> Invalid data passed to 'loop', it requires a list, got this instead: matrix_postgres_additional_databases. Hint: If you passed a list/dict of just one element, try adding wantlist=True to your lookup invocation or use q/query instead of lookup.
Well, or working around it, as I've done in this commit (which seems
more sane than `wantlist=True` stuff).
To avoid needing to have `jq` installed on the machine, we could:
- try to run jq in a Docker container using some small image providing
that
- better yet, avoid `jq` altogether
Moving it above the "uninstalling" set of tasks is better.
Extracting it out to another file at the same time, for readability,
especially given that it will probably have to become more complex in
the future (potentially installing `jq`, etc.)
As suggested in #63 (Github issue), splitting the
playbook's logic into multiple roles will be beneficial for
maintainability.
This patch realizes this split. Still, some components
affect others, so the roles are not really independent of one
another. For example:
- disabling mxisd (`matrix_mxisd_enabled: false`), causes Synapse
and riot-web to reconfigure themselves with other (public)
Identity servers.
- enabling matrix-corporal (`matrix_corporal_enabled: true`) affects
how reverse-proxying (by `matrix-nginx-proxy`) is done, in order to
put matrix-corporal's gateway server in front of Synapse
We may be able to move away from such dependencies in the future,
at the expense of a more complicated manual configuration, but
it's probably not worth sacrificing the convenience we have now.
As part of this work, the way we do "start components" has been
redone now to use a loop, as suggested in #65 (Github issue).
This should make restarting faster and more reliable.
