Kevin Veen-Birkenbach 716ebef33b Refactor task includes and update variable handling for Ansible 2.20 migration
This commit updates multiple roles to ensure compatibility with Ansible 2.20.
Several include paths and task-loading mechanisms required adjustments,
as Ansible 2.20 applies stricter evaluation rules for complex Jinja expressions
and no longer resolves certain relative include paths the way Ansible 2.18 did.

Key changes:
- Replaced legacy once_finalize.yml and once_flag.yml with the new structure
  under tasks/utils/once/finalize.yml and tasks/utils/once/flag.yml.
- Updated all include_tasks statements to use 'path_join' with playbook_dir,
  ensuring deterministic and absolute file resolution across roles.
- Fixed all network helper includes by converting direct relative paths such as
  'roles/docker-compose/tasks/utils/network.yml' to proper Jinja-evaluated paths.
- Normalized MATOMO_* variable names for consistency with the updated variable
  scope behavior in Ansible 2.20.
- Removed deprecated patterns that were implicitly supported in Ansible 2.18
  but break under the more strict variable and path resolution model in 2.20.

These changes are part of the full migration step required to ensure the
infinito-nexus roles remain stable, deterministic, and forward-compatible with
Ansible 2.20.

Backup Remote to Local

Description

This role pulls backups from a remote server and stores them locally using rsync with retry logic. It is designed to retrieve remote backup data and integrate with your overall backup scheme.

Overview

Optimized for Archlinux, this role is a key component of a comprehensive backup system. It works in conjunction with other roles to ensure that backup data is collected, verified, and maintained. The role uses a Bash script to pull backups, manage remote connections, and handle incremental backup creation.

Purpose

Backup Remote to Local is a robust solution for retrieving backup data from remote servers. By leveraging rsync, it creates incremental backups that support both file and database recovery. This ensures the integrity and security of your backup data across distributed environments.

Features

  • Remote Backup Retrieval: Pulls backups from a remote server using secure SSH connections.
  • Incremental Backup with rsync: Uses rsync with options for archive, backup, and hard linking to efficiently manage changes.
  • Retry Logic: Implements a retry mechanism to handle transient network issues or remote errors.
  • Integration with Other Roles: Works alongside roles like sys-svc-directory-validator, sys-ctl-cln-faild-bkps, sys-timer, sys-bkp-provider, and sys-lock.
  • Administrative Debugging: Detailed debug instructions and administrative tasks are provided in a separate file.
