kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5.5 37e1a178a5 fix(roles): give every dependency loop a role-unique loop_var
Seventeen roles looped their dependency includes as dependency_role, and several of them reach each other (svc-bkp-* -> sys-ctl-cln-bkps -> sys-ctl-alm-compose, sys-svc-webserver-https -> sys-svc-cln-domains), so full-4 warned 'The loop variable dependency_role is already in use' three times. Each loop now names its item <role>_dependency. A new lint follows looped include_role targets transitively and refuses an outer loop_var that a reached role loops with again.

Webserver HTTPS Provisioning

Description

The sys-svc-webserver-https role extends a basic NGINX installation by wiring in everything you need to serve content over HTTPS:

  1. Ensures your NGINX server is configured for SSL/TLS.
  2. Pulls in Let’s Encrypt ACME challenge handling.
  3. Applies global cleanup of unused domain configs.

This role is built on top of your existing sys-svc-webserver-core role, and it automates the end-to-end process of turning HTTP sites into secure HTTPS sites.


Overview

When you apply sys-svc-webserver-https, it will:

  1. Include the sys-svc-webserver-core role to install and configure NGINX.
  2. Clean up any stale vHost files under sys-svc-cln-domains.
  3. Deploy the Let’s Encrypt challenge-and-redirect snippet from sys-svc-letsencrypt.
  4. Reload NGINX automatically when any template changes.

All tasks are idempotent. Once your certificates are in place and your configuration is set, Ansible will skip unchanged steps on subsequent runs.


Cosmos

The diagram places Webserver HTTPS Provisioning 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).

    end

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.

Features

  • 🔒 Automatic HTTPS Redirect
    Sets up port 80 → 443 redirect and serves /.well-known/acme-challenge/ for Certbot.

  • 🔑 Let’s Encrypt Integration
    Pulls in challenge configuration and CAA-record management for automatic certificate issuance and renewal.

  • 🧹 Domain Cleanup
    Removes obsolete or orphaned server blocks before enabling HTTPS.

  • 🚦 Handler-Safe
    Triggers an NGINX reload only when necessary, minimizing service interruptions.
