Depending on the distro, common commands like sleep and chown may either
be located in /bin or /usr/bin.
Systemd added path lookup to ExecStart in v239, allowing only the
command name to be put in unit files and not the full path as
historically required. At least Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is however still on
v237 so we should maintain portability for a while longer.
the current version fails the import, because the volume for the media is missing. It still fails if you have the optional shared secret password provider is enabled, so that might need another mount. Commenting out the password provider in the hoimeserver.yaml during the run works as well.
This flag is necessary for Ansible to ask for the sudo password when using the non-root option as documented in the `hosts` file. Otherwise, Ansible errors out with `missing sudo password`.
This is mostly here to guard against problems happening
due to server migration and doing `chown -R matrix:matrix /matrix`.
Normally, the file is owned by `1000:1000`, as expected.
If ownership changes, Dimension could still start, but it will fail the
first time it tries to write to the database. Explicitly chowning
before startup guards against this.

Dimension runs as the `node` user in the container (`1000:1000`).
It doesn't seem like we have a way around it. Thus, its configuration
must also be readable by that user (or group, in this case).
We don't really need to fail in such a spectactular way,
but it's probably good to do. It will only happen for people
who are defining their own user/group id, which is rare.
It seems like a good idea to tell them that this doesn't work
as they expect anymore and to ask them to remove these variables,
which otherwise give them a fake sense of hope.
Related to #486 (Github Pull Request).
If one runs the playbook with `--tags=setup-all`, it would have been
fine.
But running with a specific tag (e.g. `--tags=setup-riot-web`) would
have made that initialization be skipped, and the `matrix-riot-web` role
would fail, due to missing variables.
