kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5.5 d6c207f395 fix(svc-swarm-node): reload the ingress guard without a role include
Every swarm deploy of PR #1114 stopped at the sys-svc-compose handler that
reloads the guard after `docker stack deploy`:

    [ERROR]: Using 'ansible.builtin.include_role' as a handler is not supported.
    Origin: roles/svc-swarm-node/tasks/utils/ingress_guard/refresh.yml:9:3

The handler includes refresh.yml, and ansible-core refuses a role include
anywhere below a handler (playbook/helpers.py: `use_handlers` propagates
into included task files). The join path ran the same file as a plain task
and passed, which is why the guard loaded before the join and failed only
after the first stack deploy (CI run 39754950746: SuiteCRM#2 on CentOS and
the workspace job's MariaDB swarm drill on Fedora).

refresh.yml now includes svc-net-firewall's 02_fragment.yml as a task file.
The fragment's naming (directory, source, file, table) lives in the role's
vars/main.yml, which a task include does not load, so refresh.yml reads that
file through include_vars under its own name and hands the four values to the
include. The vars file stays the single definition, and the namespaced load
cannot shadow FIREWALL_FRAGMENT_ROLE for a later include of the role.

Docker Swarm

Description

Docker Swarm is Docker's built-in clustering and container-orchestration mode. It groups multiple Docker hosts into a single virtual host that can schedule services, replicate tasks, and route traffic via an internal mesh.

Overview

This role bootstraps and manages a Docker Swarm cluster across the hosts in the Ansible group svc-swarm-node. The manager is the single host in svc-swarm-manager; every other group member joins as a worker. Membership is expressed via group membership only, never via duplicated lists in group_vars. Inventory node labels are pushed to the cluster after the join phase.

Cosmos

The diagram places Docker Swarm 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).

    svc_node -- "1:1" --> dpt_svc_registry_docker
    svc_node -. "0..1" .-> dpt_svc_swarm_manager

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

  • Single-manager bootstrap: Initialises the cluster on the manager with the configured advertise address; idempotent on re-runs.
  • Auto-derived workers: svc-swarm-node - svc-swarm-manager yields the worker set; no separate worker_nodes list to drift.
  • Token publishing: Manager-fetched worker/manager join tokens are published as facts to every cluster member.
  • Node labels: Per-host labels declared via swarm_node_labels in inventory are applied to the joining node.
  • Mode-selection trigger: Membership in svc-swarm-node resolves DEPLOYMENT_MODE = swarm for every web-app role on that host.
  • Ingress guard: An nftables table drops packets from outside the cluster to every routing-mesh port no application declares under ports.public. Loopback, the Docker bridges and the swarm nodes' own addresses stay admitted. The table is loaded before a node joins and reloaded on every node after the join and after each stack deploy.

Quick Setup

Development

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

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

Production

Install Docker Swarm 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=svc-swarm-node
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
