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.

README.md

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 .service and .timer units 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_msmtp variable.
Email Destination: Specify the recipient via the users.administrator.email variable.
