Previously, Travis pushed the build artitfacts to the preview server.
This required us to use JWT to secure the POST request from Travis, to
ensure we couldn't receive malicious builds.
JWT has been deprecated and we are moving our builds to CircleCI.
This commit rewrites the TypeScript part of the preview server that
handles converting build artifact into hosted previews of the docs.
closes#19352
Previously, the upload server (for PR previews) was run as root and
"downleveled" to a non-privileged user from inside the node script.
Now, with the latest version of `pm2` (which is used to run the upload server
scripts), we can get rid of that workaround and set the desired UID directly
through `pm2`.
This commit introduces the ability to show previews for PRs by any author. It works as follows:
- The build artifacts of all PRs are uploaded to the preview server.
- Automatically verified PRs (i.e. from trusted authors or having a specific label) are deployed and
publicly accessible as usual.
- PRs that could not be automatically verified are stored for later use (after re-verification).
- A PR can be marked as "trusted" and make its preview publicly accessible by adding the GitHub
label specified in the `AIO_TRUSTED_PR_LABEL` env var of the preview server.
At the moment, there is no automatic mechanism for notifying the preview server about changes to the
PR's verification status. The PR's "visibility" will be checked and updated every time a new build
is uploaded.
