`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:
- brings consistency - no more mixing `_name_prefix` and `_registry_prefix`
- adds extensibility - a future patch will allow reconfiguring all registry prefixes for all roles in the playbook
We still have `_docker_` vs `_container_` inconsistencies.
These may be worked on later.
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).
