Restart Zulip
In the necessity of restarting Zulip:
- ssh to server as zulip
- Then run:
/home/zulip/deployments/current/scripts/restart-server - You can login as another user to the VPS, and impersonate the zulip user by doing:
su zulip -c /home/zulip/deployments/current/scripts/restart-server- This command will first prompt you for the zulip user password.
Use Manage CLI
Zulip has extensive user-facing APIs, as well as a CLI called Management commands to run common actions when working with the Zulip system.
Instruction
- ssh with the zulip account to the server
- cd into deployments/current (full path it's usually
/home/zulip/deployments/current) - run
./manage.pyto print a list of all available commands
As part of each command invocation, a "realm" ID shoud be set: eg, a number associated with the Zulip instance we want to work with.
To list all realms
Do:
./manage.py list_realms
Then take note of the number (realm ID) associated with the URL at which the Zulip instance runs on.
To create a new user
Do:
./manage.py create_user '<email> '<user name>' -r <realm ID> --this-user-has-accepted-the-tos --password='<password>'
After this an email should be sent to the set email, and the user already created in the Zulip system. This might be useful when having problems with creating a new user invitation purely via email using the Zulip GUI commands (sometimes confirmation emails — after the user signed up to Zulip via the shared URL invitation — don't arrive to the user's desired email).
