Kevin Veen-Birkenbach aa19a97ed6 CORS/CSP hardening & centralization
- Add reusable Nginx include: roles/sys-svc-proxy/templates/headers/access_control_allow.conf.j2
  (dynamic ACAO/credentials/methods/headers via role vars)
- Set global 'Vary: Origin' in nginx.conf.j2 to prevent cache poisoning
- CSP: allow Simple Icons via connect-src when feature is enabled
- Front proxy: rename vars to lowercase + flush handlers after config deploy
- Desktop: gate & load Simple Icons role; inject brand logos when enabled
- Bluesky + Logout: replace inline CORS with centralized include
- Simpleicons: public CORS (ACAO='*', no credentials), keep GET/OPTIONS, allow headers
- Taiga: adjust canonical domain to taiga.kanban.{{ PRIMARY_DOMAIN }}
- LibreTranslate: remove unused images/versions keys

Webserver

This Ansible role installs and configures Nginx as a core HTTP/stream server on Arch Linux systems. It provides:

  • HTTP serving with MIME types, gzip compression, caching, and custom nginx.conf templating.
  • TCP/UDP stream support via the Nginx Streams module.
  • Directory management for configuration, sites-available/enabled, cache, and data.
  • Debugging helpers: log formats and instructions for general and detailed troubleshooting.

Features

  • Package installation of nginx and nginx-mod-stream.
  • Idempotent setup: tasks run only once per host.
  • Configurable reset and cleanup modes to purge and recreate directories.
  • Custom nginx.conf template with sensible defaults for performance and security.
  • Stream proxy support: includes stream block for TCP/UDP proxies.
  • Cache directory management: cleanup and recreation based on MODE_CLEANUP.

Debugging Tips

  • General logs: journalctl -f -u nginx
  • Filter by host: journalctl -u nginx -f | grep "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
  • Enable detailed format: set MODE_DEBUG: true and reload Nginx.
