v1.50.0 was found to be buggy for people using a `webclient` listener.
This is fixed in v1.50.1.
We don't use such a listener, so we weren't affected anyway.
This upgrade is technically not needed due to 1.49.1 and 1.49.2 being identical with a lone fix to Debian packaging being the only change.
Still some might want us to be on the absolutely latest version even tho these 2 are practically identical.
ARM64 has yet to be built so this has to wait for that before merge.

Getting an upstream fix is preferable. In any case, it's probably nice
to have this defined explicitly in our configuration. This way, people
can more easily discover that they can override the URL preview
language.
We had to remove UID/GID environment variables that we used to pass
to the Synapse container, because it was causing a problem after
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/11209
We were using both `--user` and UID/GID environment variables until now.
This give us the possibility to run multiple instances of
workers that that don't expose a port.
Right now, we don't support that, but in the future we could
run multiple `federation_sender` or `pusher` workers, without
them fighting over naming (previously, they'd all be named
something like `matrix-synapse-worker-pusher-0`, because
they'd all define `port` as `0`).
This leads to much easier management and potential safety
features (validation). In the future, we could try to avoid port
conflicts as well, but it didn't seem worth the effort to do it now.
Our port ranges seem large enough.
This can also pave the way for a "presets" feature
(similar to `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_presets`) which makes it even easier
for people to configure worker counts.
There was a `matrix_nginx_proxy_enabled|default(False)` check, but:
- it didn't seem to work reliably for some reason (hmm)
- referring to a `matrix_nginx_proxy_*` variable from within the
`matrix-synapse` role is not ideal
- exposing always happened on `127.0.0.1`, which may not be good enough
for some rarer setups (where the own webserver is external to the host)
In short, this makes Synapse a 2nd class citizen,
preparing for a future where it's just one-of-many homeserver software
options.
We also no longer have a default Postgres superuser password,
which improves security.
The changelog explains more as to why this was done
and how to proceed from here.
ma1sd requires the openid endpoints for certain functionality.
Example: 90b2b5301c/src/main/java/io/kamax/mxisd/auth/AccountManager.java (L67-L99)
If federation is disabled, we still need to expose these openid APIs on the
federation port.
Previously, we were doing similar magic for Dimension.
As per its documentation, when running unfederated, one is to enable
the openid listener as well. As per their recommendation, people
are advised to do enable it on the Client-Server API port
and use the `federationUrl` variable to override where the federation
port is (making federation requests go to the Client-Server API).
Because ma1sd always uses the federation port (unless you do some
DNS overwriting magic using its configuration -- which we'd rather not
do), it's better if we just default to putting the `openid` listener
where it belongs - on the federation port.
With this commit, we retain the "automatically enable openid APIs" thing
we've been doing for Dimension, but move it to the federation port instead.
We also now do the same thing when ma1sd is enabled.
Fixes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/716
This patch makes us use more fully-qualified container image names
(either prefixed with docker.io/ or with localhost/).
The latter happens when self-building is enabled.
We've recently had issues where if an image was removed manually
and the service was restarted (making `docker run` fetch it from Docker Hub, etc.),
we'd end up with a pulled image, even though we're aiming for a self-built one.
Re-running the playbook would then not do a rebuild, because:
- the image with that name already exists (even though it's something
else)
- we sometimes had conditional logic where we'd build only if the git
repo changed
By explicitly changing the name of the images (prefixing with localhost/),
we avoid such confusion and the possibility that we'd automatically pul something
which is not what we expect.
Also, I've removed that condition where building would happen on git
changes only. We now always build (unless an image with that name
already exists). We just force-build when the git repo changes.
