A curl against an accepted-but-silent peer hangs forever: task retries
never fire because the first attempt never returns, and the CI job dies
at the 6h runner cut (proven by the mailu admin-API hang that took the
suitecrm/peertube swarm legs down). The new `curl` filter renders the
hardened base command ("{{ 30 | curl }}" -> curl -s --connect-timeout 5
--max-time 30); scaling composes with lookup('timeout').
test_curl_via_filter enforces it: bare curl invocations in role tasks,
templates and shipped scripts fail the lint with a pointer to the
filter. Plain .sh files, which cannot render Jinja, pass by pinning
--max-time inline; Docker healthchecks are exempt (their timeout field
caps them); `# nocheck: curl-timeout` opts out (catalogued in
suppression.md).
Convert all 34 existing invocations: mailu (replacing the short-lived
MAILU_CURL var), elasticsearch, checkmk, yourls (300s for the
schema-creating installer POST), the telegram alert script, and the
plain scripts of jellyfin, svc-runner, apt_repo, moodle (600s tarball)
and the mattermost provisioner. Mailu's user/token tasks additionally
carry task-level timeouts so a wedged container exec cannot stall the
play.

Custom Filter Plugins for Infinito.Nexus
This directory contains custom Ansible filter plugins used within the Infinito.Nexus project.
When to Use a Filter Plugin
- Transform values: Use filters to transform, extract, reformat, or compute values from existing variables or facts.
- Inline data manipulation: Filters are designed for inline use in Jinja2 expressions (in templates, tasks, vars, etc.).
- No external lookups: Filters only operate on data you explicitly pass to them and cannot access external files, the Ansible inventory, or runtime context.
Examples
{{ role_name | get_entity_name }}
{{ my_list | unique }}
{{ user_email | regex_replace('^(.+)@.*$', '\\1') }}
When not to Use a Filter Plugin
- If you need to load data from an external source (e.g., file, environment, API), use a lookup plugin instead.
- If your logic requires access to inventory, facts, or host-level information that is not passed as a parameter.
