Basically:
```yaml
- name: Prior to 2.13
debug:
msg: '[1] + {{ [2] }}'
- name: 2.13 and forward
debug:
msg: '{{ [1] + [2] }}'
```
Interestingly, we had been using the new/safe syntax in lofs of places.
We were using the broken one in many others though. Hopefully all
instances were fixed by this patch.

Looks like the bridge is too quick to start and fails to initialize
itself by connecting to Synapse. It's mostly observed after a system
reboot, because Synapse (and everything else) is slower to start.
Once mx-puppet-discord fails to initialize itself, a "No relay found"
error will be observed any time you try to relay a Matrix message to
Discord. Relaying messages in the other direction (Discord to Matrix)
also fails.
With this workaround (longer delay on mx-puppet-discord startup), I
observe mx-puppet-discord working well, even after a full reboot.
Of course, a proper fix is preferable, instead of delaying by a magic
number of seconds.
These endpoints should not be proxied to a generic Synapse worker
without other preparation (setting up stream writers, sending traffic
to a specific stream writer, etc.).
Disabling them for now. In the future, we'd like to fix up our awk
script to disable them automatically.
This is a fix up for 058fedff91
This prevented us from keeping our workers reverse-proxying definitions
updated since Synapse v1.54.0.
The last `workers.md` file we could parse is at commit
02632b3504ad4512c5f5a4f859b3fe326b19c788.
Parsing regressed at commit c56bfb08bc071368db23f3b1c593724eb4f205f0,
because the introduction message for `synapse.app.generic_worker` said
"If":
> If a worker is set up to handle a..
.. which made the AWK script think that definitions below were
conditional (which they're not in this case).
This patch fixes up the regex for determining if a line is conditional
or not, so that it doesn't trip up. Hopefully, it doesn't miss something
important.
When setting `matrix_nginx_proxy_enabled: false` and enabling authentication on the metrics endpoint, the htpasswd file is hardcoded to the nginx-proxy container dir, this changes the hardcoded value to a variable so the path can be updated

> Prior to 0.18.0 the signald container image used the root user, which is not recommended for security reasons. This was fixed in the 0.18.0 release which will start as root, fix permissions on the volume, then drop to the non-root user and start signald. Future images will start as the non-root user, so if you’re upgrading make sure to run 0.18.0 at least once.
> A special tag, 0.18.0-non-root, will be published. it starts as the non-root user and does not fix permissions on the volume.
* Add matrix-registration-bot
This adds an install and uninstall task plus helpers. The bot is disabled by default.
This commit does not include documentation, yet. In short, the bot can be enabled by adding
matrix_bot_matrix_registration_bot_enabled: true
matrix_bot_matrix_registration_bot_matrix_user_password: "verysecret"
matrix_bot_matrix_registration_bot_matrix_admin_token: "supersecret"
to the host_vars
* Change bot username to bot.matrix-registration-bot following convention
* Address smaller remarks, fix local docker build
* Switch to an env file
* Add environment variables extension for additional config
* Add documentation for the matrix-registration-bot
* Add screenshot on how to obtain admin access token
* Use bot as admin to only have one access token (bot and admin api)
* Use cleaner setting of matrix_synapse_registration_requires_token
* Use config file for cleaner more secure usage
* Delete unneeded env
* Rename vars to make usage clear
* Fix typos/wording and add notice about logging out
* Convert configuration to use |to_json
* Reorder role includes
Nothing should be after `matrix-common-after`.
`matrix-bot-matrix-registration-bot` can probably be anywhere, but it makes sense to put it next to the other `matrix-bot-*` roles.
* Minor group_vars/matrix_servers touchups

It is very confusing to debug why messages only go from Matrix to Slack
but not from Slack to Matrix. RTM should be enabled by default, as
that's the recommended way to make this work.
We no longer validate that there's an IP address defined.
Seems like Coturn can start without one as well, so there's no need to
require it.
If people populate `matrix_coturn_turn_external_ip_addresses` directly
to specify multiple addresses, they can leave
`matrix_coturn_turn_external_ip_address` empty.
We use the "select not equal to empty string" thing in the for loop
to avoid `matrix_coturn_turn_external_ip_address` leading to
`matrix_coturn_turn_external_ip_addresses: ['']` leading to
`external-ip=` in the Coturn configuration.

People often report and ask about these "failures".
More-so previously, when the `docker kill/rm` output was collected,
but it still happens now when people do `systemctl status
matrix-something` and notice that it says "FAILURE".
Suppressing to avoid further time being wasted on saying "this is
expected".
This switches the playbook from devture/rust-synapse-compress-state (a
container image which wraps the upstream-prebuilt amd64 binary of
rust-synapse-compress-state) to registry.gitlab.com/mb-saces/rust-synapse-compress-state
(https://gitlab.com/mb-saces/rust-synapse-compress-state), which builds
rust-synapse-compress-state from source and provides a multi-arch image
that currently works on amd64 and arm64.
Ideally, we'll stop using `:latest` and arm32 support will be made
available upstream as well at some point.

Changed the commit hash in matrix_synapse_ext_spam_checker_mjolnir_antispam_git_version to latest. Fixes a Synapse ImportError with mjolnir v1.4.1 leading to a Synapse crash-loop.
`roles/matrix-synapse/vars/workers.yml` has not been updated here,
because running `roles/matrix-synapse/files/workers-doc-to-yaml.awk`
seems to cause some trouble with the current `workers.md` file
available at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/raw/master/docs/workers.md,
namely lots of:
> FIXME: ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS REQUIRED: to be enabled manually
lines and commented out regex lines.
This is something that remains to be investigated/fixed.
For an unknown reason prometheus ignored the given "numeric" index and replaced it by 1. This made it not work properly, plus multiple workers of same types were not differentiable. With a "string" index, it works as intended.
The `to_nice_yaml` helper will by default wrap any string YAML values on
the first space after column 80. This can in worst case yield invalid
YAML syntax. More details in Ansible's documentation here:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_filters.html#formatting-data-yaml-and-json
In short, you need to explicitly provide a custom width argument of a
high number of some kind to avoid the line wrapping.
matrix_synapse_federation_port_enabled can be disabled by users, for
example, when one wants to use the same port for client and federation
requests (docs/configuring-playbook-federation.md).
