variable has been implemented in the dev-v1.3.10 branch.
Please don't use the dev-v1.3.10 image.
Closing as the feature has been implemented and we'll just have to wait until Zulip merges the official Dockerfile Pull request for this to work.
