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

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.
