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.

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.
