ef5e4ad061 intentionally makes us conform to
the logging format suggested by the official Docker image.
Reverting this part, because it's uglier.
This likely should be fixed upstream as well though.
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.
Fixes a regression introduced during the upgrade to
Synapse v1.1.0 (in 2b3865ceea).
Since Synapse v1.1.0 upgraded to Python 3.7
(https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5546),
we need to use a different modules directory when mounting
password provider modules.
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.
According to
https://passlib.readthedocs.io/en/stable/lib/passlib.hash.sha512_crypt.html:
> salt (str) – Optional salt string. If not specified, one will be autogenerated (this is recommended).
> If specified, it must be 0-16 characters, drawn from the regexp range [./0-9A-Za-z].
Until now, we were using invalid characters (like `-`). We were also
going over the requested length limit of 16 characters.
This is most likely what was causing `ValueError` exceptions for some people,
as reported in #209 (Github Issue).
Ansible's source code (`lib/ansible/utils/encrypt.py`) shows that Ansible tries
to use passlib if available and falls back to Python's `crypt` module if not.
For Mac, `crypt.crypt` doesn't seem to work, so Ansible always requires passlib.
Looks like crypt is forgiving when length or character requirements are
not obeyed. It would auto-trim a salt string to make it work, which means
that we could end up with the same hash if we call it with salts which aer only
different after their 16th character.
For these reasons (crypt autotriming and passlib downright complaining),
we're now using shorter and more diverse salts.
I've been thinking of doing before, but haven't.
Now that the Whatsapp bridge does it (since 4797469383),
it makes sense to do it for all other bridges as well.
(Except for the IRC bridge - that one manages most of registration.yaml by itself)
appservice-irc doesn't have permission to create files in its project
directory and the intention is to log to the console, anyway. By
commenting out the file names, appservice-irc won't attempt to open the
files.
This means we need to explicitly specify a `media_url` now,
because without it, `url` would be used for building public URLs to
files/images. That doesn't work when `url` is not a public URL.
Until now, if `--tags=setup-synapse` was used, bridge tasks would not
run and bridges would fail to register with the `matrix-synapse` role.
This means that Synapse's configuration would be generated with an empty
list of appservices (`app_service_config_files: []`).
.. and then bridges would fail, because Synapse would not be aware of
there being any bridges.
From now on, bridges always run their init tasks and always register
with Synapse.
For the Telegram bridge, the same applies to registering with
matrix-nginx-proxy. Previously, running `--tags=setup-nginx-proxy` would
get rid of the Telegram endpoint configuration for the same reason.
Not anymore.
With most people on Synapse v0.99+ and Synapse v1.0 now available,
we should no longer try to be backward compatible with Synapse 0.34,
because this just complicates the instructions for no good reason.
