Slavi Pantaleev ef68d3d296 Add support for reverse-proxying /_synapse/oidc
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.

Configure Nginx (optional, advanced)

By default, this playbook installs its own nginx webserver (in a Docker container) which listens on ports 80 and 443. If that's alright, you can skip this.

Using Nginx status

This will serve a statuspage to the hosting machine only. Useful for monitoring software like longview

matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_nginx_status_enabled: true

This will serve the status page under the following addresses:

  • http://matrix.DOMAIN/nginx_status (using HTTP)
  • https://matrix.DOMAIN/nginx_status (using HTTPS)

By default, if matrix_nginx_proxy_nginx_status_enabled is enabled, access to the status page would be allowed from the local IP address of the server. If you wish to allow access from other IP addresses, you can provide them as a list:

matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_nginx_status_allowed_addresses:
- 8.8.8.8
- 1.1.1.1

Synapse + OpenID Connect for Single-Sign-On

If you want to use OpenID Connect as an SSO provider (as per the Synapse OpenID docs), you need to use the following configuration (in your vars.yml file) to instruct nginx to forward /_synapse/oidc to Synapse:

matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_client_api_forwarded_location_synapse_oidc_api_enabled: true
