Pretty much all variables live in their own `matrix_<whatever>`
prefix now and are grouped closer together in the default
variables file (`roles/matrix-server/defaults/main.yml`).
It should be `/bin/mkdir` and `/bin/chown` on Ubuntu 18.04 for example.
Still, it doesn't seem like we need to create and chown these
directories at all, since the playbook takes care of creating them
and setting appropriate permission by itself.
`--log-driver=none` is used for all Docker containers now.
All these containers are started through systemd anyway and get logged in journald,
so there's no need for Docker to be logging the same thing using the default `json-file` driver.
Doing that was growing `/var/lib/docker/containers/..` infinitely until service/container restart.
As a result of this, things like `docker logs matrix-synapse` won't work anymore.
`journalctl -u matrix-synapse` is how one can see the logs.
Moving away from using the default bridge network to using our own.
This isolates our services from other Docker containers running
on the default network on the same host.
The benefits are that:
- isolation is a little better - we no longer share a default
bridge network with any other containers that might be running on the host
- there are no longer hard dependencies - we do service discovery
by DNS name, and not via explicit `--link` usage during container start,
so containers can start out of order and fail without bringing down others
with them
(`matrix-nginx-proxy` can continue running, even if one of the other services dies)
In the future, when other services get introduced,
the increased resilience and simplicity will help as well.
This playbook just tries to avoid trying to setup a Postgres 10
database with existing 9.x files, as that makes Postgres complain.
Due to this, existing installs (still on 9.x) are detected
and left on Postgres 9.x.
They need to be upgraded to Postgres 10.x manually.
