Well, actually 8cd9cde won't work, unless we put the
`|to_nice_yaml` thing on a new line.

We can, but that takes more lines and makes things look uglier.
Using `|to_json` seems good enough.

The whole file is parsed as YAML later on and merged with the
`_extension` variable before being dumped as YAML again in the end.

Some options are no longer required and have sensible default values.

Related to #355.

Can you double check that the way I have this set only exposes it locally? It is important that the manhole is not available to the outside world since it is quite powerful and the password is hard coded.

This is a bit controversial, because.. the Synapse default remains open,
while the general advice (as per the blog post) is to make it more private.

I'm not sure exactly what kind of server people set up and whether they
want to make the room directory public. Our general goal is to favor
privacy and security when running personal (family & friends) and corporate
homeservers, both of which likely benefit from having a more secure default.

This is a new feature of Synapse v1.1.0.

Discussed in #145 (Github Pull Request).

Using `|to_json` on a string is expected to correctly wrap it in quotes (e.g. `"4"`).
Wrapping it explicitly in double-quotes results in undesirable double-quoting (`""4""`).

Attempt to fix #192 (Github Issue), potential regression since
70487061f4.

Serializing as JSON/YAML explicitly is much better than relying on
magic (well, Python serialization being valid YAML..).
It seems like Python may prefix strings with `u` sometimes (Python 3?),
which causes Python serialization to not be compatible with YAML.

Use Jinja2 lstrip_blocks option in templates to ensure consistent
indentation in generated files.

This prevents Ansible from sometimes failing to decrypt vault variables

- matrix_enable_room_list_search - Controls whether searching the public room list is enabled.
 - matrix_alias_creation_rules - Controls who's allowed to create aliases on this server.
 - matrix_room_list_publication_rules - Controls who can publish and which rooms can be published in the public room list.

Doing this for consistency.

This allows overriding the default value for `include_content`. Setting
this to false allows homeserver admins to ensure that message content
isn't sent in the clear through third party servers.
