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.
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.
The Docker 19.04 -> 20.10 upgrade contains the following change
in `/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service`:
```
-BindsTo=containerd.service
-After=network-online.target firewalld.service containerd.service
+After=network-online.target firewalld.service containerd.service multi-user.target
-Requires=docker.socket
+Requires=docker.socket containerd.service
Wants=network-online.target
```
The `multi-user.target` requirement in `After` seems to be in conflict
with our `WantedBy=multi-user.target` and `After=docker.service` /
`Requires=docker.service` definitions, causing the following error on
startup for all of our systemd services:
> Job matrix-synapse.service/start deleted to break ordering cycle starting with multi-user.target/start
A workaround which appears to work is to add `DefaultDependencies=no`
to all of our services.
Since the switch from `-v` to `--mount` (in 1fca917ad1),
we've regressed when `matrix_ssl_retrieval_method == 'none'`.
In such a case, we don't create `/matrix/ssl` directories at all
and shouldn't be trying to mount them into the `matrix-nginx-proxy`
container.
Previously, with `-v`, Docker would auto-create them, effectively hiding
our mistake. Now that `--mount` doesn't do such auto-creation magic,
the `matrix-nginx-proxy` container was failing to start.
Fixes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/734
`-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
Longview
(https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/longview/longview-app-for-nginx/)
We recently had someone in the support room who set it to `false`
and the playbook ran without any issues.
This currently seems to yield the same result as 'none', but it's
better to avoid such behavior.
We do use some `:latest` images by default for the following services:
- matrix-dimension
- Goofys (in the matrix-synapse role)
- matrix-bridge-appservice-irc
- matrix-bridge-appservice-discord
- matrix-bridge-mautrix-facebook
- matrix-bridge-mautrix-whatsapp
It's terribly unfortunate that those software projects don't release
anything other than `:latest`, but that's how it is for now.
Updating that software requires that users manually do `docker pull`
on the server. The playbook didn't force-repull images that it already
had.
With this patch, it starts doing so. Any image tagged `:latest` will be
force re-pulled by the playbook every time it's executed.
It should be noted that even though we ask the `docker_image` module to
force-pull, it only reports "changed" when it actually pulls something
new. This is nice, because it lets people know exactly when something
gets updated, as opposed to giving the indication that it's always
updating the images (even though it isn't).
While using certbot means we'll have both files retrieved,
it's actually the fullchain.pem file that we use in nginx configuration.
Using that one for the check makes more sense.
Reasoning is the same as for matrix-org/synapse#5023.
For us, the journal used to contain `docker` for all services, which
is not very helpful when looking at them all together (`journalctl -f`).
As discussed in #151 (Github Pull Request), it's
a good idea to not selectively apply casting, but to do it in all
cases involving arithmetic operations.
Previously, we'd show an error like this:
{"changed": false, "item": null, "msg": "Detected an undefined required variable"}
.. which didn't mention the variable name
(`matrix_ssl_lets_encrypt_support_email`).
Use an int conversion in the computation of the value of
matrix_nginx_proxy_tmp_directory_size_mb, to have the integer value
multiplied by 50 instead of having the string repeated 50 times.
It doesn't hurt to attempt renewal more frequently, as it only does
real work if it's actually necessary.
Reloading, we postpone some more, because certbot adds some random delay
(between 1 and 8 * 60 seconds) when renewing. We want to ensure
we reload at least 8 minutes later, which wasn't the case.
To make it even safer (in case future certbot versions use a longer
delay), we reload a whole hour later. We're in no rush to start using
the new certificates anyway, especially given that we attempt renewal
often.
Somewhat fixes#146 (Github Issue)
In most cases, there's not really a need to touch the system
firewall, as Docker manages iptables by itself
(see https://docs.docker.com/network/iptables/).
All ports exposed by Docker containers are automatically whitelisted
in iptables and wired to the correct container.
This made installing firewalld and whitelisting ports pointless,
as far as this playbook's services are concerned.
People that wish to install firewalld (for other reasons), can do so
manually from now on.
This is inspired by and fixes#97 (Github Issue).
By default, `--tags=self-check` no longer validates certificates
when `matrix_ssl_retrieval_method` is set to `self-signed`.
Besides this default, people can also enable/disable validation using the
individual role variables manually.
Fixes#124 (Github Issue)
Currently the nginx reload cron fails on Debian 9 because the path to
systemctl is /bin/systemctl rather than /usr/bin/systemctl.
CentOS 7 places systemctl in both /bin and /usr/bin, so we can just use
/bin/systemctl as the full path.
`matrix_nginx_proxy_data_path` has always served as a base path,
so we're renaming it to reflect that.
Along with this, we're also introducing a new "data path" variable
(`matrix_nginx_proxy_data_path`), which is really a data path this time.
It's used for storing additional, non-configuration, files related to
matrix-nginx-proxy.
