The attached code for the "Serving the Federation API with your certificates and matrix-nginx-proxy" section suggests using the matrix.<your-domain> certificate for the federation API as opposed to the necessary <your-domain> certificate for the federation to work. This can cause some confusion to readers.
Recently, documentation on Synapse has been changed from .rst to .md. Therefore, the current links for the purge history API were resulting in a 404 error.
Added an example for configuring the variables for the OpenID, that might fails because the variables are not defined for the playbook parsing, but Synapse's own config file parsing.

This also simplifies Prerequisites, which is great.
It'd be nice if we were doing these checks in some optional manner
and reporting them as helpful messages (using
`matrix_playbook_runtime_results`), but that's more complicated.
I'd rather drop these checks completely.
don't spawn an extra container
run pg_dumpall within matrix-postgres instead, ensures correct version
store under /matrix so a backup of the folder will contain a DB dump
use absolute paths just in case something in the ENV is messed up
In short, this makes Synapse a 2nd class citizen,
preparing for a future where it's just one-of-many homeserver software
options.
We also no longer have a default Postgres superuser password,
which improves security.
The changelog explains more as to why this was done
and how to proceed from here.

I feel like timers are somewhat more complicated and dirty (compared to
cronjobs), but they come with these benefits:
- log output goes to journald
- on newer systemd distros, you can see when the timer fired, when it
will fire, etc.
- we don't need to rely on cron (reducing our dependencies to just
systemd + Docker)
Cronjobs work well, but it's one more dependency that needs to be
installed. We were even asking people to install it manually
(in `docs/prerequisites.md`), which could have gone unnoticed.
Once in a while someone says "my SSL certificates didn't renew"
and it's likely because they forgot to install a cron daemon.
Switching to systemd timers means that installation is simpler
and more unified.
The different configurations are now all lower case, for consistent
naming.
`matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_config` is now called
`matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_preset`. The different options for "modern",
"intermediate" and "old" are stored in the main.yml file, instead of
being hardcoded in the configuration files. This will improve the
maintainability of the code.
The "custom" preset was removed. Now if one of the variables is set, it
will use it instead of the preset. This will allow to mix and match more
easily, for example using all the intermediate options but only
supporting TLSv1.2. This will also provide better backward
compatibility.
While it's kind of nice having it, it's also somewhat raw
and unnecessary.
Having a good default and not even mentioning it seems better
for most users.
People who need a more exposed bridge (rare) can use
override the default configuration using
`matrix_mautrix_signal_configuration_extension_yaml`.
We've had people who get the impression that well-known = bad,
DNS SRV = good, and who try to use DNS SRV for server delegation.
While it's true that DNS SRV can be superior for high-availability
scenarios, it's much harder to set up and comes with its own potential
downsides.
Using the well-known method is more straightforward and is enough
for almost all of us. Throwing people into the deep for no good
reason is not nice. Hopefully wording is better after this patch.
Since we'll likely have generic SQLite database importing
via [pgloader](https://pgloader.io/) for migrating bridge
databases from SQLite to Postgres, we'd rather avoid
calling the "import Synapse SQLite database" command
as just `--tags=import-sqlite-db`.
Similarly, for the media store, we'd like to mention that it's
related to Synapse as well.
We'd like to be more explicit, so as to be less confusing,
especially in light of other homeserver implementations
coming in the future.
ma1sd requires the openid endpoints for certain functionality.
Example: 90b2b5301c/src/main/java/io/kamax/mxisd/auth/AccountManager.java (L67-L99)
If federation is disabled, we still need to expose these openid APIs on the
federation port.
Previously, we were doing similar magic for Dimension.
As per its documentation, when running unfederated, one is to enable
the openid listener as well. As per their recommendation, people
are advised to do enable it on the Client-Server API port
and use the `federationUrl` variable to override where the federation
port is (making federation requests go to the Client-Server API).
Because ma1sd always uses the federation port (unless you do some
DNS overwriting magic using its configuration -- which we'd rather not
do), it's better if we just default to putting the `openid` listener
where it belongs - on the federation port.
With this commit, we retain the "automatically enable openid APIs" thing
we've been doing for Dimension, but move it to the federation port instead.
We also now do the same thing when ma1sd is enabled.
This may be a bit premature, because the bridge didn't work for me
the last time I tried it (RC3).
Some bugs have been fixed to make our config compatible with v1.0.0
though, so it may work for some people (especially those starting
fresh).
I'm not for shipping potentially broken things, but given that we were
using `docker.io/halfshot/matrix-appservice-discord:latest` and that
points to v1.0.0 already (with no other tag we can use), our setup was
already broken in any case.
Now, at least it has some chance of running.
This supersedes/fixes-up this Pull Request:
https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/719
The Jitsi Web and JVB containers now (in build 5142) always
start by bulding their own default configuration
(`config.js` and `sip-communicator.properties`, respectively).
The fact that we were generating these files ourselves was no longer of use,
because our configuration was thrown away in favor of the one created
by the containers on startup.
With this commit, we're completely redoing things. We no longer
generate these configuration files. We try to pass the proper
environment variables, so that Jitsi services can generate the
configuration files themselves.
Besides that, we try to use the "custom configuration" mechanism
provided by Jitsi Web and Jitsi JVB (`custom-config.js` and
`custom-sip-communicator.properties`, respectively), so that
we and our users can inject additional configuration.
Some configuration options we had are gone now. Others are no longer
controllable via variables and need to be injected using
the `_config_extension` variables that we provide.
The validation logic that is part of the role should take care
to inform people about how to upgrade (if they're using some custom
configuration, which needs special care now). Most users should not
have to do anything special though.
