Reorganize Postgres access (breaking change) In short, this makes Synapse a 2nd class citizen, preparing for a future where it's just one-of-many homeserver software options. We also no longer have a default Postgres superuser password, which improves security. The changelog explains more as to why this was done and how to proceed from here. 4 years ago			`# If you've deployed using the wrong domain, you'll have to run the Uninstalling step,`
Fix typo and wording 4 years ago			`# because you can't change the Domain after deployment.`

Switch Docker image to official one Switching from from avhost/docker-matrix (silviof/docker-matrix) to matrixdotorg/synapse. The avhost/docker-matrix (silviof/docker-matrix) image used to bundle in the coturn STUN/TURN server, so as part of the move, we're separating this to a separately-ran service (matrix-coturn.service, powered by instrumentisto/coturn-docker-image) 7 years ago
Make roles more independent of one another With this change, the following roles are now only dependent on the minimal `matrix-base` role: - `matrix-corporal` - `matrix-coturn` - `matrix-mailer` - `matrix-mxisd` - `matrix-postgres` - `matrix-riot-web` - `matrix-synapse` The `matrix-nginx-proxy` role still does too much and remains dependent on the others. Wiring up the various (now-independent) roles happens via a glue variables file (`group_vars/matrix-servers`). It's triggered for all hosts in the `matrix-servers` group. According to Ansible's rules of priority, we have the following chain of inclusion/overriding now: - role defaults (mostly empty or good for independent usage) - playbook glue variables (`group_vars/matrix-servers`) - inventory host variables (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>`) All roles default to enabling their main component (e.g. `matrix_mxisd_enabled: true`, `matrix_riot_web_enabled: true`). Reasoning: if a role is included in a playbook (especially separately, in another playbook), it should "work" by default. Our playbook disables some of those if they are not generally useful (e.g. `matrix_corporal_enabled: false`). 6 years ago			`# A shared secret (between Coturn and Synapse) used for authentication.`

Set up Synapse configuration using a template (not line/regexp replacements) Until now, we were starting from a fresh configuration, as generated by Synapse and manipulating it with regex and line replacements, until we made it work. This is more fragile and less predictable, so we're moving to a static configuration file generated from a Jinja template. The upside is that configuration will be stable and predictable. The downside of this new approach is that any manual configuration changes after the playbook is done, will be thrown away on future playbook invocations. There are 2 ways to work around the need for manual configuration changes though: - making them part of this playbook and its default template configuration files (which benefits everyone) - going your own way for a given host and overriding the template files that gets used (that is, the `matrix_synapse_template_synapse_homeserver` or `matrix_synapse_template_synapse_log` variables) 7 years ago
