I haven't really traced it (yet), but on some servers, I'm observing
`ansible-playbook ... --tags=start` completing very slowly, waiting
to stop services. I can't reproduce this on all Matrix servers I manage.
I suspect that either the systemd version is to blame or that some
specific service is not responding well to some `docker kill/rm` command.
`ExecStop` seems to work great in all cases and it's what we've been
using for a very long time, so I'm reverting to that.
Until now, we were leaving services "enabled"
(symlinks in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/).
We clean these up now. Broken symlinks may still exist in older
installations that enabled/disabled services. We're not taking care
to fix these up. It's just a cosmetic defect anyway.
The Github link is just a redirect to Tulir's own GitLab, so I replaced the self-build link
The docker container repository was rearranged hierarchically (dock.mau.dev/tulir/mautrix-facebook -> dock.mau.dev/mautrix/facebook)
Tagged versions have been made available, thus :latest -> :v0.3.1
If they do, our next playbook runs would simply revert it
and report "changed" for that task.
There's no benefit to letting the bridge spew a new config file.
This does not apply to the mautrix whatsapp bridge, because that one
is written in Go (not Python) and takes different flags. There's no
equivalent flag there.
Fixes a regression introduced in f6097fbba1, which was cauing Synapse
to die with this error message:
> ValueError: sender_localpart needs characters which are not URL encoded.
These are just defensive cleanup tasks that we run.
In the good case, there's nothing to kill or remove, so they trigger an
error like this:
> Error response from daemon: Cannot kill container: something: No such container: something
and:
> Error: No such container: something
People often ask us if this is a problem, so instead of always having to
answer with "no, this is to be expected", we'd rather eliminate it now
and make logs cleaner.
In the event that:
- a container is really stuck and needs cleanup using kill/rm
- and cleanup fails, and we fail to report it because of error
suppression (`2>/dev/null`)
.. we'd still get an error when launching ("container name already in use .."),
so it shouldn't be too hard to investigate.
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 `mobile` branch got merged to `master`, which ends up becoming
`:latest`. It's a "rewrite" of the bridge's backend and only
supports a Postgres database.
We'd like to go back (well, forward) to `:latest`, but that will take
a little longer, because:
- we need to handle and document things for people still on SQLite
(especially those with external Postgres, who are likely on SQLite for
bridges)
- I'd rather test the new builds (and migration) a bit before
releasing it to others and possibly breaking their bridge
Brave ones who are already using the bridge with Postgres
can jump on `:latest` and report their experience.
Fixes a problem like this:
> File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mautrix/bridge/e2ee.py", line 79, in __init__
> raise RuntimeError("Unsupported database scheme")
mautrix-python's e2ee.py module expects to find `postgres://` instead of
`postgresql://`.
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.
Regression since 2d99ade72f and 9bf8ce878e, respectively.
When SQLite is to be used, these bridges expect an `sqlite://`
connection string, and not a plain file name (path), like Appservice
Discord and mautrix-whatsapp do.
If a service is enabled, a database for it is created in postgres with a uniqque password. The service can then use this database for data storage instead of relying on sqlite.
