## The playbook now uses external roles for some things
**TLDR**: when updating the playbook and before running it, you'll need to run `make roles` to make [ansible-galaxy](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/cli/ansible-galaxy.html) download dependency roles (see the [`requirements.yml` file](requirements.yml)) to the `roles/galaxy` directory. Without this, the playbook won't work.
We're in the process of trimming the playbook and making it reuse Ansible roles.
Starting now, the playbook is composed of 2 types of Ansible roles:
- those that live within the playbook itself (`roles/custom/*`)
- those downloaded from other sources (using [ansible-galaxy](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/cli/ansible-galaxy.html) to `roles/galaxy`, based on the [`requirements.yml` file](requirements.yml)). These roles are maintained by us or by other people from the Ansible community.
We're doing this for greater code-reuse (across Ansible playbooks, including our own related playbooks [gitea-docker-ansible-deploy](https://github.com/spantaleev/gitea-docker-ansible-deploy) and [nextcloud-docker-ansible-deploy](https://github.com/spantaleev/nextcloud-docker-ansible-deploy)) and decreased maintenance burden. Until now, certain features were copy-pasted across playbooks or were maintained separately in each one, with improvements often falling behind. We've also tended to do too much by ourselves - installing Docker on the server from our `matrix-base` role, etc. - something that we'd rather not do anymore by switching to the [geerlingguy.docker](https://galaxy.ansible.com/geerlingguy/docker) role.
Some variable names will change during the transition to having more and more external (galaxy) roles. There's a new `custom/matrix_playbook_migration` role added to the playbook which will tell you about these changes each time you run the playbook.
From now on, every time you update the playbook (well, every time the `requirements.yml` file changes), it's best to run `make roles` to update the roles downloaded from other sources.
