Slavi Pantaleev 76862f4f2a Suggest running start tag after janitor and Postgres vacuum
We do restart Synapse explicitly, but some other services
(bridges, matrix-corporal, ..) may not restart sometimes.

It's best to restart all services explicitly.

Slavi Pantaleev ef5e4ad061 Make Synapse not log to text files
Somewhat related to #213 (Github Pull Request).

We've been moving in the opposite direction for quite a long time.
All services should just leave logging to systemd's journald.

Slavi Pantaleev da6edc9cba Add support for disabling Synapse's local database for user auth
This is a new feature of Synapse v1.1.0.

Discussed in #145 (Github Pull Request).

Slavi Pantaleev 8529efcd1c Make Discord bridge configuration playbook-managed
Well, `config.yaml` has been playbook-managed for a long time.
It's now extended to match the default sample config of the Discord
bridge.

With this patch, we also make `registration.yaml` playbook-managed,
which leads us to consistency with all other bridges.

Along with that, we introduce `./config` and `./data` separation,
like we do for the other bridges.

Slavi Pantaleev 2e16257e50 Do not ask for _matrix._tcp SRV records anymore
With most people on Synapse v0.99+ and Synapse v1.0 now available,
we should no longer try to be backward compatible with Synapse 0.34,
because this just complicates the instructions for no good reason.

Slavi Pantaleev 8a7b3d5bd0
Make instructions simpler and safer
Changes to the original are:
- it tells people to stop and disable services, so that:
   - services won't be running while you are copying files
   - services won't accidentally start again later
- it does the file-copying in 1 step
- it does copying before running `--tags=setup-all`, so that existing files (SSL certificates, etc.) can be reused. Otherwise, the playbook starts from a blank slate, retrieves them anew, generates new signing keys anew, etc. Only to have those replaced by your own old backup later.
- it mentions DNS changes
- combines `--tags=setup-all,start` into a single step, thanks to the files being already copied

Slavi Pantaleev 70487061f4 Prefer --mount instead of -v for mounting volumes
This doesn't replace all usage of `-v`, but it's a start.

People sometimes troubleshoot by deleting files (especially bridge
config files). Restarting Synapse with a missing registration.yaml file
for a given bridge, causes the `-v
/something/registration.yaml:/something/registration.yaml:ro` option
to force-create `/something/registration.yaml` as a directory.

When a path that's provided to the `-v` option is missing, Docker
auto-creates that path as a directory.
This causes more breakage and confusion later on.

We'd rather fail, instead of magically creating directories.
Using `--mount`, instead of `-v` is the solution to this.

From Docker's documentation:

> When you use --mount with type=bind, the host-path must refer to an existing path on the host.
> The path will not be created for you and the service will fail with an error if the path does not exist.

Convert registering-users.md to use ``` syntax for code blocks
The bit about the matrix-make-user-admin script was messed up (it wasn't actually a code block so the "<username>" was hidden). For me at least it seems like the ``` syntax is much harder to accidentally mess up.

Slavi Pantaleev 9202b2b8d9 Ensure systemd services are running when doing --tags=start
Fixes #129 (Github Issue).

Unfortunately, we rely on `service_facts`, which is only available
in Ansible >= 2.5.

There's little reason to stick to an old version such as Ansible 2.4:
- some time has passed since we've raised version requirements - it's
time to move into the future (a little bit)
- we've recently (in 82b4640072) improved the way one can run
Ansible in a Docker container

From now on, Ansible >= 2.5 is required.

Slavi Pantaleev 82b4640072 Use a more suitable Docker image for running Ansible
Inspired by #128 (Github Issue), we've created a new Docker image
to replace https://hub.docker.com/r/qmxme/ansible

Adding dnspython or dig to `qmxme/ansible` doesn't seem like a good
idea (that might be accepted by them), given that it's specific to our
use case. That's why we'll be maintaining our own image from now on.

Borjan Tchakaloff cbd629e7ea Specify that cron is likely required on the server
When using Let's Encrypt SSL certificates, a cronjob is set up to
automatically renew them. Though it does require a `cron`-compatible
program on the server.

This fixes the error that is caused by the `/etc/cron.d` directory
not existing and the `ansible-cron` module trying to write out a
file there -- without checking if the directory exists first.
