The Production block never set one. inventory provision writes only
ansible_connection for a local host, so DOMAIN_PRIMARY stayed at the
group_vars default of infinito.localhost and the deployment served a zone its
own resolver knows nothing about. CoreDNS templates answers for
INFINITO_DOMAIN_RE and nothing else, so every lookup of the deployment's own
name came back NXDOMAIN.
Mastodon is where that surfaced. tootctl accounts create validates the address
through EmailMxValidator, which resolves MX and then, for the domain itself,
A and AAAA. All six queries returned NXDOMAIN in run 33574056480, the
validator recorded email :unreachable, and the admin account was never created.
Only the guide rows were affected: the matrix rows write
DOMAIN_PRIMARY: "{{ lookup('env', 'INFINITO_DOMAIN') }}" into their host_vars
and resolve fine.
The template now carries DOMAIN=<your-domain> in both the host and the
container form and threads it into --vars, with the container form passing it
through the docker run boundary as well. The two guide runners substitute it
the way they already substitute the SSH key, so the replay deploys under
INFINITO_DOMAIN like every other CI deploy. compose_deploy.sh moves its env
load ahead of the substitutions to have the value; host_deploy.sh had no env
load at all.
A production reader is asked for a domain now instead of silently inheriting
infinito.localhost, which no real deployment wants either. The shipped default
keeps its value: sys-svc-nss documents that *.localhost resolves through the
myhostname NSS module without any zone, and host-side tasks lean on it.

RabbitMQ
Description
This Ansible role provides a central RabbitMQ message broker that many roles share. It runs the broker inside a Docker container and isolates each consumer with its own virtual host and user, making it suitable for production or local development.
Overview
The central stack (templates/compose.yml.j2) runs the rabbitmq image with:
- An
adminuser authenticated from theRABBITMQ_PASSWORDcredential. - A bind on
127.0.0.1:5672plus the shared cross-stack overlay network for consumers. - A built-in
rabbitmq-diagnostics pinghealthcheck.
Per-consumer provisioning (tasks/01_init.yml) runs with application_id=svc-db-rabbitmq and database_consumer_id=<consumer>; it resolves the consumer's vhost name, username and password via lookup('engine', 'rabbitmq', <consumer>, ...) and reconciles an idempotent vhost, user and set_permissions grant scoped to that vhost. Existing vhosts and users are skipped, and the consumer password is realigned with the inventory on every deploy.
Cosmos
The diagram places RabbitMQ in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments); red 0..0 edges are turned off in this role. Node markers show the role's deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.
Features
- Central broker one shared RabbitMQ stack consumed by many roles.
- Vhost isolation one virtual host per consumer.
- User isolation one RabbitMQ user per consumer, granted full permissions only on its own vhost.
- Idempotent provisioning vhosts, users and permissions reconciled on every deploy via
rabbitmqctl. - Built-in healthcheck
rabbitmq-diagnostics ping.
Quick Setup
Development
Clone, set up the workstation, and deploy RabbitMQ onto the local stack:
git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
make onboard
make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps=svc-db-rabbitmq full_cycle=false
Production
Run the published image to provision the inventory and deploy RabbitMQ to a managed server (the mounted volume persists the inventory):
APP=svc-db-rabbitmq
HOST=<your-server>
DOMAIN=<your-domain>
TLS_MODE=self_signed
SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="<your-ssh-public-key>"
docker run --rm -it \
-v "$PWD/inventories:/etc/infinito.nexus/inventories" \
-e APP="$APP" -e HOST="$HOST" -e DOMAIN="$DOMAIN" -e TLS_MODE="$TLS_MODE" -e SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY" \
ghcr.io/infinito-nexus/core/debian bash -c '
INVENTORY=/etc/infinito.nexus/inventories/production
infinito administration inventory provision "$INVENTORY" \
--inventory-file "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
--host "$HOST" \
--include "$APP" \
--vars "{\"TLS_MODE\": \"$TLS_MODE\", \"DOMAIN_PRIMARY\": \"$DOMAIN\", \"users\": {\"administrator\": {\"authorized_keys\": [\"$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY\"]}}}" &&
infinito administration deploy dedicated "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
--password-file "$INVENTORY/.password" \
--diff -vv'
