Adds support for: https://src.miscworks.net/fair/matrix-appservice-kakaotalk
This is pretty similar to
https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/1977
which just appeared, but has mostly been done independently.
I've taken some inspiration and did some fixups based on that PR.
Thanks to https://github.com/hnarjis for taking the time to contribute!
Notable differences between this branch compared to that PR:
- better naming and documentation around the "configuration" variables
- no unnecessary (5 sec.) intentional delay when starting `matrix-appservice-kakaotalk-node.service`
- stores configuration in `config/`, not in `data/`
- passes configuration as read-only and starts the bridge with (`--no-update`) to ensure no changes are made to it
- starts containers more securely - with `matrix:matrix` user:group (not `root`) and
reduced capabilities (`--cap-drop=ALL`)
- uses `tcp` for communication between the "node" and the appservice (simpler than sharing unix sockets)
- `registration.yaml` which is closer to the one generated by `matrix-appservice-kakaotalk` (no `de.sorunome.msc2409.push_ephemeral` stuff, etc.)
- `registration.yaml` which is more customizable (customizable bot username and prefix for puppets - see `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_appservice_bot_username` and `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_user_prefix`)
- less fragile and more extensible bridge permissions configuration via `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_bridge_permissions`. Doing `{% if matrix_admin %}` in the bridge configuration sometimes causes syntax problems (I hit some myself) and is not ideal. Other bridges should be redone as well.
- configurable command prefix for the bridge, instead of hardcoding `!kt` (see `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_command_prefix`)
- logging that is more consistent with the rest of the playbook (console / journald only, no logging to files), as well as configurable log level (via `matrix_appservice_kakaotalk_logging_level`)
- somewhat more detailed documentation (`docs/configuring-playbook-bridge-appservice-kakaotalk.md`)
- removed some dead code (data relocation tasks from `tasks/setup_install.yml`, as well as likely unnecessary SQLite -> Postgres migration)
Not doing {% if matrix_admin %} checks in the YAML also fixes some issues
with indentation being incorrect sometimes.
This should be backward compatible, except for mautrix-signal's case
where `matrix_mautrix_signal_bridge_permissions` previously existed
as a string, not a dictionary. `tasks/validate_config.yml` will catch
the problem an even provide a quick fix.

I had intentionally held it back in 39ea3496a4
until:
- it received more testing (there were a few bugs during the
migration, but now it seems OK)
- this migration guide was written
If a service is enabled, a database for it is created in postgres with a uniqque password. The service can then use this database for data storage instead of relying on sqlite.
Related to #193, but for the Facebook bridge.
(other bridges can be changed to do the same later).
This patch makes the bridge configuration entirely managed by the
Ansible playbook. The bridge's `config.yaml` and `registration.yaml`
configuration files are regenerated every time the playbook runs.
This allows us to apply updates to those files and to avoid
people having to manage the configuration files manually on the server.
-------------------------------------------------------------
A deficiency of the current approach to dumping YAML configuration in
`config.yaml` is that we strip all comments from it.
Later on, when the bridge actually starts, it will load and redump
(this time with comments), which will make the `config.yaml` file
change.
Subsequent playbook runs will report "changed" for the
"Ensure mautrix-facebook config.yaml installed" task, which is a little
strange.
We might wish to improve this in the future, if possible.
Still, it's better to have a (usually) somewhat meaningless "changed"
task than to what we had -- never rebuilding the configuration.
