Kevin Veen-Birkenbach e09f561f0b Refactor run-once orchestration and bootstrap Mailu/Mastodon in a single deploy
- Replace legacy utils/run_once.yml with the new helpers utils/once_flag.yml and utils/once_finalize.yml
- Introduce utils/compose_up.yml to ensure docker-compose stacks are up and to flush handlers safely without coupling to run-once flags
- Migrate all affected roles (desk-*, dev-*, sys-ctl-*, sys-svc-*, web-app-*, web-svc-*, util-*) to the new run-once helpers
- Rework sys-svc-msmtp to auto-load Mailu once per deploy, check reachability, and reuse the running stack instead of requiring multiple playbook passes
- Adjust web-app-mailu to integrate cert deployment, handler flushing, and run-once handling so Mailu is fully initialized in a single deploy
- Improve Matomo, CDN, logout and CSP/health-check related roles to cooperate with the new compose_up / once_* pattern
- Simplify alarm/backup/timer/service orchestration (sys-ctl-alm-*, sys-bkp-provider, sys-timer-cln-bkps, etc.) by moving run-once logic into dedicated 01_core.yml files
- Update integration tests so utils/once_flag.yml and utils/once_finalize.yml are recognised as valid run-once providers, keeping the global run_once_* guarantees consistent
- Align frontend injection and service dependencies so Mastodon- and Mailu-related services can be brought up coherently within a single deployment cycle rather than several iterations

Postfix

Description

This role installs and configures Postfix a mail transfer agent on the target system. It deploys a preconfigured aliases file (using a Jinja2 template) that defines mail redirections and standard aliases for local mail delivery.

Overview

Optimized for secure and reliable mail delivery, this role:

  • Installs Postfix via pacman.
  • Provides a default aliases file to route system mail appropriately.
  • Configures essential Postfix parameters via a templated main configuration file (if needed).

Purpose

The primary purpose of this role is to set up a robust mail transfer agent configuration for local mail delivery. It ensures that system-generated mail (such as error messages) is delivered to the correct administrative address.

Features

  • Postfix Installation: Ensures the Postfix package is installed.
  • Aliases Configuration: Deploys a default aliases file to direct system mail.
  • System Integration: Works in conjunction with the administrator user role for secure mail routing.
