Until now, we've only supported non-amd64 on Raspbian.
Seems like there are now people running Debian/Ubuntu on ARM,
so we were forcing them into amd64 Docker packages.
I've gotten a report that this change fixes support
for Ubuntu Server 20.04 on RPi 4B.
`matrix_container_images_self_build` was not really doing anything
anymore. It previously was influencing `matrix_*_self_build` variables,
but it's no longer the case since some time ago.
Individual `matrix_*_self_build` variables are still available.
People that would like to toggle self-building for a specific component
ought to use those.
These variables are also controlled automatically (via
`group_vars/matrix_servers`) depending on `matrix_architecture`.
In other words, self-building is being done automatically for
all components when they don't have a prebuilt image for the specified
architecture. Some components only support `amd64`, while others also
have images for other architectures.
Depending on the distro, common commands like sleep and chown may either
be located in /bin or /usr/bin.
Systemd added path lookup to ExecStart in v239, allowing only the
command name to be put in unit files and not the full path as
historically required. At least Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is however still on
v237 so we should maintain portability for a while longer.
`matrix_synapse_no_tls` is now implicit, so we've gotten rid of it.
The `homeserver.yaml.j2` template has been synchronized with the
configuration generated by Synapse v0.99.1 (some new options
are present, etc.)
People who wish to rely on SRV records can prevent
the `/.well-known/matrix/server` file from being generated
(and thus, served.. which causes trouble).
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`).
