* Fix capitalization: Coturn → coturn
See: https://github.com/coturn/coturn. Note that "coturn" is not capitalized even on the start of a sentence, except some rare cases like on the releases page: https://github.com/coturn/coturn/releases

This commit replaces instructions to create passwords, passphrases, or secrets with common ones.

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.

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.
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
