I've just tested Rocky Linux v9 and it seems to work.
I suppose the Docker situation
(https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/300)
on RHEL v8 has improved, so it probably works too.
I see no reason AlmaLinux and other RHEL derivatives wouldn't work,
but I have neither tested them, nor have confirmation from others about
it.
It's mostly a matter of us being able to install:
- Docker, via https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-docker which
seems to support various distros
- a few other packages (systemd-timesyncd, etc).
The list of supported distros has been reordered alphabetically.
I've heard reports of SUSE Linux working well too, so it may also be added
if confirmed again.

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.
* Fix YML Error
The playbook is not happy with the previous state of this patch so this commit hopefully fixes it
* Add to_json to various Synapse tuning related configs
* Fix incorrect indication in homeserver.yaml.j2
* Minor cleanups
* Synapse Cache Autotuning Documentation
* Upgrade Synapse Cache Autotune to auto configure memory use
* Update Synapse Tuning docs to reflect automatic memory use configuration
* Fix Linting errors in synapses main.yml
* Rename variables for consistency (matrix_synapse_caches_autotuning_* -> matrix_synapse_cache_autotuning_*)
* Remove FIX ME comment about Synapse's `cache_autotuning`
`docs/maintenance-synapse.md` and `roles/custom/matrix-synapse/defaults/main.yml`
already contains documentation about these variables and the default values we set.
* Improve "Tuning caches and cache autotuning" documentation for Synapse
* Announce larger Synapse caches and cache auto-tuning

Adds a Draupnir mention to the list and as for why we pull from Gnuxie its because that is the official source of docker images as Draupnir used to be Gnuxie/Draupnir before it moved to The Draupnir Project.
The path rule was not working because for federation fo work it needs several endpoints.
Two of them are not under /_matrix/federation :
- /_matrix/key
- /_matrix/media
`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`.
