Root cause of the DinD DNS-check failure on test-deploy-server
(networks.internet.ip4 falling through to 127.0.0.1 despite
INFINITO_IP4=172.30.0.10 reaching every link of the env pipeline):

  cli/administration/inventory/provision/cli.py declared --ip4 with a
  hardcoded default of "127.0.0.1" and ensure_host_vars_file wrote that
  value unconditionally into host_vars/<host>.yml. group_vars'
  defaults_networks.internet.ip4 resolves "172.30.0.10" via
  \`lookup('env', 'INFINITO_IP4')\`, but tasks/stages/01_constructor.yml
  merges \`defaults_networks | combine(networks | default({}, true))\` so
  host_vars wins. INFINITO_IP4 looked broken end-to-end; the breakage
  actually lived in the provision-CLI host_vars overlay.

  INFINITO_DNS_IP and INFINITO_DOMAIN propagated correctly because
  the provision CLI had no --dns and the --primary-domain write was
  None-gated and never invoked.

While here, --ssl-disabled and --primary-domain are removed too:
neither had any effect in the dev flow. provision/cli.py applies
\`--vars-file inventories/development/default.yml\` AFTER
ensure_host_vars_file via apply_vars_overrides_from_file, whose
_deep_update_commented_map unconditionally overwrites
(\`target[key] = value\`). The dev vars-file always set
\`TLS_ENABLED: true\`, so \`--ssl-disabled\` (which forced
\`TLS_ENABLED: false\` in host_vars) was systematically reverted to
true. Dev/CI ran with TLS enabled the whole time. Inventory stays at
\`TLS_ENABLED: true\` to preserve that effective behaviour.

Removed from cli/administration/inventory/provision/cli.py:
- --ip4, --ip6: defaulted to 127.0.0.1 / ::1, shadowed group_vars
- --primary-domain: never set by any caller, None-gated write
- --ssl-disabled: always re-overwritten by --vars-file later in the
  same provision pass

Removed from cli/administration/inventory/provision/host_vars.py the
matching writes in ensure_host_vars_file; the function now only sets
\`ansible_connection: local\` for localhost-class hosts. Defaults for
DOMAIN_PRIMARY / TLS_ENABLED / networks.internet.{ip4,ip6} live in
group_vars (env-driven) and the inventory vars-file (deployment-wide
flags); host_vars stops duplicating them.

Callers cleaned up:
- cli/administration/deploy/development/inventory/builder.py
- cli/administration/deploy/container/command.py
- scripts/tests/deploy/local/utils/fresh-kept-all-init-and-deploy.sh
- scripts/tests/deploy/local/reset/inventory.sh

Tests + docs follow:
- tests/unit/cli/administration/inventory/provision/test_host_vars.py
  now asserts host_vars no longer carries baked DOMAIN_PRIMARY /
  TLS_ENABLED / networks defaults
- docs/administration/deploy.md drops --ssl-disabled from the
  provision example
- docs/contributing/design/inventory.md re-scopes the host_vars
  column: the DOMAIN_PRIMARY / TLS_ENABLED / networks.internet.{ip4,ip6}
  values arrive via --vars / --vars-file overlays, otherwise group_vars
  provides the env-driven default

Deploy Guide 🚀

Use this guide to create inventories, run a full deploy, and redeploy an existing environment with infinito commands only. The audience is the operator running deploys against a managed (production or staging) host. Contributors iterating on a local development stack should follow Local Deploy instead.

Full Deploy 📦

Create or refresh the inventory first, then deploy against the generated inventory file.

Create or Refresh the Inventory 📝

infinito administration inventory provision /etc/infinito.nexus/inventories/prod \
  --inventory-file /etc/infinito.nexus/inventories/prod/devices.yml \
  --host localhost \
  --vars-file inventories/<env>/default.yml \
  --include 'web-app-nextcloud,web-app-keycloak'

Run the Deploy 🛠️

infinito administration deploy dedicated /etc/infinito.nexus/inventories/prod/devices.yml \
  --password-file /etc/infinito.nexus/inventories/prod/.password \
  --log /etc/infinito.nexus/logs \
  --diff \
  -vv

Redeploy 🔁

When you need to redeploy after changes, repeat the same two infinito commands:

  1. Re-run infinito administration inventory provision ... to refresh the inventory file and included app list.
  2. Re-run infinito administration deploy dedicated ... against the same inventory file.

Inventory Notes 📒

  • Keep one inventory directory per environment.
  • Store the password file next to the inventory file.
  • Update --include whenever the target app set changes.
  • Use a --vars-file that matches the target environment. Production deploys MUST NOT point at the development sample file.

For CLI installation prerequisites, see the Installation Guide. For the local development deploy flow (make targets, matrix variants, single-variant pinning), see Local Deploy.
