I had intentionally held it back in 39ea3496a4
until:
- it received more testing (there were a few bugs during the
migration, but now it seems OK)
- this migration guide was written
While administering we will occasionally invoke this script interactively with the "non-interactive" switch still there, yet still sit at the desk waiting for 300 seconds for this timer to run out.
The systemd-timer already uses a 3h randomized delay for automatic renewals, which serves this purpose well.
The `mobile` branch got merged to `master`, which ends up becoming
`:latest`. It's a "rewrite" of the bridge's backend and only
supports a Postgres database.
We'd like to go back (well, forward) to `:latest`, but that will take
a little longer, because:
- we need to handle and document things for people still on SQLite
(especially those with external Postgres, who are likely on SQLite for
bridges)
- I'd rather test the new builds (and migration) a bit before
releasing it to others and possibly breaking their bridge
Brave ones who are already using the bridge with Postgres
can jump on `:latest` and report their experience.

I feel like timers are somewhat more complicated and dirty (compared to
cronjobs), but they come with these benefits:
- log output goes to journald
- on newer systemd distros, you can see when the timer fired, when it
will fire, etc.
- we don't need to rely on cron (reducing our dependencies to just
systemd + Docker)
Cronjobs work well, but it's one more dependency that needs to be
installed. We were even asking people to install it manually
(in `docs/prerequisites.md`), which could have gone unnoticed.
Once in a while someone says "my SSL certificates didn't renew"
and it's likely because they forgot to install a cron daemon.
Switching to systemd timers means that installation is simpler
and more unified.
This reverts commit 2a25b63bb6.
Looking at other roles, we trigger building regardless of this.
It's better to always trigger it, because it's less fragile.
If the build fails and we only trigger it on "git changes"
then we won't trigger it for a while. That's not good.
Triggering it each and every time may seem like a waste,
but it supposedly runs quickly due to Docker caching.
This variable has been useless since 2019-01-08.
We probably don't need to check for its usage anymore,
given how much time has passed since then, but ..
Before we potentially clone to that path, we'd better make sure it exists.
We also simplify `when` statements a bit.
Given that we're in `setup_install.yml`, we know that the bridge is enabled,
so there's no need to check for that.
Not sure if it breaks with them or not, but no other directive
uses quotes and the nginx docs show examples without quotes,
so we're being consistent with all of that.
The different configurations are now all lower case, for consistent
naming.
`matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_config` is now called
`matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_preset`. The different options for "modern",
"intermediate" and "old" are stored in the main.yml file, instead of
being hardcoded in the configuration files. This will improve the
maintainability of the code.
The "custom" preset was removed. Now if one of the variables is set, it
will use it instead of the preset. This will allow to mix and match more
easily, for example using all the intermediate options but only
supporting TLSv1.2. This will also provide better backward
compatibility.
While it's kind of nice having it, it's also somewhat raw
and unnecessary.
Having a good default and not even mentioning it seems better
for most users.
People who need a more exposed bridge (rare) can use
override the default configuration using
`matrix_mautrix_signal_configuration_extension_yaml`.
The answer to these is: it's good to have them in both places.
The role defines the obvious things it depends on (not knowing
what setup it will find itself into), and then
`group_vars/matrix_servers` "extends" it based on everything else it
knows (the homeserver being Synapse, whether or not the internal
Postgres server is being used, etc.)
We need to suppress systemd service-stopping requests in certain rare
cases like https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/771
That issue seems to describe a case, where a migration from mxisd to
ma1sd was happening (DB files had just been moved), and then we were
attemping to stop `matrix-ma1sd.service` so we could import that database into
Postgres. However, there's neither `matrix-mxisd.service`, nor
`matrix-ma1sd.service` after `migrate_mxisd.yml` had just run, so
stopping `matrix-ma1sd.service` was failing.
Fixes a problem like this:
> File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mautrix/bridge/e2ee.py", line 79, in __init__
> raise RuntimeError("Unsupported database scheme")
mautrix-python's e2ee.py module expects to find `postgres://` instead of
`postgresql://`.
Our old (base-path -> data-path) SQLite migration can't work otherwise.
It's probably not necessary to keep it anymore, but since we still do,
at least we should take care to ensure it works.
Raspbian doesn't seem to support arm64, so this is somewhat pointless
right now.
However, they might in the future. Doing this should also unify us
some more with `setup_debian.yml` with the ultimate goal of
eliminating `setup_raspbian.yml`.
Until now, we've only supported non-amd64 on Raspbian.
Seems like there are now people running Debian/Ubuntu on ARM,
so we were forcing them into amd64 Docker packages.
I've gotten a report that this change fixes support
for Ubuntu Server 20.04 on RPi 4B.
A new variable called `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_config` is created for
configuring how the nginx proxy configures SSL. Also a new configuration
validation option and other auxiliary variables are created.
A new variable configuration called `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_config` is
created. This allow to set the SSL configuration easily using the
default options proposed by Mozilla. The default configuration is set to
"Intermediate", removing the weak ciphers used in the old
configurations.
The new variable can also be set to "Custom" for a more granular control.
This allows to set another three variables called:
- `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_protocols`,
- `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_prefer_server_ciphers`
- `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_ciphers`
Also a new task is added to validate the SSL configuration variable.
Revert "Correct inabillity for appservice-discord to connect"
This reverts commit 673e19f830.
While certain things do work even with such a local URL, sending
messages leads to an error like this:
> [DiscordBot] verbose: DiscordAPIError: Invalid Form Body
> avatar_url: Not a well formed URL.
Fixes https://github.com/Half-Shot/matrix-appservice-discord/issues/649
The sample configuration file for appservice-discord
c29cfc72f5/config/config.sample.yaml (L8)
explicitly says that we need a public URL.
