kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Fable 5 e2f8d4c304 refactor(container): drive exec timeout and CA paths from group_vars SPOTs
Two wrapper behaviours move onto single sources of truth:

Exec timeout: SYS_TIMEOUT_CONTAINER_EXEC (07_schedule.yml, default 7d so a
hard kill never beats a production migration; the dev/CI inventory
tightens it to 60min) reaches every task host via the play environment as
CONTAINER_EXEC_TIMEOUT. The wrapper prefixes only the exec subcommand with
coreutils timeout --kill-after=15. Ansible task timeouts are SIGALRM-based
and slept through the last wedged docker socket for 4.5 hours; the OS
level kill still fires there and returns 124, which until/failed_when and
the rescue diagnostics react to. Unset or 0 keeps todays behaviour.

CA container paths: the bind-mount targets for the injected root CA and
wrapper script lived as string literals in container.py, compose_ca.py
and the filter plugin. They now live once in the CA_TRUST group_vars SPOT
(inject_cert_container, inject_wrapper_container) and reach container.py
as env vars (play environment plus CA_TRUST_SYSTEMD_ENV) and compose_ca.py
as CLI arguments built by the compose_ca_inject_cmd lookup. A caller that
provides the host CA env but not the container paths is half-migrated and
fails loudly instead of silently dropping CA injection; a host without any
CA env keeps the soft fallback. All tests read the paths from the SPOT,
and a regression test asserts the runtime scripts carry no literal copy.

Custom Filter Plugins for Infinito.Nexus

This directory contains custom Ansible filter plugins used within the Infinito.Nexus project.

When to Use a Filter Plugin

  • Transform values: Use filters to transform, extract, reformat, or compute values from existing variables or facts.
  • Inline data manipulation: Filters are designed for inline use in Jinja2 expressions (in templates, tasks, vars, etc.).
  • No external lookups: Filters only operate on data you explicitly pass to them and cannot access external files, the Ansible inventory, or runtime context.

Examples

{{ role_name | get_entity_name }}
{{ my_list | unique }}
{{ user_email | regex_replace('^(.+)@.*$', '\\1') }}

When not to Use a Filter Plugin

  • If you need to load data from an external source (e.g., file, environment, API), use a lookup plugin instead.
  • If your logic requires access to inventory, facts, or host-level information that is not passed as a parameter.
