(BC Break) Postgres, Traefik & Woodpecker CI roles have been relocated and variable names need adjustments
Various roles have been relocated from the devture organization to the mother-of-all-self-hosting organization.
Along with the relocation, the devture_ prefix was dropped from their variable names, so you need to adjust your vars.yml configuration.
You need to do the following replacements:
devture_postgres_->postgres_devture_traefik_->traefik_devture_woodpecker_ci_->woodpecker_ci_
As always, the playbook would let you know about this and point out any variables you may have missed.

Traefik v3 and HTTP/3 are here now
TLDR: Traefik was migrated from v2 to v3. Minor changes were done to the playbook. Mostly everything else worked out of the box. Most people will not have to do any tweaks to their configuration. In addition, HTTP/3 support is now auto-enabled for the web-secure (port 443) and matrix-federation (port 8448) entrypoints. If you have a firewall in front of your server and you wish to benefit from HTTP3, you will need to open the 443 and 8448 UDP ports in it.
Traefik v3
The reverse-proxy that the playbook uses by default (Traefik) has recently been upgraded to v3 (see this blog post to learn about its new features). Version 3 includes some small breaking configuration changes requiring a migration.
We have updated the playbook to Traefik v3 (make sure to run just roles / make roles to get it).
Most (all) MASH roles should not require any changes and should work with Traefik v3 by default.
Most people using the playbook should not have to do any changes.
If you're using the playbook's Traefik instance to reverse-proxy to some other services of your own (not managed by the playbook), you may wish to review their Traefik labels and make sure they're in line with the Traefik v2 to v3 migration guide.
If you've tweaked any of this playbook's _path_prefix variables and made them use a regular expression, you will now need to make additional adjustments. The playbook makes extensive use of PathPrefix() matchers in Traefik rules and PathPrefix does not support regular expressions anymore. To work around it, you may now need to override a whole _traefik_rule variable and switch it from PathPrefix to PathRegexp.
You may potentially downgrade to Traefik v2 (if necessary) by adding traefik_verison: v2.11.4 to your configuration.
HTTP/3 is enabled by default
In Traefik v3, HTTP/3 support is no longer considered experimental now.
Due to this, the playbook auto-enables HTTP3 for the web-secure (port 443) entrypoint.
HTTP3 uses the UDP protocol and the playbook (together with Docker) will make sure that the appropriate port (443 over UDP) is exposed and whitelisted in your server's firewall. However, if you have another firewall in front of your server (as is the case for many cloud providers), you will need to manually open this UDP port.
If you do not open the UDP port correctly or there is some other issue, clients (browsers, mostly) will fall-back to HTTP/2 or even HTTP/1.1.
Still, if HTTP/3 cannot function correctly in your setup, it's best to disable advertising support for it (and misleading clients into trying to use HTTP/3).
To disable HTTP/3, you can use the following configuration:
traefik_config_entrypoint_web_secure_http3_enabled: false

Postgres parameters are automatically tuned now
The playbook has provided some hints about Tuning PostgreSQL for quite a while now.
From now on, the Postgres Ansible role automatically tunes your Postgres configuration with the same calculation logic that powers https://pgtune.leopard.in.ua/.
Our Tuning PostgreSQL documentation page has details about how you can turn auto-tuning off or adjust the automatically-determined Postgres configuration parameters manually.

(Backward Compatibility Break) Authentik container variables renamed
For the authentik role there wehre initially two containers: authentic_worker_container and authentic_server_container. To simnplifiy the setup this was reduced to one container.
As the role is pretty young and to avoid confusion because of legacy and reverted design decisions all variables containing authentik_server_container will now start with authentik_container. This means you will have to renemae these variables in your vars.yml if you already use authentik. If you use a standard setup this only includes
authentic_server_container_additional_networks_custom->authentik_container_additional_networks_custom

(Backward Compatibility Break) Firezone database renamed
If you are running Firezone with the default Postgres integration the playbook automatically created the database with the name mash-firezone.
To be consistent with how this playbook names databases for all other services, going forward we've changed the database name to be just firezone. You will have to rename you database manually by running the following commands on your server:
- Stop Firezone:
systemctl stop mash-firezone - Run a Postgres
psqlshell:/mash/postgres/bin/cli - Execute this query:
ALTER DATABASE "mash-firezone" RENAME TO firezone;and then quit the shell with\q
Then update the playbook (don't forget to run just roles), run just install-all and you should be good to go!

(Backward Compatibility Break) PeerTube is no longer wired to Redis automatically
As described in our Redis services docs, running a single instance of Redis to be used by multiple services is not a good practice.
For this reason, we're no longer auto-wiring PeerTube to Redis. If you're running other services (which may require Redis in the future) on the same host, it's recommended that you follow the Creating a Redis instance dedicated to PeerTube documentation.
If you're only running PeerTube on a dedicated server (no other services that may need Redis) or you'd like to stick to what you've used until now (a single shared Redis instance), follow the Using the shared Redis instance for PeerTube documentation.

(Backward Compatibility Break) Docker no longer installed by default
The playbook used to install Docker and the Docker SDK for Python by default, unless you turned these off by setting mash_playbook_docker_installation_enabled and devture_docker_sdk_for_python_installation_enabled (respectively) to false.
From now on, both of these variables default to false. An empty inventory file will not install these components.
Most users will want to enable these, just like they would want to enable Traefik and Postgres, so why default them to false? The answer is: it's cleaner to have "everything is off by default - enable as you wish" and just need to add stuff, as opposed to "some things are on, some are off - toggle as you wish".
To enable these components, you need to explicitly add something like this to your vars.yml file:
########################################################################
# #
# Docker #
# #
########################################################################
mash_playbook_docker_installation_enabled: true
devture_docker_sdk_for_python_installation_enabled: true
########################################################################
# #
# /Docker #
# #
########################################################################
Our example vars.yml file has been updated, so that new hosts created based on it will have this configuration by default.
