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tedomum repo contains out-of-date documentation.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.
Continuation of #234 (Github Pull Request).
I had unintentionally updated the documentation for the feature,
saying the page is available at `https://matrix.DOMAIN/nginx_status`.
Looks like it wasn't the case, going against my expectations.
I'm correcting this with this patch.
The status page is being made available on both HTTP and HTTPS.
Serving over HTTP is likely necessary for services like
Longview
(https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/longview/longview-app-for-nginx/)
It's been pointed out that DEBUG logs could contain sensitive
information (access tokens, etc.), which makes them unsuitable
for sharing with others. INFO should be enough.
Also discussed previously in #213 (Github Pull Request).
shared-secret-auth and rest-auth logging is still at `INFO`
intentionally, as user login events seem more important to keep.
Those modules typically don't spam as much.
We do restart Synapse explicitly, but some other services
(bridges, matrix-corporal, ..) may not restart sometimes.
It's best to restart all services explicitly.
Somewhat related to #213 (Github Pull Request).
We've been moving in the opposite direction for quite a long time.
All services should just leave logging to systemd's journald.
Well, `config.yaml` has been playbook-managed for a long time.
It's now extended to match the default sample config of the Discord
bridge.
With this patch, we also make `registration.yaml` playbook-managed,
which leads us to consistency with all other bridges.
Along with that, we introduce `./config` and `./data` separation,
like we do for the other bridges.
