To disable this role and install the necessary tools yourself, use `devture_docker_sdk_for_python_installation_enabled: false`. + +If you're hitting issues with Docker installation or Docker SDK for Python installation, consider reporting bugs or contributing to these other projects. + +These additional roles are downloaded into the playbook directory (to `roles/galaxy`) via an `ansible-galaxy ..` command. `make roles` is an easy shortcut for invoking the `ansible-galaxy` command to download these roles. + + # 2022-11-20 ## (Backward Compatibility Break) Changing how reverse-proxying to Synapse works - now via a `matrix-synapse-reverse-proxy-companion` service
