As suggested in #65 (Github issue), this patch switches
cronjob management from using templates to using Ansible's `cron` module.
It also moves the management of the nginx-reload cronjob to `setup_ssl_lets_encrypt.yml`,
which is a more fitting place for it (given that this cronjob is only required when
Let's Encrypt is used).
Pros:
- using a module is more Ansible-ish than templating our own files in
special directories
- more reliable: will fail early (during playbook execution) if `/usr/bin/crontab`
is not available, which is more of a guarantee that cron is working fine
(idea: we should probably install some cron package using the playbook)
Cons:
- invocation schedule is no longer configurable, unless we define individual
variables for everything or do something smart (splitting on ' ', etc.).
Likely not necessary, however.
- requires us to deprecate and clean-up after the old way of managing cronjobs,
because it's not compatible (using the same file as before means appending
additional jobs to it)
Adds support for managing certificates manually and for
having the playbook generate self-signed certificates for you.
With this, Let's Encrypt usage is no longer required.
Fixes Github issue #50.
Pretty much all variables live in their own `matrix_<whatever>`
prefix now and are grouped closer together in the default
variables file (`roles/matrix-server/defaults/main.yml`).
Moving away from using the default bridge network to using our own.
This isolates our services from other Docker containers running
on the default network on the same host.
The benefits are that:
- isolation is a little better - we no longer share a default
bridge network with any other containers that might be running on the host
- there are no longer hard dependencies - we do service discovery
by DNS name, and not via explicit `--link` usage during container start,
so containers can start out of order and fail without bringing down others
with them
(`matrix-nginx-proxy` can continue running, even if one of the other services dies)
In the future, when other services get introduced,
the increased resilience and simplicity will help as well.
This playbook just tries to avoid trying to setup a Postgres 10
database with existing 9.x files, as that makes Postgres complain.
Due to this, existing installs (still on 9.x) are detected
and left on Postgres 9.x.
They need to be upgraded to Postgres 10.x manually.
It was trying to omit the `-a` flag, but that wasn't enough,
because the underlying `register_new_matrix_user` command
prompts interactively if it doesn't see the `-a` flag
(it doesn't default to non-admin).
We need to answer such interactive prompts.
