Zulip

Resources

Setup

After installing Zulip, visiting it for the first time shows a “No organization found” page. To create an organization, open a terminal session for the Zulip container/service from the Quollix Terminal page and run:

su zulip -c '/home/zulip/deployments/current/manage.py generate_realm_creation_link'

Then copy the generated link into the browser URL bar.

• Add an organization name (it should not include spaces), select the organization type, and enter the email address local-admin@example.invalid. Leave Use zulip.<base-domain> enabled, then click ‘Create Organization’.

• Enter the name local-admin, and select an option for ‘How did you first hear about Zulip?’. Then click ‘Sign Up’.

• Settings (cog icon) > Organization settings > Organization permissions > Joining the organization:

  • Disable “Invitations are required to join this organization”
  • Remove the entry in ‘Who can send email invitations to new users’
  • Save changes

• Profile → Log out

• Log in with Quollix → Sign up → Sign up with Quollix → Sign up

• List realms to learn the realm ID, usually it is 2:

su zulip -c '/home/zulip/deployments/current/manage.py list_realms'

• Make the Quollix administrator an organization owner:

su zulip -c '/home/zulip/deployments/current/manage.py change_user_role -r <realm-id> <quollix-admin-email> owner'

• Deactivate the local administrator account:

su zulip -c '/home/zulip/deployments/current/manage.py deactivate_user -f local-admin@example.invalid'

Further Settings

Because accounts are managed through Quollix, restrict profile changes in Zulip:

Settings → Organization settings → Organization permissions:

• Check “Require unique names”
• Check “Prevent users from changing their name”
• Check “Prevent users from changing their email address”
