Compression improvements

Shifted Matrix Synapse compression from happening in the Matrix Synapse, to happening in the nginx proxy that’s in front of it.

Additionally, riot-web also gets compressed now (in the nginx proxy), which drops the initial page load’s size from 5.31MB to 1.86MB.

Disabling some unnecessary Synapse services

The following services are not necessary, so they have been disabled:

on the federation port (8448): the client service
on the http port (80): the old Angular webclient and the federation service

Federation runs only on the federation port (8448) now. The Client APIs run only on the http port (80) now.

mxisd Identity Server support

The playbook now sets up an mxisd Identity Server for you by default. Additional details are available in Adjusting mxisd Identity Server configuration.

Email-sending support

The playbook now configures an email-sending service (postfix) by default. Additional details are available in Adjusting email-sending settings.

With this, Matrix Synapse is able to send email notifications for missed messages, etc.

(BC Break) Renaming playbook variables

The following playbook variables were renamed:

from matrix_max_upload_size_mb to matrix_synapse_max_upload_size_mb
from matrix_max_log_file_size_mb to matrix_synapse_max_log_file_size_mb
from matrix_max_log_files_count to matrix_synapse_max_log_files_count
from docker_matrix_image to matrix_docker_image_synapse
from docker_nginx_image to matrix_docker_image_nginx
from docker_riot_image to matrix_docker_image_riot
from docker_goofys_image to matrix_docker_image_goofys
from docker_coturn_image to matrix_docker_image_coturn

If you’re overriding any of them in your vars.yml file, you’d need to change to the new names.

Renaming Ansible playbook tag

The command for executing the whole playbook has changed. The setup-main tag got renamed to setup-all.

Docker container linking

Changed the way the Docker containers are linked together. The ones that need to communicate with others operate in a matrix network now and not in the default bridge network.
