# 2018-09-26
## Disabling Docker container logging
`--log-driver=none` is used for all Docker containers now.
All these containers are started through systemd anyway and get logged in journald, so there's no need for Docker to be logging the same thing using the default `json-file` driver. Doing that was growing `/var/lib/docker/containers/..` infinitely until service/container restart.
As a result of this, things like `docker logs matrix-synapse` won't work anymore. `journalctl -u matrix-synapse` is how one can see the logs.
# 2018-09-17
## Service discovery support
The playbook now helps you set up [service discovery](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.4.0.html#server-discovery) using a `/.well-known/matrix/client` file.
Additional details are available in [Configuring service discovery via .well-known](docs/configuring-well-known.md).
## (BC Break) Renaming playbook variables
The following playbook variables were renamed:
- from `matrix_nginx_riot_web_data_path` to `matrix_riot_web_data_path`
- from `matrix_riot_web_default_identity_server_url` to `matrix_identity_server_url`

## Mautrix Telegram bridging support
The playbook now supports bridging with [Telegram](https://telegram.org/) by installing the [mautrix-telegram](https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-telegram) bridge. This playbook functionality is available thanks to [@izissise](https://github.com/izissise).
Additional details are available in [Setting up Mautrix Telegram bridging](docs/configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-telegram.md).
## Events cache size increase and configurability for Matrix Synapse
The playbook now lets you configure Matrix Synapse's `event_cache_size` configuration via the `matrix_synapse_event_cache_size` playbook variable.
Previously, this value was hardcoded to `"10K"`. From now on, a more reasonable default of `"100K"` is used.
## Password-peppering support for Matrix Synapse
The playbook now supports enabling password-peppering for increased security in Matrix Synapse via the `matrix_synapse_password_config_pepper` playbook variable. Using a password pepper is disabled by default (just like it used to be before this playbook variable got introduced) and is not to be enabled/disabled after initial setup, as that would invalidate all existing passwords.
## Statistics-reporting support for Matrix Synapse
There's now a new `matrix_synapse_report_stats` playbook variable, which controls the `report_stats` configuration option for Matrix Synapse. It defaults to `false`, so no change is required to retain your privacy.
If you'd like to start reporting statistics about your homeserver (things like number of users, number of messages sent, uptime, load, etc.) to matrix.org, you can turn on stats reporting.
# 2018-08-29
## Changing the way SSL certificates are retrieved
We've been using [acmetool](https://github.com/hlandau/acme) (with the [willwill/acme-docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/willwill/acme-docker/) Docker image) until now.
2018-08-29 08:41:24 +02:00
Due to the Docker image being deprecated, and things looking bleak for acmetool's support of the newer ACME v2 API endpoint, we've switched to using [certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/) (with the [certbot/certbot](https://hub.docker.com/r/certbot/certbot/) Docker image).
2018-08-29 08:41:24 +02:00
Simply re-running the playbook will retrieve new certificates (via certbot) for you.
To ensure you don't leave any old files behind, though, you'd better do this:
- `systemctl stop 'matrix*'`
- stop your custom webserver, if you're running one (only affects you if you've installed with `matrix_nginx_proxy_enabled: false`)
- `mv /matrix/ssl /matrix/ssl-acmetool-delete-later`
- re-run the playbook's [installation](docs/installing.md)
- possibly delete `/matrix/ssl-acmetool-delete-later`

# 2018-08-21
## Matrix Corporal support
The playbook can now install and configure [matrix-corporal](https://github.com/devture/matrix-corporal) for you.
Additional details are available in [Setting up Matrix Corporal](docs/configuring-playbook-matrix-corporal.md).
# 2018-08-20
## Matrix Synapse rate limit control variables
The following new variables can now be configured to control Matrix Synapse's rate-limiting (default values are shown below).
```yaml
matrix_synapse_rc_messages_per_second: 0.2
matrix_synapse_rc_message_burst_count: 10.0
```
## Shared Secret Auth support via matrix-synapse-shared-secret-auth
The playbook can now install and configure [matrix-synapse-shared-secret-auth](https://github.com/devture/matrix-synapse-shared-secret-auth) for you.
2018-08-20 20:27:19 +02:00
Additional details are available in [Setting up the Shared Secret Auth password provider module](docs/configuring-playbook-shared-secret-auth.md).
# 2018-08-17
2018-08-17 08:02:12 +02:00
## REST auth support via matrix-synapse-rest-auth
The playbook can now install and configure [matrix-synapse-rest-auth](https://github.com/kamax-io/matrix-synapse-rest-auth) for you.
Additional details are available in [Setting up the REST authentication password provider module](docs/configuring-playbook-rest-auth.md).
2018-08-17 07:00:38 +02:00
## Compression improvements
Shifted Matrix Synapse compression from happening in the Matrix Synapse,
to happening in the nginx proxy that's in front of it.
Additionally, `riot-web` also gets compressed now (in the nginx proxy),
which drops the initial page load's size from 5.31MB to 1.86MB.
## Disabling some unnecessary Synapse services
The following services are not necessary, so they have been disabled:
- on the federation port (8448): the `client` service
- on the http port (8008, exposed over 443): the old Angular `webclient` and the `federation` service
Federation runs only on the federation port (8448) now.
The Client APIs run only on the http port (8008) now.

# 2018-08-15
## mxisd Identity Server support
The playbook now sets up an [mxisd](https://github.com/kamax-io/mxisd) Identity Server for you by default.
Additional details are available in [Adjusting mxisd Identity Server configuration](docs/configuring-playbook-mxisd.md).
2018-08-14 13:11:41 +02:00
# 2018-08-14
## Email-sending support
The playbook now configures an email-sending service (postfix) by default.
Additional details are available in [Adjusting email-sending settings](docs/configuring-playbook-email.md).
With this, Matrix Synapse is able to send email notifications for missed messages, etc.
# 2018-08-08
## (BC Break) Renaming playbook variables
The following playbook variables were renamed:
- from `matrix_max_upload_size_mb` to `matrix_synapse_max_upload_size_mb`
- from `matrix_max_log_file_size_mb` to `matrix_synapse_max_log_file_size_mb`
- from `matrix_max_log_files_count` to `matrix_synapse_max_log_files_count`
- from `docker_matrix_image` to `matrix_docker_image_synapse`
- from `docker_nginx_image` to `matrix_docker_image_nginx`
- from `docker_riot_image` to `matrix_docker_image_riot`
- from `docker_goofys_image` to `matrix_docker_image_goofys`
- from `docker_coturn_image` to `matrix_docker_image_coturn`
If you're overriding any of them in your `vars.yml` file, you'd need to change to the new names.
## Renaming Ansible playbook tag
The command for executing the whole playbook has changed.
The `setup-main` tag got renamed to `setup-all`.
## Docker container linking
Changed the way the Docker containers are linked together. The ones that need to communicate with others operate in a `matrix` network now and not in the default bridge network.
