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.
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.
We log to journald anyway. There's no need for double-logging.
It should not that matrix-synapse logs to journald and to files,
but that's likely to change in the future as well.
Because Synapse's logs are insanely verbose right now (and may get
dropped by journald), it's more reliable to have file-logging too.
As Synapse matures and gets more stable, logging should hopefully
get less, we should be able to only use journald and stop writing to
files for it as well.
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).
As suggested in #63 (Github issue), splitting the
playbook's logic into multiple roles will be beneficial for
maintainability.
This patch realizes this split. Still, some components
affect others, so the roles are not really independent of one
another. For example:
- disabling mxisd (`matrix_mxisd_enabled: false`), causes Synapse
and riot-web to reconfigure themselves with other (public)
Identity servers.
- enabling matrix-corporal (`matrix_corporal_enabled: true`) affects
how reverse-proxying (by `matrix-nginx-proxy`) is done, in order to
put matrix-corporal's gateway server in front of Synapse
We may be able to move away from such dependencies in the future,
at the expense of a more complicated manual configuration, but
it's probably not worth sacrificing the convenience we have now.
As part of this work, the way we do "start components" has been
redone now to use a loop, as suggested in #65 (Github issue).
This should make restarting faster and more reliable.
