Many people probably didn't even know this - that ansible can be
quite a bit picky about what it will be willing to work with remotely.
Thanks @maxklenk !
Some people requested that `--tags=start` not set up service autostart.
One can now do `--tags=start --extra-vars="matrix_services_autostart_enabled=false"`
to just start services ones and not set up autostarting.
It's not like it worked anyway, because we don't have the necessary
services installed for transcription (Jigasi), nor recording (Jibri).
Disabling these, should hopefully disable their related elements
in the Jitsi Web UI.

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.
Since the switch from `-v` to `--mount` (in 1fca917ad1),
we've regressed when `matrix_ssl_retrieval_method == 'none'`.
In such a case, we don't create `/matrix/ssl` directories at all
and shouldn't be trying to mount them into the `matrix-nginx-proxy`
container.
Previously, with `-v`, Docker would auto-create them, effectively hiding
our mistake. Now that `--mount` doesn't do such auto-creation magic,
the `matrix-nginx-proxy` container was failing to start.
Fixes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/734
`-v` magically creates the source destination as a directory,
if it doesn't exist already. We'd like to avoid this magic
and the potential breakage that it might cause.
We'd rather fail while Docker tries to find things to `--mount`
than have it automatically create directories and fail anyway,
while having contaminated the filesystem.
There's a lot more `-v` instances remaining to be fixed later on.
This is just some start.
Things like `matrix_synapse_container_additional_volumes` and
`matrix_nginx_proxy_container_additional_volumes` were not changed to
use `--mount`, as options for each one are passed differently
(`ro` is `ro`, but `rw` doesn't exist and `slave` is `bind-propagation=slave`).
To avoid breaking people's custom volume mounts, we keep it as it is for now.
A deficiency with `--mount` is that it lacks the `z` option (SELinux
ownership changes), and some of our `-v` instances use that. I'm not
sure how supported SELinux is for us right now, but it might be,
and breaking that would not be a good idea.
Fixes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/716
This patch makes us use more fully-qualified container image names
(either prefixed with docker.io/ or with localhost/).
The latter happens when self-building is enabled.
We've recently had issues where if an image was removed manually
and the service was restarted (making `docker run` fetch it from Docker Hub, etc.),
we'd end up with a pulled image, even though we're aiming for a self-built one.
Re-running the playbook would then not do a rebuild, because:
- the image with that name already exists (even though it's something
else)
- we sometimes had conditional logic where we'd build only if the git
repo changed
By explicitly changing the name of the images (prefixing with localhost/),
we avoid such confusion and the possibility that we'd automatically pul something
which is not what we expect.
Also, I've removed that condition where building would happen on git
changes only. We now always build (unless an image with that name
already exists). We just force-build when the git repo changes.
We'd like the roles to be self-contained (as much as possible).
Thus, the `matrix-nginx-proxy` shouldn't reference any variables from
other roles. Instead, we rely on injection via
`group_vars/matrix_servers`.
Related to #681 (Github Pull Request)
Having it unset in the role itself (while referencign it) is a little strange.
Now people can look at the `roles/matrix-dynamic-dns/defaults/main.yml`
file and figure out everything that's necessary to run the role.

This broke in 63a49bb2dc.
Proxying the OpenID Connect endpoints is now possible,
but needs to be enabled explicitly now.
Supersedes #702 (Github Pull Request).
This patch builds up on the idea from that Pull Request,
but does things in a cleaner way.
We do this to match Synapse's new default "max_upload_size" (50MB).
This `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_client_api_client_max_body_size_mb`
default value only affects standalone usage of the `matrix-nginx-proxy`
role. When the role is used in the context of the playbook,
the value is dynamically assigned from `group_vars/matrix_servers`.
Somewhat related to #692 (Github Issue).
The regex introduced in 63a49bb2dc seems to take precedence
over the bare location blocks, causing a regression.
> It is important to understand that, by default, Nginx will serve regular expression matches in preference to prefix matches.
> However, it evaluates prefix locations first, allowing for the administer to override this tendency by specifying locations using the = and ^~ modifiers.

also, worker.yaml.j2:
- hone worker_name
- remove worker_pid_file entry (would only be used if worker_daemonize
set to true; also, synapse only knows about the container namespace
and thus can not provide the required host-view PID)
- cherry-pick "Ensure worker config exists in systemd service (#7528)"
from synapse d74cdc1a42e8b487d74c214b1d0ca575429d546a:
"check that the worker config file exists instead of silently failing."
If the SQLite database was from an older version of Synapse, it appears
that Synapse would try to run migrations on it first, before importing.
This was failing, because the file wasn't writable.
Hopefully, this fixes the problem.
Interestingly, no one has reported this failure before #662 (Github
Issue).
It doesn't make sense to keep saying that we support such old Ansible
versions, when we're not even testing on anything close to those.
Time is also passing and such versions are getting more and more
ancient. It's time we bumped our requirements to something that is more
likely to work.
showLabsSettings is the new enableLabs I guess. enableLabs doesn't seem to do anything anymore. It had been deprecated for a while.
This PR also removes @riot-bot:matrix.org as the default welcome_user_id since it doesn't exist anymore.
We recently had a report of the Postgres backup container's log file
growing the size of /var/lib/docker until it ran out of disk space.
Trying to prevent similar problems in the future.
Certain more-minimal Debian installations may not have
lsb-release installed, which makes the playbook fail.
We need lsb-release on Debian, so that ansible_lsb
could tell us if this is Debian or Raspbian.
In #628 I proposed a CORS change that turns out not to be the root of the issue. Caffeine-addled diagnosis leads to sloppy thinking, and this change should be reverted. In fact, if left it will cause problems for new installations.
Even with the v2 updates listed in #503 and partially addressed in #614, this is still needed to enable identity services to function with Element Desktop/Web. Testing on multiple clients with a clean config has confirmed this, at least for my installation.
Fix regression since 2a50b8b6bb (#597).
Dimension is intended to be embedded in various clients,
be it the Element service that we host (at element.DOMAIN),
some other Element (element-desktop running locally), etc.
The when statement is supposed to be on the block, not on the individual task.
It affects all tasks within the block (they're all to be executed when ma1sd is enabled and self-building is requested0.
The tag format used in the `ma1sd` repo have change. Versions no longer
start with 'v', and when building for non-amd64, we also need to strip
off the '-$arch' bit from the Docker image name.
Further, when building the .jar file, `ma1sd` currently names the .jar
based on the project's directory, which we call 'docker-src'. This means
other parts of the `ma1sd` build can't find the .jar file. Remedy this
by ensuring that the dir is called `docker-src/ma1sd`.
`matrix_container_images_self_build` was not really doing anything
anymore. It previously was influencing `matrix_*_self_build` variables,
but it's no longer the case since some time ago.
Individual `matrix_*_self_build` variables are still available.
People that would like to toggle self-building for a specific component
ought to use those.
These variables are also controlled automatically (via
`group_vars/matrix_servers`) depending on `matrix_architecture`.
In other words, self-building is being done automatically for
all components when they don't have a prebuilt image for the specified
architecture. Some components only support `amd64`, while others also
have images for other architectures.
There's no change in the source code. Just a release bump for packaing
reasons. It doesn't matter much for us here, but let's be on the latest
tag anyway.
Postgres setup like
matrix_mautrix_telegram_configuration_extension_yaml: |
appservice:
database: "postgres://XXX:XXX@matrix-postgres:5432/mxtg"
will fail without the right Dockernetwork
`/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf` was previously causing
some issues when used with our `--user`.
It's not the case anymore, so we can remove it.
Fixes#369 (Github Issue).
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).
Also related to ccc7aaf0ce.
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
· 😅 How to keep this in sync with the matrix-synapse documentation?
· regex location matching is expensive
· nginx syntax limit: one location only per block / statement
· thus, lots of duplicate statements in this file
Well, actually 8cd9cde won't work, unless we put the
`|to_nice_yaml` thing on a new line.
We can, but that takes more lines and makes things look uglier.
Using `|to_json` seems good enough.
The whole file is parsed as YAML later on and merged with the
`_extension` variable before being dumped as YAML again in the end.
