* Update docs/installing.md and docs/quick-start.md: mention "make roles"
This commit adds mentions to "make roles" and a note about the preference of ansible-playbook commands over the just "recipes".
quick-start.md intends to be referred by those who have never used the playbook to set up a server, so it is safer to regard that it is not clear to them what exactly the just "recipes" are made of, ie. it takes some time and experience until someone understands simplicity of them. For beginners, I believe that we should prefer the basics over simplicity, from the educational point of view.
If someone feels tired of using the same command repetitively, then the person will have been already well accustomed to the way how the playbook works and how the server is supposed to be maintained, and the person is "qualified" to use the just "recipes", and should be able to use them with confidence, distinguishing the playbook tags from the "recipes", for example, from "just install-all" and "ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=install-all". Such level of familiarity and experience should not be expected on the quick start guide.

* Add a note about cases to create multiple accounts/users
Since one of the quick start guide's goals is to set up an own user account, this commit adds the note about creating multiple accounts/users to installing.md and registering-users.md only. It should be fine as registering-users.md is linked from quick-start.md
Also:
- On installing.md and quick-start.md, change instruction from what encourages to select "admin=yes" or "admin=no" to what encourages to use "admin=yes", since your user account will be the sole user on the server, as long as you set up the server by following the documentation
- Remove the link to registering-users.md from quick-start.md as the documentation is already linked above, under the header of the section
- Sync docs/installing.md with other documentation
Signed-off-by: Suguru Hirahara <acioustick@noreply.codeberg.org>
* Remove a line about setting "admin=yes" to reduce the amount of information
Because quick-start.md is getting longer with much information, it removes the note in favor of the linked registering-users.md documentation. The note is available on installing.md as well, and details about adding user accounts for other people can (and should) be checked on those documentations.
Also, this commit edits lines above these notes to make it clear that your user account will be an administrator of the server.
With this commit, the amount of the information about adding user accounts will be: registering-users.md > installing.md > quick-start.md

* Add hard-coded breadcrumbs to documentation files about installation procedure for easier navigation
Since it is easy to get lost among these files, the breadcrumbs should be helpful to get the whole picture of the procedure. Hopefully they will be replaced with something else generated automatically.
Please note that the usage of <sup> HTML tags on this context is not proper as the tag is intended to be used only for typographical reasons. Here <small> tags should rather be used instead as long as we do not use CSS, but since GitHub strips these tags against its spec (https://github.github.com/gfm/#disallowed-raw-html-extension-) (also note: the <small> HTML tags are not stripped on Codeberg for example), this commit intentionally uses <sup> to have those breadcrumbs rendered in small points.

I've just tested Rocky Linux v9 and it seems to work.
I suppose the Docker situation
(https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/300)
on RHEL v8 has improved, so it probably works too.
I see no reason AlmaLinux and other RHEL derivatives wouldn't work,
but I have neither tested them, nor have confirmation from others about
it.
It's mostly a matter of us being able to install:
- Docker, via https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-docker which
seems to support various distros
- a few other packages (systemd-timesyncd, etc).
The list of supported distros has been reordered alphabetically.
I've heard reports of SUSE Linux working well too, so it may also be added
if confirmed again.
Closes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/300
It's not strictly required yet, but certain versions of Ansible display warnings
if passlib is missing. The non-passlib crypto usage is deprecated, so
passlib will become a requirement in newer Ansible versions. It's only a
matter of time.
Related to https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/1282
It's mostly due to Docker CE dropping its repositories (and support) for
Debian 9.
If one installs Docker manually (likely a package named `docker.io`), it
will likely still work.
In any case, Debian 9 is old and end-of-life now, so advertising support
for it is not productive.
Related to https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/963
This also simplifies Prerequisites, which is great.
It'd be nice if we were doing these checks in some optional manner
and reporting them as helpful messages (using
`matrix_playbook_runtime_results`), but that's more complicated.
I'd rather drop these checks completely.
Fixes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/756
Related to https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/737
I feel like timers are somewhat more complicated and dirty (compared to
cronjobs), but they come with these benefits:
- log output goes to journald
- on newer systemd distros, you can see when the timer fired, when it
will fire, etc.
- we don't need to rely on cron (reducing our dependencies to just
systemd + Docker)
Cronjobs work well, but it's one more dependency that needs to be
installed. We were even asking people to install it manually
(in `docs/prerequisites.md`), which could have gone unnoticed.
Once in a while someone says "my SSL certificates didn't renew"
and it's likely because they forgot to install a cron daemon.
Switching to systemd timers means that installation is simpler
and more unified.
ma1sd requires the openid endpoints for certain functionality.
Example: 90b2b5301c/src/main/java/io/kamax/mxisd/auth/AccountManager.java (L67-L99)
If federation is disabled, we still need to expose these openid APIs on the
federation port.
Previously, we were doing similar magic for Dimension.
As per its documentation, when running unfederated, one is to enable
the openid listener as well. As per their recommendation, people
are advised to do enable it on the Client-Server API port
and use the `federationUrl` variable to override where the federation
port is (making federation requests go to the Client-Server API).
Because ma1sd always uses the federation port (unless you do some
DNS overwriting magic using its configuration -- which we'd rather not
do), it's better if we just default to putting the `openid` listener
where it belongs - on the federation port.
With this commit, we retain the "automatically enable openid APIs" thing
we've been doing for Dimension, but move it to the federation port instead.
We also now do the same thing when ma1sd is enabled.
