The startup issue came from a timing dependency around coturn TLS certs:
- `matrix-coturn.service` depends on
`matrix-traefik-certs-dumper-wait-for-domain@<matrix-fqdn>.service`
- That waiter succeeds only after Traefik has obtained and dumped a cert for
the Matrix hostname (typically driven by homeserver labels/routes becoming
active)
- If coturn is started too early, it can block/fail waiting for cert files
that are not yet present
Historically, coturn priority was mode-dependent:
- `one-by-one`: coturn at 1500 (delayed after homeserver)
- other modes: coturn at 900 (before homeserver)
This could still trigger undesirable startup ordering and confusing behavior
in non-`one-by-one` modes, especially during initial bootstrap/restart flows
where cert availability lags service startup.
This change makes ordering explicit and consistent:
1. Introduce `matrix_homeserver_systemd_service_manager_priority` (default 1000)
in `roles/custom/matrix-base/defaults/main.yml`.
2. Use that variable for the homeserver service entry in
`group_vars/matrix_servers`.
3. Set coturn priority relative to homeserver priority in all modes:
`matrix_homeserver_systemd_service_manager_priority + 500`.
4. Update inline documentation comments in `group_vars/matrix_servers` to
match the new behavior and rationale.
Result:
- Homeserver/coturn ordering is deterministic and mode-agnostic.
- Coturn is intentionally started later than the homeserver by default,
reducing first-start certificate wait/fail races.
- Priority intent is now centralized and configurable via a dedicated
homeserver priority variable.
- Coturn may still be stated earlier, because the homeserver typically
has a `Wants` "dependency" on it, but that's alright
Users reported that /.well-known/matrix/* stopped being served after the image bump to static-web-server v2.41.0.
Regression introduced by commit 32aeaca28b in PR #4951: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/4951
Root cause: upstream changed hidden-file handling defaults, so paths under /.well-known were treated as hidden and no longer served by default.
Fix by explicitly configuring SERVER_IGNORE_HIDDEN_FILES=false in the matrix-static-files role and rendering it as a JSON boolean in the env template, making behavior stable across upstream default changes.
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.

The previous depName (forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/-/packages/container/continuwuity/)
was a Forgejo web UI path, not the Docker image name. Renovate's docker datasource
needs the image name as used in `docker pull`.

Add matrix_continuwuity_version with container_image_tag inheriting from it.
Rename all _docker_image* variables to _container_image* with deprecation notices.

Add change-tracking and restart_necessary computation for:
- matrix-authentication-service (custom role in this repo)
- container-socket-proxy, traefik-certs-dumper, postgres, exim-relay,
cinny, livekit-server (external roles, bumped in requirements.yml)
Wire all 7 services in group_vars to use their _restart_necessary variable
instead of hardcoded true.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Track config/image/systemd changes via register: directives and compute
a _restart_necessary variable for each service role, allowing the
systemd_service_manager to skip unnecessary restarts during install-* runs.
Covers 22 service roles: alertmanager-receiver, appservice-draupnir-for-all,
bridge-mautrix-wsproxy (+ syncproxy), cactus-comments, cactus-comments-client,
corporal, element-admin, ldap-registration-proxy, livekit-jwt-service, matrixto,
pantalaimon, prometheus-nginxlog-exporter, rageshake, registration, static-files,
sygnal, synapse-admin, synapse-auto-compressor, synapse-reverse-proxy-companion,
synapse-usage-exporter, and user-verification-service.

For each of the 34 roles (3 clients, 9 bots, 22 bridges), this commit:
- Adds `_restart_necessary: false` default variable
- Adds `register:` directives to config/image/systemd tasks
- Computes `_restart_necessary` via set_fact (OR of all .changed results)
- Wires `(_restart_necessary | bool)` in group_vars/matrix_servers
This allows the systemd service manager to skip unnecessary restarts
when running install-* tags and nothing actually changed.
Service roles and complex multi-service roles will follow separately.

These variables track whether a database migration necessitates a service
restart. The new name avoids confusion with the conditional restart
feature introduced in af193043/9accc848/4a8df138, where
devture_systemd_service_manager handles restarting services whose
configuration or image changed. The old _requires_restart name was
ambiguous — it could be mistaken for the systemd_service_manager
mechanism — so _migration_requires_restart makes the purpose explicit.

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.
Commit 593b3157b ("Fix systemd service Wants for mjolnir and draupnir")
accidentally swapped the variable loops: `systemd_wanted_services_list`
ended up generating `Requires=`/`After=` directives and
`systemd_required_services_list` ended up generating `Wants=` directives —
the opposite of what the variable names mean and how every other
bot/bridge service template in the playbook works.
This caused these bots to only `Wants=` (not `Requires=`/`After=`) their
dependencies like matrix-traefik.service, so systemd didn't guarantee
ordering. During all-at-once restarts, the bots would start before traefik
was ready, fail with DNS resolution errors, and crash.

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.
