kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 c55f508e05 feat(readme): draw mandatory and disabled service relations
The cosmos generator linked a consumer to its provider only through an
'<role>' in group_names reference or an explicit provides: name. A hard
dependency has neither -- pinning the provider on unconditionally is
exactly what removes the Jinja reference the generator was reading -- so
web-svc-asset's bond to web-svc-file vanished from the diagram the moment
it became binding. Match a service key against the provider's own primary
key from the registry, in both directions.

Services the role turns off drew a solid 1:1 edge, claiming a mandatory
relationship for something that carries nothing at deploy time. They now
render as a red 0..0 edge; edge merging gained a real precedence so a
provider consumed through two keys stays live when only one is off.

Named colour, not hex: a '#' opens an entity code in the mermaid lexer and
turns the whole diagram into a parse error on GitHub.

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); 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.

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.
