- Unified service templates into generic systemctl templates - Introduced reusable filter plugins for script path handling - Updated path variables and service/timer definitions - Migrated roles (backup, cleanup, repair, etc.) to use systemctl role - Added sys-daemon role for core systemd cleanup - Simplified timer handling via sys-timer role Note: This is a large refactor and some errors may still exist. Further testing and adjustments will be needed.
sys-ctl-hlth-msmtp
Description
This Ansible role sends periodic health check emails using msmtp to verify that your mail transport agent is operational. It deploys a simple script and hooks it into a systemd service and timer, with failure notifications sent via Telegram.
Overview
Optimized for Archlinux, this role creates the required directory structure, installs and configures the sys-ctl-hlth-check script, and integrates with the sys-ctl-alm-telegram role. It uses the sys-timer role to schedule regular checks based on your customizable OnCalendar setting.
Purpose
The sys-ctl-hlth-msmtp role ensures that your mail transport system stays available by sending a test email at defined intervals. If the email fails, a Telegram alert is triggered, allowing you to detect and address issues before they impact users.
Features
- Directory & Script Deployment: Sets up
sys-ctl-hlth-msmtp/and deploys a templated Bash script to send test emails via msmtp. - Systemd Service & Timer: Provides
.serviceand.timerunits to run the check and schedule it automatically. - Failure Notifications: Leverages sys-ctl-alm-telegram to push alerts when the script exits with an error.
- Configurable Schedule: Define your desired check frequency using the
on_calendar_health_msmtpvariable. - Email Destination: Specify the recipient via the
users.administrator.emailvariable.
