We've had people who get the impression that well-known = bad,
DNS SRV = good, and who try to use DNS SRV for server delegation.
While it's true that DNS SRV can be superior for high-availability
scenarios, it's much harder to set up and comes with its own potential
downsides.
Using the well-known method is more straightforward and is enough
for almost all of us. Throwing people into the deep for no good
reason is not nice. Hopefully wording is better after this patch.
Since we'll likely have generic SQLite database importing
via [pgloader](https://pgloader.io/) for migrating bridge
databases from SQLite to Postgres, we'd rather avoid
calling the "import Synapse SQLite database" command
as just `--tags=import-sqlite-db`.
Similarly, for the media store, we'd like to mention that it's
related to Synapse as well.
We'd like to be more explicit, so as to be less confusing,
especially in light of other homeserver implementations
coming in the future.
ma1sd requires the openid endpoints for certain functionality.
Example: 90b2b5301c/src/main/java/io/kamax/mxisd/auth/AccountManager.java (L67-L99)
If federation is disabled, we still need to expose these openid APIs on the
federation port.
Previously, we were doing similar magic for Dimension.
As per its documentation, when running unfederated, one is to enable
the openid listener as well. As per their recommendation, people
are advised to do enable it on the Client-Server API port
and use the `federationUrl` variable to override where the federation
port is (making federation requests go to the Client-Server API).
Because ma1sd always uses the federation port (unless you do some
DNS overwriting magic using its configuration -- which we'd rather not
do), it's better if we just default to putting the `openid` listener
where it belongs - on the federation port.
With this commit, we retain the "automatically enable openid APIs" thing
we've been doing for Dimension, but move it to the federation port instead.
We also now do the same thing when ma1sd is enabled.
This may be a bit premature, because the bridge didn't work for me
the last time I tried it (RC3).
Some bugs have been fixed to make our config compatible with v1.0.0
though, so it may work for some people (especially those starting
fresh).
I'm not for shipping potentially broken things, but given that we were
using `docker.io/halfshot/matrix-appservice-discord:latest` and that
points to v1.0.0 already (with no other tag we can use), our setup was
already broken in any case.
Now, at least it has some chance of running.
This supersedes/fixes-up this Pull Request:
https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/719
The Jitsi Web and JVB containers now (in build 5142) always
start by bulding their own default configuration
(`config.js` and `sip-communicator.properties`, respectively).
The fact that we were generating these files ourselves was no longer of use,
because our configuration was thrown away in favor of the one created
by the containers on startup.
With this commit, we're completely redoing things. We no longer
generate these configuration files. We try to pass the proper
environment variables, so that Jitsi services can generate the
configuration files themselves.
Besides that, we try to use the "custom configuration" mechanism
provided by Jitsi Web and Jitsi JVB (`custom-config.js` and
`custom-sip-communicator.properties`, respectively), so that
we and our users can inject additional configuration.
Some configuration options we had are gone now. Others are no longer
controllable via variables and need to be injected using
the `_config_extension` variables that we provide.
The validation logic that is part of the role should take care
to inform people about how to upgrade (if they're using some custom
configuration, which needs special care now). Most users should not
have to do anything special though.
This broke in 63a49bb2dc.
Proxying the OpenID Connect endpoints is now possible,
but needs to be enabled explicitly now.
Supersedes #702 (Github Pull Request).
This patch builds up on the idea from that Pull Request,
but does things in a cleaner way.
Interestingly, no one has reported this failure before #662 (Github
Issue).
It doesn't make sense to keep saying that we support such old Ansible
versions, when we're not even testing on anything close to those.
Time is also passing and such versions are getting more and more
ancient. It's time we bumped our requirements to something that is more
likely to work.
Change anonymized to more proper term as server vice this is not anonymized. Server name is the first parameter that is collected. And if server happens to be for individual use these statistics would be at personal level without any anonymising.
We recently had a report of the Postgres backup container's log file
growing the size of /var/lib/docker until it ran out of disk space.
Trying to prevent similar problems in the future.
If a Postgres dump contains ALTER TABLE ... OWNER_TO <username>
statements which set the owner to a username different from
'synapse' the post Postgres import task will fail complaining
about lack of role.
Changing the matrix_postgres_connection_username group var has no
effect. However, the ALTER TABLE statements (and accompanying comments)
can be rewritten to change the username to 'synapse', which permits the
import task to succeed.
From a sample of 1, having the owner set in this was causes no
discernable side effects on the homeserver.
One could also remove the two variables from the docs completely,
because they are set by the playbook automatically.
Error: javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: Certificate for
<matrix.<your-domain>> doesn't match any of the subject alternative
names: [<your-domain>]
Fixes#577 (Github Issue).
`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.
This flag is necessary for Ansible to ask for the sudo password when using the non-root option as documented in the `hosts` file. Otherwise, Ansible errors out with `missing sudo password`.
We do this for 2 reasons:
- so we can control things which are not controllable using environment
variables (for example `stunServers` in jitsi/web, since we don't wish
to use the hardcoded Google STUN servers if our own Coturn is enabled)
- so playbook variable changes will properly rebuild the configuration.
When using Jitsi environment variables, the configuration is only built
once (the first time) and never rebuilt again. This is not the
consistent with the rest of the playbook and with how Ansible operates.
We're not perfect at it (yet), because we still let the Jitsi containers
generate some files on their own, but we are closer and it should be
good enough for most things.
Related to #415 (Github Pull Request).
I am new to synapse. Thanks so much for these playbooks!
I wasn't sure how you actual activate dimensions after setting these variables. Should you re run
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=start
? If so perhaps you could tell the readers to do this somewhere in the help file
Thanks =]
This fixes an incorrect indentation in the database specification for
appservice-irc which caused matrix-appservice-irc to refuse to start
with the remarkably unhelpful error message:
```
ERROR:CLI Failed to run bridge.
```
This also updates doc links to the new matrixdotorg repo because the
tedomum repo contains out-of-date documentation.
Don't mention systemd-journald adjustment anymore, because
we've changed log levels to WARNING and Synapse is not chatty by default
anymore.
The "excessive log messages may get dropped on CentOS" issue no longer
applies to most users and we shouldn't bother them with it.
