New Ansible role rendering one Fediwall instance with one or more configurable walls under https://fediwall.<DOMAIN_PRIMARY>/<slug>/. Each wall's `wall-config.json` is forwarded VERBATIM from meta/services.yml.fediwall.walls[*].config — the YAML there is the single source of truth, the role's template applies no defaults. Two matrix-deploy variants ship: variant 0 inherits the services.yml default (one wall, polls all active Mastodon-API-compatible siblings via the new `lookup('fediwall_active', ...)` plugin); variant 1 overrides with two explicitly configured walls (default + mastodon-only) so the per-wall server scoping is observable end-to-end. End-to-end Playwright spec drives biber's first OIDC login on Mastodon and ldapauth-mediated form login on Friendica through the same web UI a human would use — biber's local accounts come into existence lazily on first SSO login, exactly as in production. The cross-Fediverse test is data-driven against each wall's `wall-config.json.servers`: a sibling's post is visible iff its host is listed there. Cross-cutting fixes that surfaced during the iteration ship alongside: - utils/cache + utils/templating: type-preserving render path for single-Jinja-expression scalars in `lookup('config', ...)`. `_templar_render_best_effort` always coerced its output to `str`, so a list-returning lookup like `{{ lookup('fediwall_active', 'domains') }}` collapsed to its Python repr. `_render_scalar` now detects the `{{ ... }}`-only shape and routes it through the new `_templar_render_preserve_type` helper, which returns templar's native value (list/dict/etc.) instead of stringifying. - web-app-friendica/tasks/04_addons.yml: force a `disable` + `enable` cycle for enabled addons. Friendica's `addon enable` only fires the `_install` hooks on the disabled→enabled transition, so an already-enabled-but-broken state (the addon shows up in `list enabled` but its `_install`-registered hooks are missing from the `hook` DB table) silently rejected every ldapauth login at runtime. Cycling through disable+enable reliably re-registers the hooks. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Shared Utilities (utils/)
This directory contains shared Python helpers used by custom modules and plugins.
Purpose
Use utils/ for reusable code that should not be duplicated across:
library/modules,plugins/action/,plugins/filter/,plugins/lookup/.
Typical shared utilities:
- API clients,
- validation/conversion helpers,
- path and configuration helpers,
- cross-plugin/module domain logic.
- Shared HTTP(S) connection handler for multiple modules.
- Common validation or transformation functions for user input.
- Utility functions for interacting with Docker, LDAP, etc.
- Grouped helper packages such as
utils/domains/for related domain logic.
Design Guidelines
- Keep helpers focused and composable.
- Avoid side effects during import.
- Prefer explicit function/class APIs over implicit globals.
- Keep dependencies minimal so modules/plugins stay lightweight.
Example Import
from utils.domains.primary_domain import get_primary_domain
What Does Not Belong Here
- Standalone executable modules (put in
library/). - Ansible plugin entrypoints (put in
plugins/*).
