`-v` magically creates the source destination as a directory,
if it doesn't exist already. We'd like to avoid this magic
and the potential breakage that it might cause.
We'd rather fail while Docker tries to find things to `--mount`
than have it automatically create directories and fail anyway,
while having contaminated the filesystem.
There's a lot more `-v` instances remaining to be fixed later on.
This is just some start.
Things like `matrix_synapse_container_additional_volumes` and
`matrix_nginx_proxy_container_additional_volumes` were not changed to
use `--mount`, as options for each one are passed differently
(`ro` is `ro`, but `rw` doesn't exist and `slave` is `bind-propagation=slave`).
To avoid breaking people's custom volume mounts, we keep it as it is for now.
A deficiency with `--mount` is that it lacks the `z` option (SELinux
ownership changes), and some of our `-v` instances use that. I'm not
sure how supported SELinux is for us right now, but it might be,
and breaking that would not be a good idea.
We'd like the roles to be self-contained (as much as possible).
Thus, the `matrix-nginx-proxy` shouldn't reference any variables from
other roles. Instead, we rely on injection via
`group_vars/matrix_servers`.

This broke in 63a49bb2dc.
Proxying the OpenID Connect endpoints is now possible,
but needs to be enabled explicitly now.
Supersedes #702 (Github Pull Request).
This patch builds up on the idea from that Pull Request,
but does things in a cleaner way.
We do this to match Synapse's new default "max_upload_size" (50MB).
This `matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_client_api_client_max_body_size_mb`
default value only affects standalone usage of the `matrix-nginx-proxy`
role. When the role is used in the context of the playbook,
the value is dynamically assigned from `group_vars/matrix_servers`.
Somewhat related to #692 (Github Issue).
The regex introduced in 63a49bb2dc seems to take precedence
over the bare location blocks, causing a regression.
> It is important to understand that, by default, Nginx will serve regular expression matches in preference to prefix matches.
> However, it evaluates prefix locations first, allowing for the administer to override this tendency by specifying locations using the = and ^~ modifiers.

In #628 I proposed a CORS change that turns out not to be the root of the issue. Caffeine-addled diagnosis leads to sloppy thinking, and this change should be reverted. In fact, if left it will cause problems for new installations.
Even with the v2 updates listed in #503 and partially addressed in #614, this is still needed to enable identity services to function with Element Desktop/Web. Testing on multiple clients with a clean config has confirmed this, at least for my installation.
Fix regression since 2a50b8b6bb (#597).
Dimension is intended to be embedded in various clients,
be it the Element service that we host (at element.DOMAIN),
some other Element (element-desktop running locally), etc.
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.
· 😅 How to keep this in sync with the matrix-synapse documentation?
· regex location matching is expensive
· nginx syntax limit: one location only per block / statement
· thus, lots of duplicate statements in this file
Continuation of #234 (Github Pull Request).
I had unintentionally updated the documentation for the feature,
saying the page is available at `https://matrix.DOMAIN/nginx_status`.
Looks like it wasn't the case, going against my expectations.
I'm correcting this with this patch.
The status page is being made available on both HTTP and HTTPS.
Serving over HTTP is likely necessary for services like
