Jitsi-meet enabled websockets by default, claiming better reliability.
Matrix-nginx-proxy configuration has been set up according to the
Prosody documentation: https://prosody.im/doc/websocket
**HSTS Preloading:**
In its strongest and recommended form, the [HSTS policy](https://www.chromium.org/hsts) includes all subdomains, and indicates a willingness to be “preloaded” into browsers:
`Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload`
**X-Xss-Protection:**
`1; mode=block` which tells the browser to block the response if it detects an attack rather than sanitising the script.
We have a flow like this:
1. matrix.DOMAIN vhost (matrix-domain.conf)
2. matrix-synapse vhost (matrix-synapse.conf); or matrix-corporal container, if enabled
3. (optional) matrix-synapse vhost (matrix-synapse.conf), if matrix-corporal enabled
4. matrix-synapse container
We are setting `X-Forwarded-For` correctly in step #1, but were
overwriting it in step #2 with something inaccurate.
Not doing anything in step #2 is better than doing the wrong thing.
It's probably best if we append another reverse-proxy address there
though, although what we're doing now (with this patch) seems to yield
the correct result (when matrix-corporal is not enabled).
When matrix-corporal is enabled, we still seem to do the wrong thing for
some reason. It's something to be fixed later on.
People who were disabling matrix-nginx-proxy (in favor of their own
nginx webserver) and also overriding `matrix_federation_public_port`,
found that the generated nginx configuration still hardcoded `8448`,
which forced their nginx server to use that, regardless of the fact
that `matrix_federation_public_port` was pointing elsewhere.
We now allow for the in-container federation port to be configurable,
and also automatically wire things properly.
We're talking about a webserver running on the same machine, which
imports the configuration files generated by the `matrix-nginx-proxy`
in the `/matrix/nginx-proxy/conf.d` directory.
Users who run an nginx webserver on some other machine will need to do
something different.
This give us the possibility to run multiple instances of
workers that that don't expose a port.
Right now, we don't support that, but in the future we could
run multiple `federation_sender` or `pusher` workers, without
them fighting over naming (previously, they'd all be named
something like `matrix-synapse-worker-pusher-0`, because
they'd all define `port` as `0`).
