gzipping certain responses is known to cause problems with QR code logins.
Fixes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/3749
Gzipping at the synapse-reverse-proxy-companion level and not at the
level of the outer-most reverse-proxy (Traefik) also sounds non-ideal.
This change only affects setups powered by Synapse workers.
Non-worker setups (and setups powered by other homeservers) were not
having their requests go through synapse-reverse-proxy-companion anyway,
so this change does not affect them.
Future patches may enable response compression support at the Traefik level for
all setups.

With this change, it should be possible for people to adjust the Docker
dependency from `docker.service` to something else (e.g. `pkg-ContainerManager-dockerd.service`),
or to completely eliminate it by setting `devture_systemd_docker_base_docker_service_name` to an empty string.
This makes it easier for people to use the playbook against a Synology DSM server.

Add setting to enable ipv6
We noticed that the reporting function in Element is broken, at least when using the 'specialized-workers' preset.
This changes the `main_override_locations_regex` of the reverse proxy companion to ensure that requests to `/_matrix/client/v3/rooms/<roomid>/report/<message>` always land on the main process.
After some checking, it seems like there's `/_synapse/client/oidc`,
but no such thing as `/_synapse/oidc`.
I'm not sure why we've been reverse-proxying these paths for so long
(even in as far back as the `matrix-nginx-proxy` days), but it's time we
put a stop to it.
The OIDC docs have been simplified. There's no need to ask people to
expose the useless `/_synapse/oidc` endpoint. OIDC requires
`/_synapse/client/oidc` and `/_synapse/client` is exposed by default
already.
Issues and Pull Requests were not migrated to the new
organization/repository, so `matrix-org/synapse/pull` and
`matrix-org/synapse/issues` references were kept as-is.
`matrix-org/synapse-s3-storage-provider` references were also kept,
as that module still continues living under the `matrix-org` organization.
This patch mainly aims to change documentation-related things, not actual
usage in full yet. For polish that, another more comprehensive patch is coming later.
This moves the comments from being just in Jinja,
to actually ending up in the generated `labels` file,
which makes inspection of the final result easier.
Also, some new lines were added here and there to make labels
more legible.
The generated file may still include weird new-lines due to
various `if` statements yielding content or not, but that's not so ugly
anymore - now that we have proper start/end sections that are visible in
the final `labels` file.
This was meant to serve as an intermediary for services needing to reach
the homeserver. It was used like that for a while in this
`bye-bye-nginx-proxy` branch, but was never actually public.
It has recently been superseded by homeserver-like services injecting
themselves into a new internal Traefik entrypoint
(see `matrix_playbook_internal_matrix_client_api_traefik_entrypoint_*`),
so `matrix-homeserver-proxy` is no longer necessary.
---
This is probably a good moment to share some benchmarks and reasons
for going with the internal Traefik entrypoint as opposed to this nginx
service.
1. (1400 rps) Directly to Synapse (`ab -n 1000 -c 100 http://matrix-synapse:8008/_matrix/client/versions`
2. (~900 rps) Via `matrix-homeserver-proxy` (nginx) proxying to Synapse (`ab -n 1000 -c 100 http://matrix-homeserver-proxy:8008/_matrix/client/versions`)
3. (~1200 rps) Via the new internal entrypoint of Traefik (`matrix-internal-matrix-client-api`) proxying to Synapse (`ab -n 1000 -c 100 http://matrix-traefik:8008/_matrix/client/versions`)
Besides Traefik being quicker for some reason, there are also other
benefits to not having this `matrix-homeserver-proxy` component:
- we can reuse what we have in terms of labels. Services can register a few extra labels on the new Traefik entrypoint
- we don't need services (like `matrix-media-repo`) to inject custom nginx configs into `matrix-homeserver-proxy`. They just need to register labels, like they do already.
- Traefik seems faster than nginx on this benchmark for some reason, which is a nice bonus
- no need to run one extra container (`matrix-homeserver-proxy`) and execute one extra Ansible role
- no need to maintain a setup where some people run the `matrix-homeserver-proxy` component (because they have route-stealing services like `matrix-media-repo` enabled) and others run an optimized setup without this component and everything needs to be rewired to talk to the homeserver directly. Now, everyone can go through Traefik and we can all run an identical setup
Downsides of the new Traefik entrypoint setup are that:
- all addon services that need to talk to the homeserver now depend on Traefik
- people running their own Traefik setup will be inconvenienced - they
need to manage one additional entrypoint
We'd be adding integration with an internal Traefik entrypoint
(`matrix_playbook_internal_matrix_client_api_traefik_entrypoint`),
so renaming helps disambiguate things.
There's no need for deperecation tasks, because the old names
have only been part of this `bye-bye-nginx-proxy` branch and not used by
anyone publicly.
This also updates validation tasks and documentation, pointing to
variables in the matrix-synapse role which don't currently exist yet
(e.g. `matrix_synapse_container_labels_client_synapse_admin_api_enabled`).
These variables will be added soon, as Traefik labels are added to the
`matrix-synapse` role. At that point, the `matrix-synapse-reverse-proxy-companion` role
will be updated to also use them.
