- Replace legacy utils/run_once.yml with the new helpers utils/once_flag.yml and utils/once_finalize.yml - Introduce utils/compose_up.yml to ensure docker-compose stacks are up and to flush handlers safely without coupling to run-once flags - Migrate all affected roles (desk-*, dev-*, sys-ctl-*, sys-svc-*, web-app-*, web-svc-*, util-*) to the new run-once helpers - Rework sys-svc-msmtp to auto-load Mailu once per deploy, check reachability, and reuse the running stack instead of requiring multiple playbook passes - Adjust web-app-mailu to integrate cert deployment, handler flushing, and run-once handling so Mailu is fully initialized in a single deploy - Improve Matomo, CDN, logout and CSP/health-check related roles to cooperate with the new compose_up / once_* pattern - Simplify alarm/backup/timer/service orchestration (sys-ctl-alm-*, sys-bkp-provider, sys-timer-cln-bkps, etc.) by moving run-once logic into dedicated 01_core.yml files - Update integration tests so utils/once_flag.yml and utils/once_finalize.yml are recognised as valid run-once providers, keeping the global run_once_* guarantees consistent - Align frontend injection and service dependencies so Mastodon- and Mailu-related services can be brought up coherently within a single deployment cycle rather than several iterations
Nginx Certbot Automation
🔥 Description
This role automates the setup of an automatic Let's Encrypt certificate renewal system for Nginx using Certbot. It ensures that SSL/TLS certificates are renewed seamlessly in the background and that Nginx reloads automatically after successful renewals.
📖 Overview
Optimized for Archlinux systems, this role installs the certbot-nginx package, configures a dedicated systemd service for certificate renewal, and integrates with a sys-timer to schedule periodic renewals. After a renewal, Nginx is reloaded to apply the updated certificates immediately.
Key Features
- Automatic Renewal: Schedules unattended certificate renewals using sys-timers.
- Seamless Nginx Reload: Reloads the Nginx service automatically after successful renewals.
- Systemd Integration: Manages renewal operations reliably with
systemdandsys-ctl-alm-compose. - Quiet and Safe Operation: Uses
--quietand--agree-tosflags to ensure non-interactive renewals.
🎯 Purpose
The Nginx Certbot Automation role ensures that Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certificates stay valid without manual intervention. It enhances the security and reliability of web services by automating certificate lifecycle management.
🚀 Features
- Certbot-Nginx Package Installation: Installs required certbot plugins for Nginx.
- Custom Systemd Service: Configures a lightweight, dedicated renewal service.
- Timer Setup: Uses sys-timer to run certbot renewals periodically.
- Failure Notification: Integrated with
sys-ctl-alm-composefor alerting on failures.
