plausible analytics no longer loading

[ewdurbin]

As of an hour or two ago, see https://analytics.python.org/docs.python.org and https://plausible.io/docs.python.org

Looks like only a few cached pages still are loading.

[ewdurbin]

suspect commits around that time: #235, #264, #258 and python/psf-salt#560

@AA-Turner @hugovk any ideas?

I ran a manual rebuild for the security branches:

adam@docs:/srv/docsbuild$ sudo su --shell=/bin/bash docsbuild
docsbuild@docs:/srv/docsbuild$ /srv/docsbuild/venv/bin/python /srv/docsbuild/scripts/build_docs.py --languages en --select-output only-html-en --branches 3.14 3.13 3.12 3.11 3.10 3.9

This ran without PYTHON_DOCS_ENABLE_ANALYTICS=1, because that environment variables is managed by Salt, and seemingly only set for the scheduled cron jobs.

I've just started another rebuild with PYTHON_DOCS_ENABLE_ANALYTICS=1 set, hopefully this restores normality.

https://docs.python.org/3.14/ is now showing as having the scripts again, please could you confirm? Sorry for the trouble.

Is there a good way to set all of the salt-managed environment variables at once in a shell for when doing manual rebuilds?

I also see the Plausible scripts at https://docs.python.org/3.14/ and the view counts are increasing again:

[ewdurbin]

Probably the least intrusive way would be to update the scripts to read from a config file in like an xdg style way, allowing us to set a server wide setting that is picked up by the script when run in cron, interactively, or when using sudo.

Then salt could write the sentry dsn, fastly bits, and the analytics bit to /etc/....somethingoranother, and users could have local overrides.

Symlinks have updated, I now see plausible on https://docs.python.org/3/.

Opened #266 as a reminder for this.
