Front Base (HTTPS + Cloudflare + Handlers) 🚀

Description

sys-stk-front-base bootstraps the front layer that most web-facing apps need:

  • Ensures the HTTPS base via sys-svc-webserver-https
  • (Optional) Cloudflare bootstrap (zone lookup, dev mode, purge)
  • Wires OpenResty/Nginx handlers
  • Leaves per-domain certificate issuance to consumer roles (or pass-through vars to sys-util-csp-cert if needed)

This role is intentionally small and reusable. It prepares the ground so app roles can just render their vHost.

Responsibilities

  • Include sys-svc-webserver-https (once per host)
  • Include Cloudflare tasks when DNS_PROVIDER == "cloudflare"
  • Load handler utilities (e.g., svc-prx-openresty)
  • Stay domain-agnostic: expect domain to be provided by the consumer

Outputs

  • Handler wiring completed
  • HTTPS base ready (Nginx, ACME webroot)
  • Cloudflare prepared (optional)
