Slavi Pantaleev eb08e20418 Upgrade Synapse (0.99.0 -> 0.99.1) and sync config
`matrix_synapse_no_tls` is now implicit, so we've gotten rid of it.

The `homeserver.yaml.j2` template has been synchronized with the
configuration generated by Synapse v0.99.1 (some new options
are present, etc.)

Slavi Pantaleev 42c4de348c Revert "Bind metrics on :: too"
This reverts commit 536c85619f.

Looks like binding metrics on IPv6 (`::`) fails with an error:

socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name does not resolve
2019-02-09 13:21:18 +02:00
Slavi Pantaleev 536c85619f Bind metrics on :: too
For consistency with all our other listeners,
we make this one bind on the `::` address too
(both IPv4 and IPv6).

Additional details are in #91 (Github Pull Request).

Turn off IPv6 when using your own Nginx server
Docker apparently doesn't like IPv6.

Slavi Pantaleev 316d653d3e Drop capabilities in containers
We run containers as a non-root user (no effective capabilities).

Still, if a setuid binary is available in a container image, it could
potentially be used to give the user the default capabilities that the
container was started with. For Docker, the default set currently is:
- "CAP_CHOWN"
- "CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE"
- "CAP_FSETID"
- "CAP_FOWNER"
- "CAP_MKNOD"
- "CAP_NET_RAW"
- "CAP_SETGID"
- "CAP_SETUID"
- "CAP_SETFCAP"
- "CAP_SETPCAP"
- "CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE"
- "CAP_SYS_CHROOT"
- "CAP_KILL"
- "CAP_AUDIT_WRITE"

We'd rather prevent such a potential escalation by dropping ALL
capabilities.

The problem is nicely explained here: https://github.com/projectatomic/atomic-site/issues/203

Slavi Pantaleev 299a8c4c7c Make (most) containers start as non-root
This makes all containers (except mautrix-telegram and
mautrix-whatsapp), start as a non-root user.

We do this, because we don't trust some of the images.
In any case, we'd rather not trust ALL images and avoid giving
`root` access at all. We can't be sure they would drop privileges
or what they might do before they do it.

Because Postfix doesn't support running as non-root,
it had to be replaced by an Exim mail server.

The matrix-nginx-proxy nginx container image is patched up
(by replacing its main configuration) so that it can work as non-root.
It seems like there's no other good image that we can use and that is up-to-date
(https://hub.docker.com/r/nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged is outdated).

Likewise for riot-web (https://hub.docker.com/r/bubuntux/riot-web/),
we patch it up ourselves when starting (replacing the main nginx
configuration).
Ideally, it would be fixed upstream so we can simplify.

Slavi Pantaleev 56d501679d Be explicit about the UID/GID we start Synapse with
We do match the defaults anyway (by default that is),
but people can customize `matrix_user_uid` and `matrix_user_uid`
and it wouldn't be correct then.

In any case, it's better to be explicit about such an important thing.

Slavi Pantaleev c10182e5a6 Make roles more independent of one another
With this change, the following roles are now only dependent
on the minimal `matrix-base` role:
- `matrix-corporal`
- `matrix-coturn`
- `matrix-mailer`
- `matrix-mxisd`
- `matrix-postgres`
- `matrix-riot-web`
- `matrix-synapse`

The `matrix-nginx-proxy` role still does too much and remains
dependent on the others.

Wiring up the various (now-independent) roles happens
via a glue variables file (`group_vars/matrix-servers`).
It's triggered for all hosts in the `matrix-servers` group.

According to Ansible's rules of priority, we have the following
chain of inclusion/overriding now:
- role defaults (mostly empty or good for independent usage)
- playbook glue variables (`group_vars/matrix-servers`)
- inventory host variables (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>`)

All roles default to enabling their main component
(e.g. `matrix_mxisd_enabled: true`, `matrix_riot_web_enabled: true`).
Reasoning: if a role is included in a playbook (especially separately,
in another playbook), it should "work" by default.

Our playbook disables some of those if they are not generally useful
(e.g. `matrix_corporal_enabled: false`).

Slavi Pantaleev 294a5c9083 Fix YAML serialization of empty matrix_synapse_federation_domain_whitelist
We've previously changed a bunch of lists in `homeserver.yaml.j2`
to be serialized using `|to_nice_yaml`, as that generates a more
readable list in YAML.

`matrix_synapse_federation_domain_whitelist`, however, couldn't have
been changed to that, as it can potentially be an empty list.

We may be able to differentiate between empty and non-empty now
and serialize it accordingly (favoring `|to_nice_yaml` if non-empty),
but it's not important enough to be justified. Thus, always
serializing with `|to_json`.

Fixes #78 (Github issue)

Slavi Pantaleev 51312b8250 Split playbook into multiple roles
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.
