## (Compatibility Break) Changes to `docker-src` permissions necessitating manual action
Users who build container images from source will need to manually correct file permissions of some directories on the server.
When self-building, the playbook used to `git clone` repositories (into `/matrix/SERVICE/docker-src`) using the `root` user, but now uses `matrix` instead to work around [the following issue with git 2.35.2](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/1749).
If you're on a non-`amd64` architecture (that is, you're overriding `matrix_architecture` in your `vars.yml` file) or you have enabled self-building for some service (e.g. `matrix_*_self_build: true`), you're certainly building some container images from source and have `docker-src` directories with mixed permissions lying around in various `/matrix/SERVICE` directories.
The playbook *could* correct these permissions automatically, but that requires additional Ansible tasks in some ~45 different places - something that takes considerable effort. So we ask users observing errors related to `docker-src` directories to correct the problem manually by **running this command on the Matrix server** (which deletes all `/matrix/*/docker-src` directories): `find /matrix -maxdepth 2 -name 'docker-src' | xargs rm -rf`

BorgBackup is a deduplicating backup program with optional compression and encryption.
That means your daily incremental backups can be stored in a fraction of the space and is safe whether you store it at home or on a cloud service.
The backup will run based on `matrix_backup_borg_schedule` var (systemd timer calendar), default: 4am every day
You will need a remote server where borg will store the backups. There are hosted, borg compatible solutions available, such as [BorgBase](https://www.borgbase.com).
The backup will run based on `matrix_backup_borg_schedule` var (systemd timer calendar), default: 4am every day.
* REPO - borg repository name, it will be initialized on backup start, eg: `matrix`
* PASSPHRASE - super-secret borg passphrase, you may generate it with `pwgen -s 64 1` or use any password manager
* PRIVATE KEY - the content of the public part of the ssh key you created before
* PASSPHRASE - passphrase used for encrypting backups, you may generate it with `pwgen -s 64 1` or use any password manager
* PRIVATE KEY - the content of the **private** part of the SSH key you created before
`matrix_backup_borg_location_source_directories` defines the list of directories to back up: it's set to `{{ matrix_base_data_path }}` by default, which is the base directory for every service's data, such as Synapse, Postgres and the bridges. You might want to exclude certain directories or file patterns from the backup using the `matrix_backup_borg_location_exclude_patterns` variable.
