Basically:
```yaml
- name: Prior to 2.13
debug:
msg: '[1] + {{ [2] }}'
- name: 2.13 and forward
debug:
msg: '{{ [1] + [2] }}'
```
Interestingly, we had been using the new/safe syntax in lofs of places.
We were using the broken one in many others though. Hopefully all
instances were fixed by this patch.
People often report and ask about these "failures".
More-so previously, when the `docker kill/rm` output was collected,
but it still happens now when people do `systemctl status
matrix-something` and notice that it says "FAILURE".
Suppressing to avoid further time being wasted on saying "this is
expected".
The `to_nice_yaml` helper will by default wrap any string YAML values on
the first space after column 80. This can in worst case yield invalid
YAML syntax. More details in Ansible's documentation here:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_filters.html#formatting-data-yaml-and-json
In short, you need to explicitly provide a custom width argument of a
high number of some kind to avoid the line wrapping.

I haven't really traced it (yet), but on some servers, I'm observing
`ansible-playbook ... --tags=start` completing very slowly, waiting
to stop services. I can't reproduce this on all Matrix servers I manage.
I suspect that either the systemd version is to blame or that some
specific service is not responding well to some `docker kill/rm` command.
`ExecStop` seems to work great in all cases and it's what we've been
using for a very long time, so I'm reverting to that.

It is unclear to me if there is anything you actually need to adjust with these variables. It looks like that is done automatically in `matrix_servers`.
Until now, we were leaving services "enabled"
(symlinks in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/).
We clean these up now. Broken symlinks may still exist in older
installations that enabled/disabled services. We're not taking care
to fix these up. It's just a cosmetic defect anyway.
Fixes a regression introduced in f6097fbba1, which was cauing Synapse
to die with this error message:
> ValueError: sender_localpart needs characters which are not URL encoded.
These are just defensive cleanup tasks that we run.
In the good case, there's nothing to kill or remove, so they trigger an
error like this:
> Error response from daemon: Cannot kill container: something: No such container: something
and:
> Error: No such container: something
People often ask us if this is a problem, so instead of always having to
answer with "no, this is to be expected", we'd rather eliminate it now
and make logs cleaner.
In the event that:
- a container is really stuck and needs cleanup using kill/rm
- and cleanup fails, and we fail to report it because of error
suppression (`2>/dev/null`)
.. we'd still get an error when launching ("container name already in use .."),
so it shouldn't be too hard to investigate.
I was thinking that it makes sense to be more specific,
and using `_postgres_` also separated these variables
from the `_database_` variables that ended up in bridge configuration.
However, @jdreichmann makes a good point
(https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/740#discussion_r542281102)
that we don't need to be so specific and can allow for other engines (like MySQL) to use these variables.
If a service is enabled, a database for it is created in postgres with a uniqque password. The service can then use this database for data storage instead of relying on sqlite.
The Docker 19.04 -> 20.10 upgrade contains the following change
in `/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service`:
```
-BindsTo=containerd.service
-After=network-online.target firewalld.service containerd.service
+After=network-online.target firewalld.service containerd.service multi-user.target
-Requires=docker.socket
+Requires=docker.socket containerd.service
Wants=network-online.target
```
The `multi-user.target` requirement in `After` seems to be in conflict
with our `WantedBy=multi-user.target` and `After=docker.service` /
`Requires=docker.service` definitions, causing the following error on
startup for all of our systemd services:
> Job matrix-synapse.service/start deleted to break ordering cycle starting with multi-user.target/start
A workaround which appears to work is to add `DefaultDependencies=no`
to all of our services.
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.
