The startup issue came from a timing dependency around coturn TLS certs:
- `matrix-coturn.service` depends on
`matrix-traefik-certs-dumper-wait-for-domain@<matrix-fqdn>.service`
- That waiter succeeds only after Traefik has obtained and dumped a cert for
the Matrix hostname (typically driven by homeserver labels/routes becoming
active)
- If coturn is started too early, it can block/fail waiting for cert files
that are not yet present
Historically, coturn priority was mode-dependent:
- `one-by-one`: coturn at 1500 (delayed after homeserver)
- other modes: coturn at 900 (before homeserver)
This could still trigger undesirable startup ordering and confusing behavior
in non-`one-by-one` modes, especially during initial bootstrap/restart flows
where cert availability lags service startup.
This change makes ordering explicit and consistent:
1. Introduce `matrix_homeserver_systemd_service_manager_priority` (default 1000)
in `roles/custom/matrix-base/defaults/main.yml`.
2. Use that variable for the homeserver service entry in
`group_vars/matrix_servers`.
3. Set coturn priority relative to homeserver priority in all modes:
`matrix_homeserver_systemd_service_manager_priority + 500`.
4. Update inline documentation comments in `group_vars/matrix_servers` to
match the new behavior and rationale.
Result:
- Homeserver/coturn ordering is deterministic and mode-agnostic.
- Coturn is intentionally started later than the homeserver by default,
reducing first-start certificate wait/fail races.
- Priority intent is now centralized and configurable via a dedicated
homeserver priority variable.
- Coturn may still be stated earlier, because the homeserver typically
has a `Wants` "dependency" on it, but that's alright
`ansible.builtin.yum` is no longer available in newer Ansible versions.
We may use `ansible.builtin.dnf` instead, but `ansible.builting.package`
seems like a safer bet that should work in both older & newer RHEL-based
distros.

This is a backward-incompatible change. By default, Ansible creates
users with (e.g.) `/bin/sh` on Linux, so changing to a no shell
leads to different behavior.
That said, it appears that using a shell-less user works OK with regard
to Ansible execution and starting the systemd services/containers later on.

`matrix_container_global_registry_prefix_override` may look similar to
the old `matrix_container_global_registry_prefix` variable
(removed in d6bf789710), but it's different.
The old `matrix_container_global_registry_prefix` variable was just a hardcode of `docker.io/` and roles that
needed to refer to `docker.io/` could use it. However, this was:
- not used by all roles, because some need another registry (not `docker.io/`)
- used only by roles within the playbook (`roles/custom`), not external roles
Overriding the old `matrix_container_global_registry_prefix` variable was rather pointless,
as it didn't cover everything.
The new `matrix_container_global_registry_prefix_override` variable, on the other hand,
lets you override the registry prefix for all components, regardless of whether they
use `docker.io/` or another registry by default.
This is useful to people who have somehow mirrored all container images to their own registry,
as it provides them with a single variable they can flip to influence the whole playbook.
This is done for a few reasons:
- less globals and more indepdendence for each role is better. We rely
on various externally-hosted roles and they don't rely on this global
either.
- `matrix_container_global_registry_prefix` could make people think they
could just override this variable and have all their images pull from
elsewhere. This is rarely the case, unless you've taken special care
to mirror all the various components (from their respective
registries) to your own. In such a case, you probably know what you're
mirroring and can adjust individual variables.
- nowadays, various components live on different registries.
With Docker Inc tightening rate limits for Docker Hub, it's even more
likely that we'll see increased diversity in where images are hosted
This merely hooks the playbook to the Traefik role's compression
middleware configuration (`traefik_config_http_middlewares_compression_*`)
The Traefik role enables the `compression` middleware by default.
Actual usage will land in a future commit.
Since a casual user might want to try another homeserver than Synapse without thinking about its consequence, it is important to clarify that it is not possible to switch homeservers once specified.
