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.
the current version fails the import, because the volume for the media is missing. It still fails if you have the optional shared secret password provider is enabled, so that might need another mount. Commenting out the password provider in the hoimeserver.yaml during the run works as well.
This is mostly here to guard against problems happening
due to server migration and doing `chown -R matrix:matrix /matrix`.
Normally, the file is owned by `1000:1000`, as expected.
If ownership changes, Dimension could still start, but it will fail the
first time it tries to write to the database. Explicitly chowning
before startup guards against this.
Related to #485 and #486 (Github Pull Requests).

Dimension runs as the `node` user in the container (`1000:1000`).
It doesn't seem like we have a way around it. Thus, its configuration
must also be readable by that user (or group, in this case).
We don't really need to fail in such a spectactular way,
but it's probably good to do. It will only happen for people
who are defining their own user/group id, which is rare.
It seems like a good idea to tell them that this doesn't work
as they expect anymore and to ask them to remove these variables,
which otherwise give them a fake sense of hope.
Related to #486 (Github Pull Request).
If one runs the playbook with `--tags=setup-all`, it would have been
fine.
But running with a specific tag (e.g. `--tags=setup-riot-web`) would
have made that initialization be skipped, and the `matrix-riot-web` role
would fail, due to missing variables.
Ansible will migrate the ownership of the base path and config path, but
manual intervention will be required in order to migrate the ownership
of files in those directories (i.e. dimension.db).
Stop the services:
(local)$ ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=stop
Fix the permissions on the server:
(server)# chown -Rv "{{ matrix_user_username }}:{{ matrix_user_username }}" "{{ matrix_dimension_base_path }}"
which would typically look like:
(server)# chown -Rv matrix:matrix /matrix/dimension/
Reconfigure Dimension and start the services:
(local)$ ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-dimension,start
* add permalinkPrefix to riot-web config
* add feature to change default theme of riot-web via its config file
* remove matrix_riot_web_change_default_theme and provide sane default
