The root-README overview renders a Video link per role and a reader following it expects a demo, but 26 of the 62 entries addressed a channel, a playlist or a product page: youtube.com/@zammadhq, /channel/UC..., framatube.org/c/mobilizon/videos, pgadmin.org/videos. None of those can be embedded and none shows the product without a second click. Each replacement was resolved through YouTube's oEmbed endpoint, which returns the real title and channel, so a candidate could be checked rather than assumed. That caught a supposed LibreOffice intro published by an unrelated channel, a Discourse overview belonging to a hosting vendor, and a Zoom video answering 403 with embedding disabled. Fourteen of the new entries come from the vendor itself and two are PeerTube. The reachability half needed the same endpoint for a different reason: YouTube answers a removed video with HTTP 200 and a Video-unavailable page, so a plain fetch proves only that YouTube is up, while oEmbed answers 400. Measured both ways before relying on it. The check is external because reachability needs live HTTP, and like its siblings it reports an unanswered probe as unverified rather than failing, so a firewalled runner cannot redden a good URL. Only the shape is asserted, because that is a repository fact. README.md follows rather than leads: overview.py renders the Video column from this field.

OBS Studio
Description
OBS Studio is a free, open-source application for video recording and live streaming, widely used for screencasts, broadcasting, and content creation.
Overview
This role installs the OBS Studio desktop application on Pacman-based workstations through the system package manager. It targets the desktop tier and does not configure scenes, capture devices, or streaming profiles.
Cosmos
The diagram places OBS Studio in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments); red 0..0 edges are turned off in this role. Node markers show the role's deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.
Features
- Streaming and recording: Provides the upstream OBS Studio binary for both live broadcasting and local recording.
- Pacman integration: Installs the
obs-studiopackage via the standard system package manager. - Workstation scope: Targets the desktop tier (
desk-*) and stays out of server inventories. - No state changes beyond install: Does not enable services or write per-user OBS configuration.
Quick Setup
Development
Clone, set up the workstation, and deploy OBS Studio onto the local stack:
git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
make onboard
make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps=desk-obs full_cycle=false
Production
Install OBS Studio directly onto the target machine: clone the repository, install the OS prerequisites and the repository toolchain, then deploy against localhost over a local connection (no SSH, no container):
git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
bash scripts/install/package.sh
make install
source scripts/meta/env/load.sh
APP=desk-obs
DOMAIN=<your-domain>
TLS_MODE=self_signed
SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="<your-ssh-public-key>"
INVENTORY=inventories/production
infinito administration inventory provision "$INVENTORY" \
--inventory-file "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
--host localhost \
--include "$APP" \
--vars "{\"TLS_MODE\": \"$TLS_MODE\", \"DOMAIN_PRIMARY\": \"$DOMAIN\", \"users\": {\"administrator\": {\"authorized_keys\": [\"$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY\"]}}}"
infinito administration deploy dedicated "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
--password-file "$INVENTORY/.password" \
--diff -vv
