Some client API endpoints (e.g. keys/upload) are backed by Synapse stream writers and
should not rely on broad worker regexes or route-order fallthrough for correctness.
When explicit per-stream routing is missing, requests may be captured by generic, room, or client_reader workers, instead of:
- going to the configured stream writer
- or to `main` when that stream writer is not enabled
This refactors synapse-reverse-proxy-companion's routing so that web-facing stream-backed endpoint families
are handled explicitly and early, with deterministic writer-or-main fallback.
Add first-class support for the missing `device_lists` stream writer,
generalize the same routing model to `push_rules`,
and remove stale broad-route ownership for device-list-sensitive endpoints.
Add matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_tls_options_ca_certs_file
variable to allow specifying a custom CA certificate file for LDAP TLS
verification. Useful when Synapse is running in a container that does not
trust a private/internal CA by default.
Example usage:
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_tls_options_ca_certs_file: /etc/ssl/certs/my-ca.crt
The companion role was tightly coupled to Synapse through shared tags, worker routing, and lifecycle ordering. Keeping them separate added coordination overhead without practical benefits, especially for parallelized execution.
This merges the role into matrix-synapse while keeping companion logic organized under dedicated reverse_proxy_companion task/template subdirectories.
Compatibility is preserved:
- matrix_synapse_reverse_proxy_companion_* variable names remain unchanged
- install/setup companion-specific tags remain available
Cross-role/global wiring is now in group_vars (matrix-synapse section), while role defaults provide sensible standalone defaults and self-wiring for Synapse-owned values.
These three roles have multiple variable prefixes each:
- kakaotalk: matrix_appservice_kakaotalk + matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_node
- telegram: matrix_mautrix_telegram + matrix_mautrix_telegram_lottieconverter
- synapse: matrix_synapse + matrix_synapse_customized + matrix_synapse_rust_synapse_compress_state
For each: renamed _docker_image* to _container_image* (and _docker_src*,
_docker_repo* where applicable), added deprecation entries in
validate_config.yml, updated group_vars references, and moved
deprecation tasks to the front of validate_config.yml.

matrix_synapse_systemd_service_post_start_delay_seconds is assigned a string value, and setup fails while creating the service file. It is impossible to compare str and int.
After Synapse's systemd health check passes, Traefik still needs
providers.providersThrottleDuration to register routes. Derive the
post-start delay from this setting (+1s for healthcheck polling gap)
instead of using a hardcoded value. Defaults to 0 when no Traefik
reverse proxy is used.

Switch the systemd ExecStartPost health check from docker exec + curl
to polling docker inspect for container health status. This piggybacks
on the container image's built-in HEALTHCHECK instead of duplicating it.
Also add a configurable container health interval (5s for Traefik setups,
15s otherwise) to speed up startup readiness detection without affecting
non-Traefik deployments.

Previously, we had a 10-second magical delay.
Now we first do a healthcheck to figure out when it really is up.
Then, we do the same 10-second magical delay to account for the time it
may take for a reverse-proxy (like Traefik) to pick up Synapse's routes.
The migrate service now declares Requires/After on matrix-synapse.service,
ensuring Synapse (and its transitive dependencies like Postgres and Docker)
are running before the migration triggers.
This reverts commit c8c6a83ecc.
Synapse v1.142.0 is broken for Matrix Authentication Service deployments
that use a path-prefix (e.g. `/auth`) such as ours.
For such deployments, Synapse fails to contact MAS at the correct
introspection endpoint (it keeps hitting `/oauth2/introspect`, instead of `/auth/oauth2/introspect`)
and is not usable.
