Discord client IDs are numeric (e.g. 12345).
Passing them as integers however, causes the Discord bridge's YAML parser
to parse them as integers and its config schema validation will fail.
Fixes#240 (Github Issue)
This only gets triggered if:
- the Synapse role is used standalone and the default values are used
- the whole playbook is used, with `matrix_mxisd_enabled: false`
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/)
# Auth server config
auth:
# Publicly accessible base URL for the login endpoints.
# The prefix below is not implicitly added. This URL and all subpaths should be proxied
# or otherwise pointed to the appservice's webserver to the path specified below (prefix).
# This path should usually include a trailing slash.
public: http://example.com/login/
# Internal prefix in the appservice web server for the login endpoints.
prefix: /login
Also discussed previously in #213 (Github Pull Request).
shared-secret-auth and rest-auth logging is still at `INFO`
intentionally, as user login events seem more important to keep.
Those modules typically don't spam as much.
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.
It adds support for a new `DISABLE_SENDER_VERIFICATION` environment
variable that can be used to disable verification of sender addresses.
It doesn't matter for us, but we upgrade to keep up with latest.
Looks like these client ids are actually integers,
but unless we pass them as a string, the bridge would complain with
an error like:
{"field":"data.auth.clientID","message":"is the wrong type","value":123456789012345678,"type":"string","schemaPath":["properties","auth","properties","clientID"]}
Explicitly-casting to a string should fix the problem.
The Discord bridge should probably be improved to handle both ints and
strings though.
Regression since 174a6fcd1b, #204 (Github Pull Request),
which only affects new servers.
Old servers which had their passkey.pem file relocated were okay.
ef5e4ad061 intentionally makes us conform to
the logging format suggested by the official Docker image.
Reverting this part, because it's uglier.
This likely should be fixed upstream as well though.
Somewhat related to #213 (Github Pull Request).
We've been moving in the opposite direction for quite a long time.
All services should just leave logging to systemd's journald.
Fixes a regression introduced during the upgrade to
Synapse v1.1.0 (in 2b3865ceea).
Since Synapse v1.1.0 upgraded to Python 3.7
(https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5546),
we need to use a different modules directory when mounting
password provider modules.
Well, `config.yaml` has been playbook-managed for a long time.
It's now extended to match the default sample config of the Discord
bridge.
With this patch, we also make `registration.yaml` playbook-managed,
which leads us to consistency with all other bridges.
Along with that, we introduce `./config` and `./data` separation,
like we do for the other bridges.
I've been thinking of doing before, but haven't.
Now that the Whatsapp bridge does it (since 4797469383),
it makes sense to do it for all other bridges as well.
(Except for the IRC bridge - that one manages most of registration.yaml by itself)
appservice-irc doesn't have permission to create files in its project
directory and the intention is to log to the console, anyway. By
commenting out the file names, appservice-irc won't attempt to open the
files.
This means we need to explicitly specify a `media_url` now,
because without it, `url` would be used for building public URLs to
files/images. That doesn't work when `url` is not a public URL.
Until now, if `--tags=setup-synapse` was used, bridge tasks would not
run and bridges would fail to register with the `matrix-synapse` role.
This means that Synapse's configuration would be generated with an empty
list of appservices (`app_service_config_files: []`).
.. and then bridges would fail, because Synapse would not be aware of
there being any bridges.
From now on, bridges always run their init tasks and always register
with Synapse.
For the Telegram bridge, the same applies to registering with
matrix-nginx-proxy. Previously, running `--tags=setup-nginx-proxy` would
get rid of the Telegram endpoint configuration for the same reason.
Not anymore.
With most people on Synapse v0.99+ and Synapse v1.0 now available,
we should no longer try to be backward compatible with Synapse 0.34,
because this just complicates the instructions for no good reason.
Using `|to_json` on a string is expected to correctly wrap it in quotes (e.g. `"4"`).
Wrapping it explicitly in double-quotes results in undesirable double-quoting (`""4""`).
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).
Previously, it only mentioned exposing for psql-usage purposes.
Realistically, it can be used for much more. Especially given that
psql can be easily accessed via our matrix-postgres-cli script,
without exposing the container port.
We log to journald anyway. There's no need for double-logging.
It should not that matrix-synapse logs to journald and to files,
but that's likely to change in the future as well.
Because Synapse's logs are insanely verbose right now (and may get
dropped by journald), it's more reliable to have file-logging too.
As Synapse matures and gets more stable, logging should hopefully
get less, we should be able to only use journald and stop writing to
files for it as well.
