Replaces the raw package modules at 76 call sites with package_install, moves
each role's distribution mapping into its own meta/packages.yml, and turns the
inventory PACKAGES variable from source-keyed literal names into a list of
declared package ids. The lint that forbids the raw modules is enabled here,
because the migration burns it down from 76 offenders to zero.

Removes sys-aur, sys-aur-install and sys-package. The AUR build user, the
passwordless pacman rule and the inventory-driven install are part of the plan
the action plugin executes, so the roles no longer carry them.

Declaring the mappings surfaced breakage the raw modules had hidden: on Debian
the `which` binary comes from debianutils, jrnl is in no Debian or Ubuntu
suite, chromium-browser is absent from Debian stable, JDK 11 is unobtainable on
RedHat, wireguard had no RedHat branch at all, qbittorrent was built from the
AUR although Arch ships it in extra, and desk-docker installed a Docker variant
that conflicts with the one sys-svc-container installs.

Sudo

Description

This role installs the sudo package and deploys a default sudoers file to ensure secure and consistent privilege escalation on the target system. It uses a preconfigured sudoers file that follows best practices and includes directives to read drop-in files from /etc/sudoers.d.

Overview

Optimized for security and ease of administration, this role guarantees that sudo is installed and configured according to recommended practices. The provided sudoers file includes essential comments, host/user aliases, and defaults to help prevent misconfigurations.

Cosmos

The diagram places Sudo in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments). Node markers show the role's deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.

Purpose

The primary purpose of this role is to ensure that the target system has a reliable sudo configuration. By installing the sudo package and deploying a standard sudoers file, the role facilitates proper administrative access and minimizes potential security risks.

Features

  • Sudo Package Installation: Installs the sudo package if it is not already present.
  • Default Sudoers Configuration: Deploys a default sudoers file with best-practice settings.
  • Drop-in Inclusion: Ensures that configuration files from /etc/sudoers.d are included.
  • Security Focus: Provides commented guidelines to avoid common sudo misconfigurations.
