### Overview This commit introduces a broad set of improvements across the defaults generator, credential creation subsystem, inventory creation workflow, and InventoryManager core logic. ### Major Changes - Support empty or config/main.yml in defaults generator and ensure that applications with empty configs are still included in defaults_applications. - Add '--snippet' and '--allow-empty-plain' modes to create/credentials.py with non-destructive merging and correct plain-secret handling. - Ensure empty strings for 'plain' credentials are never encrypted. - Update InventoryManager to fully support allow_empty_plain and prevent accidental overwriting or encrypting existing VaultScalar or dict values. - Add full-size implementation of cli/create/inventory.py including dynamic inventory building, role filtering, host_vars management, and parallelised credential snippet generation. - Fix schemas (Magento, Nextcloud, OAuth2-Proxy, keyboard-color, etc.) to align with the new credential model and avoid test failures. - Improve get_app_conf consistency by ensuring credentials.* paths are always resolvable for applications even when config/main.yml is empty. ### Added Test Coverage - Unit tests for defaults generator handling empty configs. - Full test suite for create/inventory.py including merge logic and vault-safe host_vars loading. - Extensive tests for InventoryManager: plain-secret behavior, vault handling, and recursion logic. - Update or remove outdated tests referencing old schema behaviour. ### Context This commit is associated with a refactoring and debugging session documented here: https://chatgpt.com/share/692ec0e1-5018-800f-b568-d09a53e9d0ee
Nextcloud Client ☁️
Description
This Ansible role installs and configures the Nextcloud desktop client on Arch Linux systems. It also manages symbolic links from commonly used user directories (like Documents, Pictures, etc.) to the respective folders inside a cloud-synced Nextcloud directory. This ensures user data is seamlessly integrated into the synchronized cloud folder.
Overview
Targeting user environments on Arch Linux (e.g., Manjaro), this role sets up the official nextcloud-client and dynamically links key directories from the user's home folder to Nextcloud. This makes it easy to use the Nextcloud client without needing to manually configure folders.
Purpose
The purpose of this role is to automate the configuration of cloud-integrated user directories by ensuring that common folders like Downloads, Music, and Workspaces are transparently redirected into a centralized cloud structure. This makes it easier to maintain sys-bkp-friendly, cloud-ready setups for homelab and professional workflows.
Features
- Installs the Nextcloud Desktop Client: Uses
pacmanvia thecommunity.general.pacmanmodule. - Symbolic Linking of User Folders: Maps home folders (e.g.,
Documents,Videos,Workspaces) into their Nextcloud equivalents. - Dynamic Cloud Directory Resolution: Builds the target cloud directory path from user and cloud variables.
- Dump Folder Mapping: Links
InstantUploadfrom the cloud to a~/Dumpfolder for quick camera/file access.
