Kevin Veen-Birkenbach e09f561f0b Refactor run-once orchestration and bootstrap Mailu/Mastodon in a single deploy
- 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

Journalctl

This Ansible role manages the configuration of systemd-journald on target hosts.

Description

  • Copies a customized journald.conf to /etc/systemd/journald.conf
  • Ensures log retention for one week
  • Restarts the systemd-journald service when configuration changes
  • Supports live log streaming via journalctl -f

Overview

  1. Template deployment
    The role places your journald.conf.j2 template into /etc/systemd/journald.conf.
  2. Service handler
    On change, it notifies a handler to restart systemd-journald.
  3. Monitoring
    You can follow logs in real time with journalctl -f.

Features

  • Customizable retention and runtime limits
  • Seamless restarts on config update
  • Integration with sys-ctl-hlth-journalctl for downstream monitoring
