History
Kevin Veen-Birkenbach 5aaf2d28dc Refactor path handling, service conditions and dependencies 
- Fixed incorrect filter usage in docker-compose handler (proper use of | path_join).
- Improved LetsEncrypt template by joining paths with filenames instead of appending manually.
- Enhanced sys-svc-msmtp task with an additional condition to only run if no-reply mailu_token exists.
- Updated Keycloak meta to depend on Mailu (ensuring token generation before setup).
- Refactored Keycloak import path variables to use path_join consistently.
- Adjusted Mailu meta dependency to run after Matomo instead of Keycloak.

msmtp 📧

Description

This Ansible role installs and configures msmtp and msmtp-mta on Arch Linux systems. It provides a lightweight SMTP client that serves as a drop-in replacement for the traditional sendmail command, enabling reliable email delivery via an external SMTP server. For more background on SMTP, see SMTP on Wikipedia.

Overview

Tailored for Arch Linux, this role uses the pacman package manager to install msmtp and msmtp-mta. It then deploys a pre-configured msmtprc file via a Jinja2 template that defines settings for authentication, TLS, and the target SMTP server. This role is ideal for environments where automated email notifications or direct email sending are required.

Purpose

The purpose of this role is to automate the setup of a lightweight SMTP client that acts as a sendmail replacement. By configuring msmtp, the role facilitates direct email sending using your SMTP server credentials, making it a simple yet effective solution for system notifications and other email-based communications.

Features

  • Installs msmtp and msmtp-mta: Uses pacman to install the required packages.
  • Customizable SMTP Configuration: Deploys a customizable msmtprc configuration file with parameters for TLS, authentication, and server details.
  • Drop-in sendmail Replacement: Configures msmtp to serve as the default sendmail command.
  • Idempotent Setup: Ensures the tasks run only once with internal flagging.
  • Integration Ready: Easily integrates with other system roles within the Infinito.Nexus environment for automated notifications.
