Current version of pywin32 used in certbot (225) does not have wheels available for Python 3.8. Installing certbot for development in this case requires to build from source. On Windows, this implies a Visual Studio C++ environment up and ready, which is absolutely not fun.
Let's upgrade to pywin32 227, that provides these wheels for all Python versions from 3.5 up to current dev status of 3.9.
Clean up some places missed by #7544.
Found this when running test farm tests. They were working as of 5d90544, and I will truly shocked if subsequent changes (all to the windows installer) made them stop working.
* Release script needs to target new CHANGELOG location
* Clean up various other CHANGELOG path references
* Update windows paths for new certbot location
* Add certbot to packages list for windows installer
Summary of changes in this PR:
- Refactor files involved in the `certbot` module to be of a similar structure to every other package; that is, inside a directory inside the main repo root (see below).
- Make repo root README symlink to `certbot` README.
- Pull tests outside of the distributed module.
- Make `certbot/tests` not be a module so that `certbot` isn't added to Python's path for module discovery.
- Remove `--pyargs` from test calls, and make sure to call tests from repo root since without `--pyargs`, `pytest` takes directory names rather than package names as arguments.
- Replace mentions of `.` with `certbot` when referring to packages to install, usually editably.
- Clean up some unused code around executing tests in a different directory.
- Create public shim around main and make that the entry point.

This PR uses pipstrap to bootstrap the venv used to build Windows installers. This effectively pin all build dependencies, since pynsist is already installed through pip_install.py script.
* Use pipstrap
* Pin also NSIS version
This PR creates a pipeline triggered on tag push matching v0.* (eg. v0.40.0).
Once triggered, this pipeline will build the windows installer, and run integration tests on it, like for the pipeline run nightly.
I also add a simple script to extract from CHANGELOG.md file to extract the relevant part to put it in the body of the GitHub release. I believe it makes things nicer.
* Create release pipeline
* Relax condition on tags
* Put beta keyword
* Update job name
* Fix release pipeline
This PR defines pipelines that can be run on Azure Pipelines. Currently there are two:
* `.azure-pipelines/main.yml` is the main one, executed on PRs for master, and pushes to master,
* `.azure-pipelines/advanced.yml` add installer testing on top of the main pipeline, and is executed for `test-*` branches, release branches, and nightly run for master.
These two pipelines covers all existing stuff done by AppVeyor currently, and so AppVeyor can be decommissioned once Azure Pipelines is operational.
You can see working pipeline in my fork:
* a PR for `master` (so using main pipeline): https://github.com/adferrand/certbot/pull/65
* a PR for `test-something` (so using advanced pipeline): https://github.com/adferrand/certbot/pull/66
* uploaded coverage from Azure Pipelines: 499aa2cbf2/build
Once this PR is merged, we need to enable Azure Pipelines for Certbot. Instructions are written in `azure-pipelines/INSTALL.md`. This document also references all access rights required to Azure Pipelines onto GitHub to make the CI process work.
Future work for future PRs:
* create a CD pipeline for the releases that will push the installer to GitHub releases
* implement a solution to generate notification on IRC or Mattermost when a nightly build fails
* Define pipelines
* Update locations
* Update nightly
* Use x86
* Update nightly.yml for Azure Pipelines
* Run script
* Use script
* Update install
* Use local installation
* Register warnings

This PR implements the item "register a scheduled task for certificate renewal" from the list of requirements described in #7365.
This PR adds required instructions in the NSIS installer for Certbot to create a task, named "Certbot Renew Task" in the Windows Scheduler. This task is run twice a day, to execute the command certbot renew and keep the certificates up-to-date.
Uninstalling Certbot will also remove this scheduled task.
* Implementation
* Corrections
* Update template.nsi
* Improve scripts
* Add a random delay of 12 hours
* Synchronize template against default one in pynsist 2.4
* Clean config of scheduled task
* Install only in AllUsers mode
* Add comments
* Remove the logic of single user install
This PR is the first step to create an official distribution channel of Certbot for Windows. It consists essentially in creating a proper Certbot Windows installer.
Usually distributing an application requires, in a way or another, to stabilize the application logic and its dependencies around a given version. On Windows, this usually takes the form of a freezed application, that vendors its dependencies into a single executable.
There are two well-known solutions to create an executable shipping a Python application on Windows: [py2exe](http://www.py2exe.org/) and [pyinstaller](https://www.pyinstaller.org/). However these solutions create self-executable `.EXE` files: you run the `.EXE` file that launches immediately the software.
This is not a end-user solution. Indeed when a Windows user wants to install a piece of software, he expects to find and download an installer. When run the installer would interface with Windows to setup configuration entries in the Registry, update the environment variable, add shortcuts in the Start Menu, and declare a uninstaller entry into the Uninstaller Manager. Quite similarly, this is what you would get from a `.deb` or `.rpm` package.
A solution that builds proper installers is [pynsis](https://pynsist.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). It is a Python project that constructs installers for Python software using [NSIS](https://sourceforge.net/projects/nsis/), the most known free Windows installer builder solution.
This PR uses pynsist to build a Windows installer. The Python script to launch the installer build is `.\windows-installer\construct.py`. Once finished, the installer is located in `.\windows-installer\build\nsis`.
This installer will do the following operations during the installation:
* copy in the install path a full python distribution used exclusively for Certbot
* copy all Python requirements gathered from the `setup.py` of relevant certbot projects
* copy `certbot` and `acme`
* pre-build python binary assets
* register the existence of the application correctly in Windows Registry
* prepare a procedure to uninstall Certbot
* and of course, expose `certbot` executable to the Windows command line, like on Linux, to be able to launch it as any CLI application from Batch or Powershell
This installer support updates: downloading a new version of it and running it on a Windows with existing installation of Certbot will replace it with the new version.
Future capabilities not included in this PR:
* auto-update of Certbot when a new release is available
* online documentation for Windows
* register a scheduled task for certificate renewal
* installer distribution (continuous deployment + distribution channels)
* method to check the downloaded installer is untampered
* Setup config
* Fix shortcut
* Various improvments
* Update windows-installer/construct.py
