Invitations weren't working for me until I added 'nocanon' to these additional places. Until then, invitations failed with "Invalid signature for server ..." errors, as in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3294 .
I didn't check whether the user_directory/search proxy line also needs it, I just assumed it should have it too.
The other two proxy lines in this example also include a 'retry=0' parameter. That's a separate issue; I haven't touched it here.
Putting a lot of comments inbetween `[matrix-servers]` and the example
host line may make someone decide to clean up the comment
and accidentally skip-over the `[matrix-servers]` part.
Continuation of 1f0cc92b33.
As an explanation for the problem:
when saying `localhost` on the host, it sometimes gets resolved to `::1`
and sometimes to `127.0.0.1`. On the unfortunate occassions that
it gets resolved to `::1`, the container won't be able to serve the
request, because Docker containers don't have IPv6 enabled by default.
To avoid this problem, we simply prevent any lookups from happening
and explicitly use `127.0.0.1`.
With this change, the following roles are now only dependent
on the minimal `matrix-base` role:
- `matrix-corporal`
- `matrix-coturn`
- `matrix-mailer`
- `matrix-mxisd`
- `matrix-postgres`
- `matrix-riot-web`
- `matrix-synapse`
The `matrix-nginx-proxy` role still does too much and remains
dependent on the others.
Wiring up the various (now-independent) roles happens
via a glue variables file (`group_vars/matrix-servers`).
It's triggered for all hosts in the `matrix-servers` group.
According to Ansible's rules of priority, we have the following
chain of inclusion/overriding now:
- role defaults (mostly empty or good for independent usage)
- playbook glue variables (`group_vars/matrix-servers`)
- inventory host variables (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>`)
All roles default to enabling their main component
(e.g. `matrix_mxisd_enabled: true`, `matrix_riot_web_enabled: true`).
Reasoning: if a role is included in a playbook (especially separately,
in another playbook), it should "work" by default.
Our playbook disables some of those if they are not generally useful
(e.g. `matrix_corporal_enabled: false`).
Adds support for managing certificates manually and for
having the playbook generate self-signed certificates for you.
With this, Let's Encrypt usage is no longer required.
Fixes Github issue #50.
Until now, we were starting from a fresh configuration, as generated
by Synapse and manipulating it with regex and line replacements,
until we made it work.
This is more fragile and less predictable, so we're moving to a static
configuration file generated from a Jinja template.
The upside is that configuration will be stable and predictable.
The downside of this new approach is that any manual configuration changes
after the playbook is done, will be thrown away on future playbook
invocations.
There are 2 ways to work around the need for manual configuration
changes though:
- making them part of this playbook and its default template
configuration files (which benefits everyone)
- going your own way for a given host and overriding the template files
that gets used (that is, the
`matrix_synapse_template_synapse_homeserver` or
`matrix_synapse_template_synapse_log` variables)
Switching from from avhost/docker-matrix (silviof/docker-matrix)
to matrixdotorg/synapse.
The avhost/docker-matrix (silviof/docker-matrix) image used to bundle
in the coturn STUN/TURN server, so as part of the move,
we're separating this to a separately-ran service
(matrix-coturn.service, powered by instrumentisto/coturn-docker-image)
Moving keeps everything in the /matrix directory, so that we
wouldn't contaminate anything else on the system or risk
clashing with something else.
Also retrieving certificates separately for the Riot and Matrix domains,
which should help in multiple ways:
- allows them to be very different (completely separate base domain..)
- allows for Riot to be disabled for the playbook some time later
and still have the code not break
