kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 4.8 07d31d9001 fix(ci): retry-harden every egress path (curl filter, shell downloads, package managers)
Transient CDN/mirror TLS resets are a recurring hard-fail class (docker.com, PyPI). Harden all three egress paths at their SPOT: the curl filter now emits --retry-all-errors (retries=0 opts a call out), so every ansible curl retries; a new lint requires --retry-all-errors on file-downloading curl and --tries on wget in verbatim files/*.sh (which cannot use the filter), fixing the moodle/alias downloads it flagged; and the update role configures native retries for every package manager - apt Acquire::Retries, dnf retries=, pacman XferCommand over retrying curl - covering all five CI distros (ubuntu shares apt, centos shares dnf).

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.
