The NFS backup rsynced the whole export and honoured only one exclude, the
shared backup root. Volumes declared `backup: false` were copied anyway and
then pulled a second time by remote-2-local; in the swarm DR drill of
Magento#0 (run 40625679270) docs_sites alone (a full repo clone plus its
prepared and work trees) took about 15.5 GiB per copy and filled the
runner. The volume backup already skipped these through the backup_volume
lookup; only the NFS path ignored the declaration.

- utils/storage/nfs.py: volume_dir() names the state directory a volume
  binds to (pinned name or key), shared with compose_volumes;
  backup_disabled_dirs() returns every NFS-backed `backup: false` volume
  dir that no backed-up volume also binds to.
- The role-local lookup backup_nfs_excludes feeds them into
  BKP_NFS_2_LOCAL_EXCLUDES next to the backup root; script.sh takes any
  number of excludes. Compose installs still pass only the backup root.
- recover.py protects every live state directory the snapshot does not
  hold, so `rsync --delete` keeps the excluded volumes (model weights,
  the docs tree, caches) and volumes created after the snapshot instead
  of wiping them.
- The swarm DR drill restores BACKUP_NFS_VOLUME, the first NFS volume
  not declared `backup: false`; PRIMARY_NFS_VOLUME stays for the drain
  tests. BookWyrm now drills bookwyrm_media; decidim, fusiondirectory,
  meta, coturn, svc-registry-cache and svc-registry-docker have nothing
  backed up on NFS and skip the drill.

Measured: compose_volumes renders identically before and after for 291
roles across compose/swarm x local/nfs (1940 of 1940); the 15 excluded
directories are exactly the backup-disabled device dirs; the systemd unit
renders shell-safe on ansible-core 2.20 and 2.21 and stays byte-identical
in compose and swarm-local. A new unit test runs the real script.sh over
two generations and the real recover.py back into the export, and fails
without the restore protection.

Shared Utilities (utils/)

This directory contains shared Python helpers used by custom modules and plugins.

Purpose

Use utils/ for reusable code that should not be duplicated across:

  • library/ modules,
  • plugins/action/,
  • plugins/filter/,
  • plugins/lookup/.

Typical shared utilities:

  • API clients,
  • validation/conversion helpers,
  • path and configuration helpers,
  • cross-plugin/module domain logic.
  • Shared HTTP(S) connection handler for multiple modules.
  • Common validation or transformation functions for user input.
  • Utility functions for interacting with Docker, LDAP, etc.
  • Grouped helper packages such as utils/domains/ for related domain logic.

Design Guidelines

  • Keep helpers focused and composable.
  • Avoid side effects during import.
  • Prefer explicit function/class APIs over implicit globals.
  • Keep dependencies minimal so modules/plugins stay lightweight.

Example Import

from utils.domains.primary_domain import get_primary_domain

What Does Not Belong Here

  • Standalone executable modules (put in library/).
  • Ansible plugin entrypoints (put in plugins/*).
