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.
While it's kind of nice having it, it's also somewhat raw
and unnecessary.
Having a good default and not even mentioning it seems better
for most users.
People who need a more exposed bridge (rare) can use
override the default configuration using
`matrix_mautrix_signal_configuration_extension_yaml`.
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.)
