Root cause of step-08 deploy failures across all 4 test-development
distros in run 26572559126: `make compose-deploy mode=reinstall
apps=web-app-dashboard INFINITO_SERVICES_DISABLED=matomo` (step 07)
made make export the cmdline var into the recipe's shell env, which
reached `runner.py` → `make setup` → `make dotenv`. The dotenv
generator's `setdefault` then baked the runtime-only value into the
on-disk `.env`. Step 08 sourced that .env, filtered `web-app-matomo`
out of its primary apps, and exited with "All primary apps disabled".
Fix:
- Drop the 7 routing knobs (apps, mode, purge, bundles, disable,
full_cycle, variant) from `passthrough.STATIC_KEYS` and from
`default.env`. They are per-invocation; .env is the persistent SPOT
and must not capture them.
- Switch every consumer from `os.environ["KEY"]` strict access to
`os.environ.get("KEY", "")` so the missing-key path stops at "no
filter" instead of a KeyError.
- Rename the env-var surface to match the make-alias surface 1:1
(lowercase): INFINITO_APPS → apps, INFINITO_SERVICES_DISABLED →
disable, INFINITO_BUNDLES → bundles, INFINITO_FULL_CYCLE →
full_cycle, INFINITO_VARIANT → variant, INFINITO_DEPLOY_MODE → mode,
INFINITO_PURGE_ENTITIES → purge. The make alias was the user-facing
name in every doc; routing-knob env vars now use the same name so
the cmdline form, the recipe env-prefix, and the consumer reads
all line up.
- Collapse the Makefile `compose-deploy` recipe to just the two
knobs whose alias differs from the env name (`type` →
INFINITO_DEPLOY_TYPE, `debug` → INFINITO_DEBUG). GNU Make
auto-exports cmdline variables into the recipe's shell env, so the
identical-name `$(if $(apps),apps="$(apps)")` lines were pure
noise.
- Drop `disable: ${disable}` from compose.yml. The dev CLI builds
`extra_env` per `docker exec` call and forwards `disable` via
`-e`, so the container env never needs the value frozen at
compose-up time.
- Update the 3 actual leak call sites
(07/08/09_deploy_*.sh) to the make-alias form
(`disable=matomo`, `full_cycle=true`, `variant=1`).
- Add `SIM112` to ruff's ignore set: the lowercase env names are
the deliberate make/env parity, not a typo.
Repro before fix: `INFINITO_SERVICES_DISABLED=matomo make dotenv`
wrote `INFINITO_SERVICES_DISABLED=matomo` to `.env`. After fix:
`disable=matomo make dotenv` leaves `.env` untouched.
Tests: `make test` and `make autoformat` green (2711 tests, 8 lint
sub-targets).

Local Deploy 🚀
Contributor guidance for running deploys against a local development stack on your workstation. For production deploy guidance see the Deploy Guide. For the agent-driven role iteration loop see role.md. For the matrix-variant mechanism that this page references throughout see variants.md.
Entry Points 🧭
Two layers exist for invoking a local deploy:
| Layer | When to use |
|---|---|
make compose-deploy in the Makefile |
Default. Single entry point routed by main.sh. For the full Make-variable surface (apps, mode, purge, type, bundles, disable, full_cycle, variant) run make help target=compose-deploy. |
infinito administration deploy development <subcommand> (Python CLI) |
Direct invocation when you need a flag the make target does not expose, or when you script multi-step flows yourself. |
The make target ultimately calls the same CLI, so any behaviour described here applies to both.
First-Run Baseline 📦
Use mode=reinstall to bring up a clean slate (cycles the dev stack and purges shared entities first):
make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps="<role> <role>" full_cycle=true
full_cycle=trueadds the async update pass (pass 2) and SHOULD stay on for the baseline. The behaviour, per-variant interleaving, and--full-cycleflag mechanics are documented in variants.md.- The router runs init, then deploy. Init materialises the inventory under
${INFINITO_INVENTORY_DIR}(resolved bymake dotenvvia resolve.sh; see variables.md). - For roles with a
roles/<role>/meta/variants.ymlthe init step produces one inventory folder per variant; the deploy step iterates them. Folder layout, round semantics, cleanup rules, and the link to the file-format reference live in variants.md.
Edit / Fix / Redeploy Loop 🔁
Default redeploy after a local code change:
make compose-deploy mode=update apps="<role>"
- Reuses the existing inventory, keeps app state, runs the deploy only.
- For multi-variant roles you MUST set
variant=<idx>(see Pinning A Single Variant) so the reuse path targets the round's folder. Withoutvariant=, the reuse target points at<INFINITO_INVENTORY_DIR>which only exists for single-variant roles.
If the reuse path keeps reproducing the same failure and you want to test whether app entity state is involved:
make compose-deploy mode=update apps="<role>" purge=true
This purges the app's containers + volumes + Ansible-managed state on the host, then re-deploys. Use it once, then return to mode=update without purge=true. Do NOT loop with purge=true; if the failure survives a single purge it is not a state issue.
Only return to mode=reinstall when you have concrete evidence that the inventory or the host stack itself is broken (for example DNS or network failures during the deploy).
Pinning A Single Variant 🎯
For multi-variant roles you MAY restrict any of the make compose-deploy invocations above (and the dev CLI subcommands) to a single matrix round by setting variant=<idx>:
# Variant 1 baseline only (no full matrix):
make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps="<role>" full_cycle=true variant=1
# Edit-fix-redeploy loop pinned to that variant:
make compose-deploy mode=update apps="<role>" variant=1
Pinning is sticky: when iterating with variant=<idx>, you MUST set it on every command in the iteration. Mixing pinned and unpinned commands silently retargets a different folder. The full semantics (single-folder mode, no inter-round cleanup, out-of-range error) live in variants.md.
Direct CLI Invocation ⚙️
When you need a flag the make wrappers do not expose, call the dev CLI directly:
infinito administration deploy development init --inventory-dir "${INFINITO_INVENTORY_DIR}" --apps "<role>"
infinito administration deploy development deploy --inventory-dir "${INFINITO_INVENTORY_DIR}" --apps "<role>" [--variant <idx>] [--debug]
--inventory-diris always the BASE path. The wrapper appends the-<round>suffix internally for matrix folders.--variant <idx>pins to one round (same semantics as thevariant=make arg).- The CLI prints the planned folder list at init time and the per-round summary at deploy time, so you can confirm the matrix shape before any work happens.
Inspect Live State 🔍
Use make compose-exec to drop into the running container shell. The repo is mounted at /opt/src/infinito, so code changes are visible immediately. Inspect logs and current state BEFORE redeploying so the failing snapshot stays available.
For TLS-enabled local sites, run make network-trust-ca once after the first deploy and restart the browser; alternatively use curl -k on the command line.
