Cinny includes nginx configuration which does URL rewrites now, as seen
here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cinnyapp/cinny/dev/docker-nginx.conf
That said, we have our own nginx configuration for Cinny, because we'd
like to run ngin as non-root and on a non-privileged port (80 -> 8080).
For this reason, we override `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf` and need to
duplicate what we see in `/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf` with our own
`server` block (which listens on port 8080).
This is provoked by de91fe933d,
where I've added a few new labels and made it possible for people to
disable them.
In this patch, I'm making it possible to disable any of the old Traefik
labels in a similar way.
My alerts seem to contain `annotations.alertname` in the payload, so the
default configuration (coming from the matrix-alertmanager-receiver README)
seems to be outdated or something.

`matrix-media-repo` is the only role that seems incompatible with the
changes introduced by Traefik v3, due to its use of `PathPrefix` with
regular expressions in a few places.
Regular expressions should now be used with `PathRegexp`, not
`PathPrefix`. Furthermore, they should follow the Golang regexp syntax,
as described in the migration guide:
https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/migration/v2-to-v3-details/#dynamic-configuration-changes
This reverts commit 752de4406e.
Fixes https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/3393
When running the playbook against an existing server, it invokes `register_new_matrix_user`
as part of the `matrix-user-creator` role, which runs before the
`systemd_service_manager`. At that time, `matrix-user-creator` detects
that Synapse is up (from before), but it's the old version. Services have not yet been
restarted, so it's actually the older Synapse version that is up, not
the new one. The old version does not support the `--exists-ok` flag yet.
Basically, this `--exists-ok` patch landed too early and has affected existing playbook
users that have an older version of Synapse in operation.
It will be safer to bring back this patch some time in the future.
However, users upgrading from Synapse <= v1.109.0 even long into the
future will bump into the same issue. As such, it would be better to
either add special handling or to delay bringing back this patch enough
so as to ensure everyone using the playbook is on Synapse >= 1.110.0.
`auto_join_mxid_localpart` defines the local part of the user id which is used to create auto-join rooms. The variable needs to be set to invite new users to any auto-join rooms which are set to invite-only.
By appending `/webhook` to the public URL (becoming `/hookshot/webhooks/webhook`)
and by only stripping the `/hookshot/webhooks` prefix,
we're effectively following what newer Hookshot versions advise
(see https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/1681).
This change appears to be backward-compatible (old webhook URLs like `/hookshot/webhooks/:hookId` still work),
until Hookshot behavior changes.
Regression since 7891268873,
where I removed the `matrix_hookshot_urlprefix` prefix group
`group_vars/matrix_servers`, thinking the value in `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-hookshot/defaults/main.yml`
was the same.
The value in `defaults/main.yml` incorrectly included `matrix_hookshot_public_endpoint`
in `matrix_hookshot_urlprefix`, which was leading to double-`/hookshot`-prefixing.
We were previously saved by the `matrix_hookshot_urlprefix` override in `group_vars/matrix_servers`.
This fix brings the correct URL prefix value (the one without `matrix_hookshot_public_endpoint`)
to `defaults/main.yml`.
Commit 4224741130 missed a endfor
statement in the goofys systemd service unit template. This adds it,
avoiding a Jinja2 syntax error when using goofys.

With this change, it should be possible for people to adjust the Docker
dependency from `docker.service` to something else (e.g. `pkg-ContainerManager-dockerd.service`),
or to completely eliminate it by setting `devture_systemd_docker_base_docker_service_name` to an empty string.
This makes it easier for people to use the playbook against a Synology DSM server.
This is based on the PR (https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/3241)
by Tobias Diez (https://github.com/tobiasdiez).
I've refactored some parts, made it more configurable, polished it up,
and it's integrated into the playbook now.
Both the WeChat bridge and WeChat agent appear to be working.
The WeChat bridge joins rooms and responds as expected.
That said, end-to-end testing (actually bridging to a WeChat account) has not been done yet.

`/home/user` is owned by `user:group` (`1000:1000`), so it cannot run
any other way.
Previously, if the `matrix` user was uid=1000 by chance, it would work,
but that's pure luck.

Appservice Draupnir for All required Develop before the release of 1.87.0 to work at all in the playbook. Now that we have a release to pin to we will return to being pinned to a release. Especially as Draupnir 2.0.0 push is happening now in main. This will mean that Draupnir develop is expected to be much more unstable than usual for a bit so its important that we pin to a stable release. These releases are validated due to having been dogfooded ever since D4A was merged into the playbook.

We still remain on v0.1.0 for now, even though that's quite old nowadays
and the bridge is moving quickly.
Still, one could now pin to a specific commit like this:
```yml
matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_version: 682c4d75b0fdfe102af4b6d88bb5c76453adc86d
matrix_mautrix_meta_instagram_version: 682c4d75b0fdfe102af4b6d88bb5c76453adc86d
```
* mautrix-meta: enable spaces; add a hint into the display name
* use the meta mode to determine displayname suffix
* Allow for people to easily unset the mautrix-meta displayname suffix
Previously, unsetting `matrix_mautrix_meta_messenger_bridge_displayname_suffix`
or (`matrix_mautrix_meta_instagram_bridge_displayname_suffix`) variable would
make you end up witha trailing space in `displayname`.
It's possible that mautrix-meta trims this, but I haven't checked. It's
better not to risk it anyway.

We noticed that the reporting function in Element is broken, at least when using the 'specialized-workers' preset.
This changes the `main_override_locations_regex` of the reverse proxy companion to ensure that requests to `/_matrix/client/v3/rooms/<roomid>/report/<message>` always land on the main process.
We may have had another migration task before, but I cannot find it now.
Some people have reported a leftover systemd timer and service,
so it's evident that not everyone has gone through that previous migration.
The new version is very broken. It has at least 2 issues.
The first one is:
```
Error: maxPromptTokens + max_tokens (3097 + 1024 = 4121) must be less than or equal to maxContextTokens (4097)
at ChatGPTClient.setOptions (file:///usr/src/app/node_modules/@waylaidwanderer/chatgpt-api/src/ChatGPTClient.js:72:19)

at async loadESM (node:internal/process/esm_loader:28:7)
at async handleMainPromise (node:internal/modules/run_main:113:12)
```
Likely related to:
- https://github.com/matrixgpt/matrix-chatgpt-bot/issues/246
- https://github.com/matrixgpt/matrix-chatgpt-bot/pull/248
It can be tweaked around by overriding some default environment
variables (`roles/custom/matrix-bot-chatgpt/templates/env.j2`) in order to tweak them:
```
CHATGPT_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS=4097
CHATGPT_MAX_PROMPT_TOKENS=2500
```
This leads us to another issue:
```
node:internal/process/promises:289
triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);
^

Media didn't work before this patch, likely because this feature is broken:
> N.B. Discord now requires signed expiring download links, which means this solution no longer works. In the future, a more dynamic solution may be implemented where requests go to the bridge and the bridge and the bridge refetches the message if necessary.
Source: https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/discord/direct-media.html
Moreover, most users more likely don't want this behavior and would
prefer to keep a complete mirror of the media on Matrix, instead of
going through two 3rd party servers to fetch the media on demand.
The default config for the bridge
(https://github.com/mautrix/discord/blob/main/example-config.yaml)
actually does not enable it.
It seems like 4ed522e8fe
(https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/3133)
lied to us as to what upstream does. Poor PR review lead to this
anti-feature making it into the playbook.
Fixup for https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/3017
This reverts 1cd82cf068 and also multiplies results by `1024`
so as to pass bytes to Synapse, not KB (as done before).
1cd82cf068 was correctly documenting what we were doing (passing KB values),
but that's incorrect.
Synapse's Config Conventions
(https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html#config-conventions)
are supposed to clear it up, but they don't currently state what happens when you pass a plain number (without a unit suffix).
Thankfully, the source code tells us:
bc1db16086/synapse/config/_base.py (L181-L206)
> If an integer is provided it is treated as bytes and is unchanged.
>
> String byte sizes can have a suffix of ...
> No suffix is understood as a plain byte count.
We were previously passing strings, but that has been improved in 3d73ec887a.
Regardless, non-suffixed values seem to be treated as bytes by Synapse,
so this patch changes the variables to use bytes.
Moreover, we're moving from `matrix_synapse_memtotal_kb` to
`matrix_synapse_cache_size_calculations_memtotal_bytes` as working with
the base unit everywhere is preferrable.
Here, we also introduce 2 new variables to allow for the caps to be
tweaked:
- `matrix_synapse_cache_size_calculations_max_cache_memory_usage_cap_bytes`
- `matrix_synapse_cache_size_calculations_target_cache_memory_usage_cap_bytes`
We're casting everything it `int`, but since Jinja templates are
involved, these values end up as strings anyway.
Doing `| int | to_json` is good, but we should only cast numbers to
integer, not empty strings, as that (0) may be interpreted differently
by Synapse.
To turn of auto-tuning, one is possibly supposed to pass empty strings:
> This option defaults to off, enable it by providing values for the sub-options listed below.
It could be that `0` is also considered "no value provided", but I
haven't verified that.

* Modify Synapse Cache Factor to use Auto Tune
Synapse has the ability to as it calls in its config auto tune caches.
This ability lets us set very high cache factors and then instead limit our resource use.
Defaults for this commit are 1/10th of what Element apparently runs for EMS stuff and matrix.org on Cache Factor and upstream documentation defaults for auto tune.
* Add vars to Synapse main.yml to control cache related config
This commit adds various cache related vars to main.yml for Synapse.
Some are auto tune and some are just adding explicit ways to control upstream vars.
* Updated Auto Tune figures
Autotuned figures have been bumped in consultation with other community members as to a reasonable level. Please note these defaults are more on the one of each workers side than they are on the monolith Side.

`matrix_synapse_federation_port_enabled` is defined like this:
```
matrix_synapse_federation_port_enabled: "{{ matrix_synapse_federation_enabled or matrix_synapse_federation_port_openid_resource_required }}"
```
Previously, people that disabled federation, but needed the `openid`
listener were running without these federation-related labels.
In this patch, we're also dropping the `not matrix_synapse_workers_enabled` condition,
because.. none of the Matrix-related labels would be applied anyway when
workers are enabled, thanks to `matrix_synapse_container_labels_matrix_related_labels_enabled`.

Most addons live in the same network by default (matrix-addons) right now,
so this network would have usually been created by some other addon.
Howevre, if this is the only addon someone uses, it may have remained
uncreated causing a problem.
I believe `specialized-workers` is a better name than `room-workers`,
because when enabled, 4 different types of specialized workers are
created:
- Room workers
- Sync workers
- Client readers
- Federation readers
Only one of these is called room-workers.
In the future, more specialized workers may be added, making the
`room-workers` preset name an even poorer choice.
Related to https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/pull/3100
Until now, the validation check would only get tripped up
if generic workers are used, combined with at least one EACH
other type of specialized workers.
This means that someone doing this:
```
matrix_synapse_workers_preset: one-of-each
matrix_synapse_workers_client_reader_workers_count: 5
```
.. would not have triggered this safety check.

Hookshot wants a trailing slash for this route.
If we let Hookshot redirect, it goes to `/widgetapi/v1/static/`,
instead of `/hookshot/widgetapi/v1/static/`, so we take this matter into our
own hands.
Public URLs are like: `/hookshot/widgetapi/v1/static/`
.. which get translated to requests for: `/widgetapi/v1/static/`
Previously, we were stripping the whole `/hookshot/widgetapi` prefix,
which is wrong.
Most of these files were defining a service, usually toward the end.
These lines have been moved upward.
Some components (mautrix-signal, mautrix-gmessages, etc.) were defining
a service conditionally (only if metrics are exposed, etc). This was
causing issues like these in the Traefik logs:
> level=error msg="service \"matrix-mautrix-twitter\" error: port is missing" providerName=docker container=matrix-mautrix-twitter-..
This changes the behavior of
`matrix_playbook_migration_matrix_nginx_proxy_uninstallation_enabled`
and is against what we initially described in the changelog entry,
but I've discovered some problems when the `matrix-nginx-proxy` service
and container remain running. They need to go.
After some checking, it seems like there's `/_synapse/client/oidc`,
but no such thing as `/_synapse/oidc`.
I'm not sure why we've been reverse-proxying these paths for so long
(even in as far back as the `matrix-nginx-proxy` days), but it's time we
put a stop to it.
The OIDC docs have been simplified. There's no need to ask people to
expose the useless `/_synapse/oidc` endpoint. OIDC requires
`/_synapse/client/oidc` and `/_synapse/client` is exposed by default
already.
Issues and Pull Requests were not migrated to the new
organization/repository, so `matrix-org/synapse/pull` and
`matrix-org/synapse/issues` references were kept as-is.
`matrix-org/synapse-s3-storage-provider` references were also kept,
as that module still continues living under the `matrix-org` organization.
This patch mainly aims to change documentation-related things, not actual
usage in full yet. For polish that, another more comprehensive patch is coming later.
This moves the comments from being just in Jinja,
to actually ending up in the generated `labels` file,
which makes inspection of the final result easier.
Also, some new lines were added here and there to make labels
more legible.
The generated file may still include weird new-lines due to
various `if` statements yielding content or not, but that's not so ugly
anymore - now that we have proper start/end sections that are visible in
the final `labels` file.
The old variables still work. The global lets us avoid
auto-detection logic like we're currently doing for
`matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_federation_api_enabled`.
In the future, we'd just be able to reference
`matrix_homeserver_federation_enabled` and know the up-to-date value
regardless of homeserver.
This was meant to serve as an intermediary for services needing to reach
the homeserver. It was used like that for a while in this
`bye-bye-nginx-proxy` branch, but was never actually public.
It has recently been superseded by homeserver-like services injecting
themselves into a new internal Traefik entrypoint
(see `matrix_playbook_internal_matrix_client_api_traefik_entrypoint_*`),
so `matrix-homeserver-proxy` is no longer necessary.
---
This is probably a good moment to share some benchmarks and reasons
for going with the internal Traefik entrypoint as opposed to this nginx
service.
1. (1400 rps) Directly to Synapse (`ab -n 1000 -c 100 http://matrix-synapse:8008/_matrix/client/versions`
2. (~900 rps) Via `matrix-homeserver-proxy` (nginx) proxying to Synapse (`ab -n 1000 -c 100 http://matrix-homeserver-proxy:8008/_matrix/client/versions`)
3. (~1200 rps) Via the new internal entrypoint of Traefik (`matrix-internal-matrix-client-api`) proxying to Synapse (`ab -n 1000 -c 100 http://matrix-traefik:8008/_matrix/client/versions`)
Besides Traefik being quicker for some reason, there are also other
benefits to not having this `matrix-homeserver-proxy` component:
- we can reuse what we have in terms of labels. Services can register a few extra labels on the new Traefik entrypoint
- we don't need services (like `matrix-media-repo`) to inject custom nginx configs into `matrix-homeserver-proxy`. They just need to register labels, like they do already.
- Traefik seems faster than nginx on this benchmark for some reason, which is a nice bonus
- no need to run one extra container (`matrix-homeserver-proxy`) and execute one extra Ansible role
- no need to maintain a setup where some people run the `matrix-homeserver-proxy` component (because they have route-stealing services like `matrix-media-repo` enabled) and others run an optimized setup without this component and everything needs to be rewired to talk to the homeserver directly. Now, everyone can go through Traefik and we can all run an identical setup
Downsides of the new Traefik entrypoint setup are that:
- all addon services that need to talk to the homeserver now depend on Traefik
- people running their own Traefik setup will be inconvenienced - they
need to manage one additional entrypoint
We'd be adding integration with an internal Traefik entrypoint
(`matrix_playbook_internal_matrix_client_api_traefik_entrypoint`),
so renaming helps disambiguate things.
There's no need for deperecation tasks, because the old names
have only been part of this `bye-bye-nginx-proxy` branch and not used by
anyone publicly.
