- Introduced dedicated variables in vars/main.yml: * TAIGA_FLAVOR_TAIGAIO * TAIGA_TAIGAIO_ENABLED - Replaced inline Jinja2 get_app_conf checks with TAIGA_TAIGAIO_ENABLED for consistency in tasks, docker-compose template and env file. - Adjusted env.j2 to use TAIGA_TAIGAIO_ENABLED instead of direct flavor checks. - Enabled css by default (true instead of false). - Cleaned up spacing/indentation in config and env. This improves readability, reduces duplicated logic, and makes it easier to maintain both OIDC flavors (robrotheram, taigaio).

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.
