Kevin Veen-Birkenbach 8baec17562 web-app-taiga: extract admin bootstrap into dedicated task; add robust upsert path
Add roles/web-app-taiga/tasks/01_administrator.yml to handle admin creation via 'createsuperuser' and, on failure, an upsert fallback using 'manage.py shell'. Ensures email, is_staff, is_superuser, is_active are set and password is updated when needed; emits CHANGED marker for idempotence.

Update roles/web-app-taiga/tasks/main.yml to include the new 01_administrator.yml task file, removing the inline admin logic for better separation of concerns.

Uses taiga-manage helper service and composes docker-compose.yml with docker-compose-inits.yml to inherit env/networks/volumes consistently.

Taiga

Description

Taiga is a powerful and intuitive open-source project management platform tailored for agile teams. Whether you're practicing Scrum, Kanban, or a custom hybrid workflow, Taiga offers a rich, customizable environment to plan, track, and collaborate on your projects — without the complexity of enterprise tools or the vendor lock-in of SaaS platforms.

This Ansible role deploys Taiga in a Docker-based environment, allowing fast, reproducible, and secure installations. It also optionally integrates OpenID Connect (OIDC) for single sign-on via providers like Keycloak.


Why Taiga?

Taiga is ideal for developers, designers, and agile teams who want:

  • Beautiful UI: Clean, modern, and responsive interface.
  • 📌 Agile Workflows: Supports Scrum, Kanban, Scrumban, and Epics.
  • 🗃️ Backlog & Sprint Management: Create user stories, tasks, and sprints with ease.
  • 📈 Burn-down Charts & Metrics: Monitor velocity and progress.
  • 🔄 Custom Workflows: Define your own states, priorities, and permissions.
  • 📎 Attachments & Wiki: Collaborate with file uploads and internal documentation.
  • 🔐 SSO/Authentication Plugins: OpenID Connect, LDAP, GitHub, GitLab and more.
  • 🌍 Multilingual UI: Used by teams worldwide.

Purpose

This role automates the deployment and configuration of a complete, production-ready Taiga stack using Docker Compose. It ensures integration with common infrastructure tools such as Nginx, PostgreSQL, and RabbitMQ, while optionally enabling OpenID Connect authentication for enterprise-grade SSO.

By using this role, teams can set up Taiga in minutes on Arch Linux systems — whether in a homelab, dev environment, or production cluster.
