Quick Setup

Development

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

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

Production

Run the published image to provision the inventory and deploy Funkwhale to a managed server (the mounted volume persists the inventory):

APP=web-app-funkwhale
HOST=<your-server>
DOMAIN=<your-domain>
TLS_MODE=self_signed
SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="<your-ssh-public-key>"

docker run --rm -it \
  -v "$PWD/inventories:/etc/infinito.nexus/inventories" \
  -e APP="$APP" -e HOST="$HOST" -e DOMAIN="$DOMAIN" -e TLS_MODE="$TLS_MODE" -e SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY" \
  ghcr.io/infinito-nexus/core/debian bash -c '
    INVENTORY=/etc/infinito.nexus/inventories/production
    infinito administration inventory provision "$INVENTORY" \
      --inventory-file "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
      --host "$HOST" \
      --include "$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'

Persona contract opt-outs

templates/playwright.env.j2 renders PERSONA_BIBER_BLOCKED=true and PERSONA_ADMINISTRATOR_BLOCKED=true in every matrix variant, because the shared persona helper cannot drive this role's sign-in in any of them. Three independent reasons, each sufficient on its own:

The oauth2 ACL in meta/services.yml blacklists only /login, and sys-svc-proxy renders a blacklist as expose everything by default, then protect the listed paths. The helper lands on /, which is public, so the proxy never intercepts it and the Keycloak round trip never starts.
Funkwhale renders its sign-in control as a bare div. The helper matches getByRole("link"|"button"), which cannot select it, so the in-app fallback misses as well.
Application-level authentication is Funkwhale's own LDAP form (templates/env.j2, LDAP_ENABLED), not OIDC. Even a completed Keycloak round trip at the proxy leaves the Funkwhale session anonymous, so no authenticated surface appears.

Earlier revisions gated these blocks on services.sso.enabled, which unblocked the personas in exactly the variant where the chain still does not work.

The journey itself is not dropped. files/playwright/test-native-login.js drives both personas through Funkwhale's own chain: /login, the Keycloak round trip whenever the proxy gates that route, then Funkwhale's own sign-in form, an authenticated-surface assertion, and sign-out back to the anonymous state. It is skipped when services.ldap.enabled is false, because no persona holds a Funkwhale account in that variant. The guest persona and the baseline assertions run unconditionally.
