This bridge doesn't support SQLite anyway, so it's not necessary
to carry around configuration fields and code for migration from SQLite
to Postgres. There's nothing to migrate.
This commit introduces a new role that downloads and installs the
prometheus community postgres exporter https://github.com/prometheus-community/postgres_exporter.
A new credential is added to matrix_postgres_additional_databases that
allows the exporter access to the database to gather statistics.
A new dashboard was added to the grafana role, with some refactoring
to enable the dashboard only if the new role is enabled.
I've included some basic instructions for how to enable the role in
the Docs section.
In terms of testing, I've tested enabling the role, and disabling
it to make sure it cleans up the container and systemd role.
Expected to have regressed after https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/1008
This patch comes with its own downsides (as described in the comments
for matrix_prometheus_node_exporter_container_http_host_bind_port),
but at least there's:
- no security issue
- metrics remain readable from matrix-prometheus (even if the network metrics are inaccurate)
A better patch is certainly welcome.
Not sure why this had been done in the first place.
It doesn't make any sense.
There's no relation between matrix-nginx-proxy and
prometheus-node-exporter.
This variable was previously undefined in the role and was only getting
defined via `group_vars/matrix_servers`.
We now properly initialize it (and its good default value) in the role
itself.
- add matrix_postgres_backup_databases to be build on top of matrix_postgres_additional_databases
- POSTGRES_DB is now directly set from matrix_postgres_backup_databases while building the templates/env-postgres-backup.j2
People who were disabling matrix-nginx-proxy (in favor of their own
nginx webserver) and also overriding `matrix_federation_public_port`,
found that the generated nginx configuration still hardcoded `8448`,
which forced their nginx server to use that, regardless of the fact
that `matrix_federation_public_port` was pointing elsewhere.
We now allow for the in-container federation port to be configurable,
and also automatically wire things properly.
Also includes the dashboards for Synapse and for Node Exporter.
Again has only been tested on debian amd64 so far, but the grafana docker image is available for arm64 and arm32. Nice.
Basic system stats, to show stuff the synapse metrics
can't show such as resource usage by bridges, etc
Seems to work fine as well.
This too has only been tested on debian amd64 so far
I felt that adding another variable was probably going to be the easiest way to do this. I may end up adding another variable to enable this feature, for consistency with some of the other things.
We do this by creating one more layer of indirection.
First we reach some generic vhost handling matrix.DOMAIN.
A bunch of override rules are added there (capturing traffic to send to
ma1sd, etc). nginx-status and similar generic things also live there.
We then proxy to the homeserver on some other vhost (only Synapse being
available right now, but repointing this to Dendrite or other will be
possible in the future).
Then that homeserver-specific vhost does its thing to proxy to the
homeserver. It may or may not use workers, etc.
Without matrix-corporal, the flow is now:
1. matrix.DOMAIN (matrix-nginx-proxy/matrix-domain.conf)
2. matrix-nginx-proxy/matrix-synapse.conf
3. matrix-synapse
With matrix-corporal enabled, it becomes:
1. matrix.DOMAIN (matrix-nginx-proxy/matrix-domain.conf)
2. matrix-corporal
3. matrix-nginx-proxy/matrix-synapse.conf
4. matrix-synapse
(matrix-corporal gets injected at step 2).
There was a `matrix_nginx_proxy_enabled|default(False)` check, but:
- it didn't seem to work reliably for some reason (hmm)
- referring to a `matrix_nginx_proxy_*` variable from within the
`matrix-synapse` role is not ideal
- exposing always happened on `127.0.0.1`, which may not be good enough
for some rarer setups (where the own webserver is external to the host)
I guess it didn't hurt to do it until now, but it's not great serving
federation APIs on the client-server API port, etc.
matrix-corporal doesn't work yet (still something to be solved in the
future), but its firewalling operations will also be sabotaged
by Client-Server APIs being served on the federation port (it's a way to get around its firewalling).
In short, this makes Synapse a 2nd class citizen,
preparing for a future where it's just one-of-many homeserver software
options.
We also no longer have a default Postgres superuser password,
which improves security.
The changelog explains more as to why this was done
and how to proceed from here.
I had intentionally held it back in 39ea3496a4
until:
- it received more testing (there were a few bugs during the
migration, but now it seems OK)
- this migration guide was written
The answer to these is: it's good to have them in both places.
The role defines the obvious things it depends on (not knowing
what setup it will find itself into), and then
`group_vars/matrix_servers` "extends" it based on everything else it
knows (the homeserver being Synapse, whether or not the internal
Postgres server is being used, etc.)
Otherwise the postgres upgrade fails with the following error:
Unexpected templating type error occurred on ({{
[matrix_postgres_connection_username]
+
matrix_postgres_additional_databases|map(attribute='username')
}}
): can only concatenate list (not "generator") to list
Now that 0.7.2 is out, the Docker image supports Postgres
and we can do the (SQLite -> Postgres) migration.
I've also found out that we needed to fix up the `tokens.ex_date` column
data type a bit to prevent matrix-registration from raising exceptions
when comparing `datetime.now()` with `ex_date` coming from the database.
Example:
> File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/matrix_registration/tokens.py", line 58, in valid
> expired = self.ex_date < datetime.now()
> TypeError: can't compare offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes
We were running into conflicts, because having initialized
the roles (users) and databases, trying to import leads to
errors (role XXX already exists, etc.).
We were previously ignoring the Synapse database (`homeserver`)
when upgrading/importing, because that one gets created by default
whenever the container starts.
For our additional databases, it's a similar situation now.
It's not created by default as soon as Postgres starts with an empty
database, but rather we create it as part of running the playbook.
So we either need to skip those role/database creation statements
while upgrading/importing, or to avoid creating the additional database
and rely on the import for that. I've gone for the former, because
it's already similar to what we were doing and it's simpler
(it lets `setup_postgres.yml` be the same in all scenarios).
Auto-migration and everything seems to work. It's just that
matrix-registration cannot load the Python modules required
for talking to a Postgres database.
Tracked here: https://github.com/ZerataX/matrix-registration/issues/44
Until this gets fixed, we'll continue default to 'sqlite'.
I was thinking that it makes sense to be more specific,
and using `_postgres_` also separated these variables
from the `_database_` variables that ended up in bridge configuration.
However, @jdreichmann makes a good point
(https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/740#discussion_r542281102)
that we don't need to be so specific and can allow for other engines (like MySQL) to use these variables.
The only one that remains is `matrix_synapse_database_password`, but
that's something old and should be dealt with separately in the future
(unless it remains as it is).
