- Replace lookup('docker', ..., want='...') with lookup('docker', ..., 'path')
- Allow both top-level keys (directories/files) and dotted paths
- Simplify docker lookup API and reduce lazy dict propagation
- Update unit tests to reflect new lookup semantics

Remove implicit docker_compose variable usage and resolve all docker paths
(files, directories, env) via lookup('docker', application_id).
This prevents scope leakage, centralizes path resolution, and makes docker
context deterministic across roles and handlers.

Replace attribute-style access (lookup('database', app).volume/.host/etc.)
with explicit want= lookups across docker-compose and matrix templates
to align with updated database lookup plugin interface.

- Remove deprecated filter_plugins/tls.py and all dependent filters
- Introduce strict lookup plugin lookup_plugins/tls_resolve.py as single TLS authority
- Migrate all roles, templates, vars, and tasks to use tls_resolve (protocols, ports, URLs, cert paths)
- Enforce explicit TLS context (domains, applications, TLS_ENABLED, TLS_MODE)
- Support letsencrypt and self_signed with SAN handling and per-app overrides
- Update TLS provider roles to assert resolver state instead of setting facts
- Add comprehensive unit tests for tls_resolve lookup
https://chatgpt.com/share/6972b49b-b074-800f-a323-dd9fe69d02eb
with explicit per-application TLS resolution.
Key changes:
- Introduce sys-front-tls-layer as the single TLS abstraction
- Centralize certificate paths via TLS_CERT_FILE / TLS_KEY_FILE / TLS_CA_FILE
- Replace sys-svc-letsencrypt SSL templates with generic TLS layer includes
- Add tls_* Jinja filters (enabled, mode, protocol, port, websocket)
- Resolve TLS mode per application (letsencrypt | self_signed | off)
- Remove implicit defaults and WEB_* globals to fail fast on misconfiguration
- Support self-signed certificates with SAN awareness
- Make TLS behavior explicit and consistent across all roles
This decouples application logic from certificate providers and
allows switching TLS flavor without touching app roles.

- ensure OpenProject runs in production mode only
- wait for web container before applying settings
- run pending migrations automatically before rails runner
- apply settings via rails runner stdin (robust quoting & booleans)
- introduce thread/db pool cap to prevent OOM (OPENPROJECT_DB_POOL / RAILS_MAX_THREADS)
- fix admin creation runner env handling
- wire application_id correctly into docker roles
- disable unnecessary git pull for openldap docker role
- remove obsolete Development.md
This prevents OpenProject boot crashes caused by excessive thread/db pools
derived from dynamic Postgres sizing and makes role execution deterministic.

Enable Rails development environment in CI by conditionally adding the `listen`
gem and ensuring Bundler does not exclude development groups during image build.
This prevents crashes caused by the missing evented file watcher.
The production image remains unchanged.

Add dedicated database_reach_host variable to sys-svc-rdbms and use it for
direct database access in application roles.
This separates control-plane database access from generic Docker reach logic
and improves portability and CI stability.
Updated:
- sys-svc-rdbms vars: add database_reach_host
- web-app-openproject: use database_reach_host for LDAP DB queries
- web-app-peertube: use database_reach_host for OIDC DB updates

Refactor proxy/webserver configuration variables to a consistent webserver_* naming scheme across roles. Replace legacy variables like proxy_extra_configuration, client_max_body_size, vhost_flavour, location_ws and ws_port with webserver_extra_configuration, webserver_client_max_body_size, webserver_vhost_flavour, webserver_websocket_location and webserver_websocket_port. Update NGINX vhost and location templates (html, upload, ws, basic, ws_generic) as well as callers (sys-front-inj-all, sys-stk-front-proxy, various web-app-* and web-svc-* roles) to use the new naming.
Tighten docker-compose Git repository handling by making docker_git_repository_pull depend on docker_git_repository_address being defined, a string and non-empty. This avoids accidental Git operations when the repository address is unset or of the wrong type.
Refactor the BigBlueButton role structure and fix deployment bugs: introduce 01_core.yml to orchestrate docker/proxy setup, database seeding, websocket map deployment, docker-compose overrides and admin/bootstrap logic in a single once-executed entrypoint. Rename supporting task files (02_docker-compose.yml, 03_administrator.yml, 04_dependencies.yml) and update tasks/main.yml to delegate via include_tasks with run_once_web_app_bigbluebutton. Improve Greenlight admin creation behavior by treating the 'Email has already been taken' error as a non-fatal, unchanged outcome and running user:set_admin_role as a fallback, both for the primary password and the OIDC starred-password path.
Also standardize vhost flavour selection for services like Mailu, Discourse, CDN, Collabora, Coturn, OnlyOffice, Simpleicons and web-svc-logout by explicitly passing webserver_vhost_flavour where needed and aligning client_max_body_size and websocket configuration with the new webserver_* variables.

This commit updates multiple roles to ensure compatibility with Ansible 2.20.
Several include paths and task-loading mechanisms required adjustments,
as Ansible 2.20 applies stricter evaluation rules for complex Jinja expressions
and no longer resolves certain relative include paths the way Ansible 2.18 did.
Key changes:
- Replaced legacy once_finalize.yml and once_flag.yml with the new structure
under tasks/utils/once/finalize.yml and tasks/utils/once/flag.yml.
- Updated all include_tasks statements to use 'path_join' with playbook_dir,
ensuring deterministic and absolute file resolution across roles.
- Fixed all network helper includes by converting direct relative paths such as
'roles/docker-compose/tasks/utils/network.yml' to proper Jinja-evaluated paths.
- Normalized MATOMO_* variable names for consistency with the updated variable
scope behavior in Ansible 2.20.
- Removed deprecated patterns that were implicitly supported in Ansible 2.18
but break under the more strict variable and path resolution model in 2.20.
These changes are part of the full migration step required to ensure the
infinito-nexus roles remain stable, deterministic, and forward-compatible with
Ansible 2.20.

### Overview
This commit introduces a broad set of improvements across the defaults
generator, credential creation subsystem, inventory creation workflow,
and InventoryManager core logic.
### Major Changes
- Support empty or config/main.yml in defaults generator and ensure that
applications with empty configs are still included in defaults_applications.
- Add '--snippet' and '--allow-empty-plain' modes to create/credentials.py
with non-destructive merging and correct plain-secret handling.
- Ensure empty strings for 'plain' credentials are never encrypted.
- Update InventoryManager to fully support allow_empty_plain and prevent
accidental overwriting or encrypting existing VaultScalar or dict values.
- Add full-size implementation of cli/create/inventory.py including
dynamic inventory building, role filtering, host_vars management, and
parallelised credential snippet generation.
- Fix schemas (Magento, Nextcloud, OAuth2-Proxy, keyboard-color, etc.) to
align with the new credential model and avoid test failures.
- Improve get_app_conf consistency by ensuring credentials.* paths are
always resolvable for applications even when config/main.yml is empty.
### Added Test Coverage
- Unit tests for defaults generator handling empty configs.
- Full test suite for create/inventory.py including merge logic and
vault-safe host_vars loading.
- Extensive tests for InventoryManager: plain-secret behavior,
vault handling, and recursion logic.
- Update or remove outdated tests referencing old schema behaviour.
### Context
This commit is associated with a refactoring and debugging session documented here:
