This gives more control over the request. In particular we can easily
lookup DNS dynamically, instead of only upon NGINX startup.
Previously, NGINX was looking up IP for the letter avatar service and
caching the CDN IP address, this caused issues if CDN changed IP, in
which letter avatars would be broken till a container restarted.
NGINX config has been updated to add caching. This change will require
a container rebuild.
The proxy will now function in development environments, so the patch
for `letter_avatar_proxy` has been removed.
This makes backups slimmer out of the box but introduces extra process post
restore to run a full rebake of all posts containing uploads and all avatars
The benefit (slimmer backup) outweighs the cost of running the full rebake
`rails/all` includes too much stuff per: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/all.rb
This commit makes it explicit what pieces of Rails Discourse depends on.
Previously the LoadError was protecting us and we were excluding components,
using the Gemfile, this method ensures that even if we add `rails` meta gem
as a dependency only the parts of Rails Discourse uses will be used.
New `about.json` fields (all optional):
- `authors`: An arbitrary string describing the theme authors
- `theme_version`: An arbitrary string describing the theme version
- `minimum_discourse_version`: Theme will be auto-disabled for lower versions. Must be a valid version descriptor.
- `maximum_discourse_version`: Theme will be auto-disabled for lower versions. Must be a valid version descriptor.
A localized description for a theme can be provided in the language files under the `theme_metadata.description` key
The admin UI has been re-arranged to display this new information, and give more prominence to the remote theme options.
