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.
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
If we load it at runtime, during matrix-synapse role execution,
it's good enough for matrix-synapse and all roles after that,
but.. it breaks when someone uses `--tags=setup-nginx-proxy` alone.
The downside of including this vars file like this in `setup.yml`
is that the variables contained in it cannot be overriden by the user
(in their inventory's `vars.yml`).
... but it's not like overriding these variables was possible anyway
when including them at runtime.
The goal is to move each bridge into its own separate role.
This commit starts off the work on this with 2 bridges:
- mautrix-telegram
- mautrix-whatsapp
Each bridge's role (including these 2) is meant to:
- depend only on the matrix-base role
- integrate nicely with the matrix-synapse role (if available)
- integrate nicely with the matrix-nginx-proxy role (if available and if
required). mautrix-telegram bridge benefits from integrating with
it.
- not break if matrix-synapse or matrix-nginx-proxy are not used at all
This has been provoked by #174 (Github Issue).
As suggested in #63 (Github issue), splitting the
playbook's logic into multiple roles will be beneficial for
maintainability.
This patch realizes this split. Still, some components
affect others, so the roles are not really independent of one
another. For example:
- disabling mxisd (`matrix_mxisd_enabled: false`), causes Synapse
and riot-web to reconfigure themselves with other (public)
Identity servers.
- enabling matrix-corporal (`matrix_corporal_enabled: true`) affects
how reverse-proxying (by `matrix-nginx-proxy`) is done, in order to
put matrix-corporal's gateway server in front of Synapse
We may be able to move away from such dependencies in the future,
at the expense of a more complicated manual configuration, but
it's probably not worth sacrificing the convenience we have now.
As part of this work, the way we do "start components" has been
redone now to use a loop, as suggested in #65 (Github issue).
This should make restarting faster and more reliable.
