kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 1d52090d17 test(roles): require one embeddable video per invokable role

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.

RetroArch

Description

RetroArch is a frontend for emulators, game engines, and media players powered by the Libretro framework. It supports multiple UI styles including XMB and Ozone, and provides a unified interface for retro gaming across platforms.

Overview

Designed for retro gaming enthusiasts, this role installs RetroArch along with its core assets and themes on Arch Linux systems. It ensures all UI styles are ready and provides a consistent emulator frontend interface.

Cosmos

The diagram places RetroArch 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.

Purpose

The purpose of this role is to automate the deployment of a full-featured RetroArch environment, reducing manual setup and improving reproducibility across gaming setups.

Features

Installs RetroArch: Including the main RetroArch package and theme assets.
UI Assets Support: Both XMB and Ozone menu styles supported out of the box.

Quick Setup

Development

Clone, set up the workstation, and deploy RetroArch onto the local stack:

git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
make onboard
make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps=desk-retroarch full_cycle=false

Production

Install RetroArch 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-retroarch
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
