This reverts commit bf95ad2235.
This was a bad idea.
It's better to have people manually define the password.
Otherwise, `matrix_homeserver_generic_secret_key` changing some day in
the future would break the bot and one would have to figure out how to
reset its password manually.
Using an explicit password is more stable.
* Add matrix-registration-bot
This adds an install and uninstall task plus helpers. The bot is disabled by default.
This commit does not include documentation, yet. In short, the bot can be enabled by adding
matrix_bot_matrix_registration_bot_enabled: true
matrix_bot_matrix_registration_bot_matrix_user_password: "verysecret"
matrix_bot_matrix_registration_bot_matrix_admin_token: "supersecret"
to the host_vars
* Change bot username to bot.matrix-registration-bot following convention
* Address smaller remarks, fix local docker build
* Switch to an env file
* Add environment variables extension for additional config
* Add documentation for the matrix-registration-bot
* Add screenshot on how to obtain admin access token
* Use bot as admin to only have one access token (bot and admin api)
* Use cleaner setting of matrix_synapse_registration_requires_token
* Use config file for cleaner more secure usage
* Delete unneeded env
* Rename vars to make usage clear
* Fix typos/wording and add notice about logging out
* Convert configuration to use |to_json
* Reorder role includes
Nothing should be after `matrix-common-after`.
`matrix-bot-matrix-registration-bot` can probably be anywhere, but it makes sense to put it next to the other `matrix-bot-*` roles.
* Minor group_vars/matrix_servers touchups

Related to #193, but for the Facebook bridge.
(other bridges can be changed to do the same later).
This patch makes the bridge configuration entirely managed by the
Ansible playbook. The bridge's `config.yaml` and `registration.yaml`
configuration files are regenerated every time the playbook runs.
This allows us to apply updates to those files and to avoid
people having to manage the configuration files manually on the server.
-------------------------------------------------------------
A deficiency of the current approach to dumping YAML configuration in
`config.yaml` is that we strip all comments from it.
Later on, when the bridge actually starts, it will load and redump
(this time with comments), which will make the `config.yaml` file
change.
Subsequent playbook runs will report "changed" for the
"Ensure mautrix-facebook config.yaml installed" task, which is a little
strange.
We might wish to improve this in the future, if possible.
Still, it's better to have a (usually) somewhat meaningless "changed"
task than to what we had -- never rebuilding the configuration.
The goal is to move each bridge into its own separate role.
This commit starts off the work on this with 2 bridges:
- mautrix-telegram
- mautrix-whatsapp
Each bridge's role (including these 2) is meant to:
- depend only on the matrix-base role
- integrate nicely with the matrix-synapse role (if available)
- integrate nicely with the matrix-nginx-proxy role (if available and if
required). mautrix-telegram bridge benefits from integrating with
it.
- not break if matrix-synapse or matrix-nginx-proxy are not used at all
This has been provoked by #174 (Github Issue).
