People often report and ask about these "failures".
More-so previously, when the `docker kill/rm` output was collected,
but it still happens now when people do `systemctl status
matrix-something` and notice that it says "FAILURE".
Suppressing to avoid further time being wasted on saying "this is
expected".

I haven't really traced it (yet), but on some servers, I'm observing
`ansible-playbook ... --tags=start` completing very slowly, waiting
to stop services. I can't reproduce this on all Matrix servers I manage.
I suspect that either the systemd version is to blame or that some
specific service is not responding well to some `docker kill/rm` command.
`ExecStop` seems to work great in all cases and it's what we've been
using for a very long time, so I'm reverting to that.
Until now, we were leaving services "enabled"
(symlinks in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/).
We clean these up now. Broken symlinks may still exist in older
installations that enabled/disabled services. We're not taking care
to fix these up. It's just a cosmetic defect anyway.
In short, the problem is that older Postgres versions store passwords
hashed as md5. When you dump such a database, the dump naturally also
contains md5-hashed passwords.
Restoring from that dump used to create users and updates their passwords
with these md5 hashes.
However, Postgres v14 prefers does not like md5-hashed passwords now (by default),
which breaks connectivity. Postgres v14 prefers `scram-sha-256` for
authentication.
Our solution is to just ignore setting passwords (`ALTER ROLE ..`
statements) when restoring dumps. We don't need to set passwords as
defined in the dump anyway, because the playbook creates users
and manages their passwords by itself.

It's mildly annoying when trying to execute these scripts while logged
in as a regular user, as the missing execute permissions will hinder
autocompletion even when trying to use with sudo.
These shell scripts don't contain secrets, but may fail when ran by a
regular user. The failure is due to the lack of access to the /matrix
directory, and does not result in any damage.
This passes any arguments given to 'matrix-postgres-cli' to the 'psql' command.
Examples:
$ # start an interactive shell connected to a given db
$ sudo matrix-postgres-cli -d synapse
$ # run a query, non-interactively
$ sudo matrix-postgres-cli -d synapse -c 'SELECT group_id FROM groups;'
These are just defensive cleanup tasks that we run.
In the good case, there's nothing to kill or remove, so they trigger an
error like this:
> Error response from daemon: Cannot kill container: something: No such container: something
and:
> Error: No such container: something
People often ask us if this is a problem, so instead of always having to
answer with "no, this is to be expected", we'd rather eliminate it now
and make logs cleaner.
In the event that:
- a container is really stuck and needs cleanup using kill/rm
- and cleanup fails, and we fail to report it because of error
suppression (`2>/dev/null`)
.. we'd still get an error when launching ("container name already in use .."),
so it shouldn't be too hard to investigate.
