The Production block never set one. inventory provision writes only
ansible_connection for a local host, so DOMAIN_PRIMARY stayed at the
group_vars default of infinito.localhost and the deployment served a zone its
own resolver knows nothing about. CoreDNS templates answers for
INFINITO_DOMAIN_RE and nothing else, so every lookup of the deployment's own
name came back NXDOMAIN.
Mastodon is where that surfaced. tootctl accounts create validates the address
through EmailMxValidator, which resolves MX and then, for the domain itself,
A and AAAA. All six queries returned NXDOMAIN in run 33574056480, the
validator recorded email :unreachable, and the admin account was never created.
Only the guide rows were affected: the matrix rows write
DOMAIN_PRIMARY: "{{ lookup('env', 'INFINITO_DOMAIN') }}" into their host_vars
and resolve fine.
The template now carries DOMAIN=<your-domain> in both the host and the
container form and threads it into --vars, with the container form passing it
through the docker run boundary as well. The two guide runners substitute it
the way they already substitute the SSH key, so the replay deploys under
INFINITO_DOMAIN like every other CI deploy. compose_deploy.sh moves its env
load ahead of the substitutions to have the value; host_deploy.sh had no env
load at all.
A production reader is asked for a domain now instead of silently inheriting
infinito.localhost, which no real deployment wants either. The shipped default
keeps its value: sys-svc-nss documents that *.localhost resolves through the
myhostname NSS module without any zone, and host-side tasks lean on it.

World Wide Web
Description
Automates the creation of NGINX server blocks that redirect all www. subdomains to their non-www equivalents. Simple, idempotent, and SEO-friendly! 🚀
Overview
This role will:
- Discover existing
*.confvhosts in your NGINX servers directory - Filter domains with or without your
DOMAIN_PRIMARY - Generate redirect rules via the
web-opt-rdr-domainsrole - Optionally include a wildcard redirect template (experimental) ⭐️
- Clean up leftover configs when running in cleanup mode 🧹
All tasks are guarded by “run once” facts and MODE_CLEANUP flags to avoid unintended re-runs or stale files.
Cosmos
The diagram places World Wide Web 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
Ensure that any request to www.example.com automatically and permanently redirects to https://example.com, improving user experience, SEO, and certificate management. 🎯
Features
- Auto-Discovery: Scans your NGINX
serversdirectory for.conffiles. 🔍 - Dynamic Redirects: Builds
source: "www.domain"→target: "domain"mappings on the fly. 🔧 - Wildcard Redirect: Includes a templated wildcard server block for
www.*domains (toggleable). ✨ - Cleanup Mode: Removes the wildcard config file when
CERTBOT_FLAVORis set todedicatedandMODE_CLEANUPis enabled. 🗑️ - Debug Output: Optional
MODE_DEBUGgives detailed variable dumps for troubleshooting. 🐛
Quick Setup
Development
Clone, set up the workstation, and deploy World Wide Web onto the local stack:
git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
make onboard
make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps=web-opt-rdr-www full_cycle=false
Production
Install World Wide Web 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=web-opt-rdr-www
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
