Adds support for: https://src.miscworks.net/fair/matrix-appservice-kakaotalk
This is pretty similar to
https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/1977
which just appeared, but has mostly been done independently.
I've taken some inspiration and did some fixups based on that PR.
Thanks to https://github.com/hnarjis for taking the time to contribute!
Notable differences between this branch compared to that PR:
- better naming and documentation around the "configuration" variables
- no unnecessary (5 sec.) intentional delay when starting `matrix-appservice-kakaotalk-node.service`
- stores configuration in `config/`, not in `data/`
- passes configuration as read-only and starts the bridge with (`--no-update`) to ensure no changes are made to it
- starts containers more securely - with `matrix:matrix` user:group (not `root`) and
reduced capabilities (`--cap-drop=ALL`)
- uses `tcp` for communication between the "node" and the appservice (simpler than sharing unix sockets)
- `registration.yaml` which is closer to the one generated by `matrix-appservice-kakaotalk` (no `de.sorunome.msc2409.push_ephemeral` stuff, etc.)
- `registration.yaml` which is more customizable (customizable bot username and prefix for puppets - see `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_appservice_bot_username` and `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_user_prefix`)
- less fragile and more extensible bridge permissions configuration via `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_bridge_permissions`. Doing `{% if matrix_admin %}` in the bridge configuration sometimes causes syntax problems (I hit some myself) and is not ideal. Other bridges should be redone as well.
- configurable command prefix for the bridge, instead of hardcoding `!kt` (see `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_command_prefix`)
- logging that is more consistent with the rest of the playbook (console / journald only, no logging to files), as well as configurable log level (via `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_logging_level`)
- somewhat more detailed documentation (`docs/configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-kakaotalk.md`)
- removed some dead code (data relocation tasks from `tasks/setup_install.yml`, as well as likely unnecessary SQLite -> Postgres migration)
