sys-service

Description

Role to manage systemd service units for Infinito.Nexus software stacks. It installs or removes unit files, configures runtime behavior, and ensures services are properly deployed.

Overview

Resets service units by removing old or obsolete definitions.
Deploys new service unit files and service scripts.
Optionally sets up timers linked to the services.
Ensures correct reload/restart behavior across the stack.
Provides the shared files/debug.sh SPOT for reusable service-failure diagnostics.
Exposes tasks/utils/debug.yml as the canonical Ansible wrapper around that script.

Cosmos

The diagram places sys-service 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); red 0..0 edges are turned off in this role. 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.

Features

Unit Cleanup: Automated removal of old service units.
Custom Templates: Supports both systemctl.service.j2 and systemctl@.service.j2.
Timers: Integrates with sys-timer for scheduled execution.
Runtime Limits: Configurable RuntimeMaxSec per service.
Handlers: Automatic reload/restart of services when definitions change.
Shared Diagnostics: Centralized systemctl/journalctl/unit-file diagnostics via files/debug.sh.
Wrapper Task: Reusable Ansible include in tasks/utils/debug.yml for calling and printing the shared diagnostics.
