Kevin Veen-Birkenbach 986f959696 Refactor webserver proxy variables and fix BigBlueButton deployment behavior
Refactor proxy/webserver configuration variables to a consistent webserver_* naming scheme across roles. Replace legacy variables like proxy_extra_configuration, client_max_body_size, vhost_flavour, location_ws and ws_port with webserver_extra_configuration, webserver_client_max_body_size, webserver_vhost_flavour, webserver_websocket_location and webserver_websocket_port. Update NGINX vhost and location templates (html, upload, ws, basic, ws_generic) as well as callers (sys-front-inj-all, sys-stk-front-proxy, various web-app-* and web-svc-* roles) to use the new naming.

Tighten docker-compose Git repository handling by making docker_git_repository_pull depend on docker_git_repository_address being defined, a string and non-empty. This avoids accidental Git operations when the repository address is unset or of the wrong type.

Refactor the BigBlueButton role structure and fix deployment bugs: introduce 01_core.yml to orchestrate docker/proxy setup, database seeding, websocket map deployment, docker-compose overrides and admin/bootstrap logic in a single once-executed entrypoint. Rename supporting task files (02_docker-compose.yml, 03_administrator.yml, 04_dependencies.yml) and update tasks/main.yml to delegate via include_tasks with run_once_web_app_bigbluebutton. Improve Greenlight admin creation behavior by treating the 'Email has already been taken' error as a non-fatal, unchanged outcome and running user:set_admin_role as a fallback, both for the primary password and the OIDC starred-password path.

Also standardize vhost flavour selection for services like Mailu, Discourse, CDN, Collabora, Coturn, OnlyOffice, Simpleicons and web-svc-logout by explicitly passing webserver_vhost_flavour where needed and aligning client_max_body_size and websocket configuration with the new webserver_* variables.

Nextcloud

Description

Elevate your collaboration with Nextcloud, a vibrant self-hosted cloud solution designed for dynamic file sharing, seamless communication, and effortless teamwork. Nextcloud offers a full suite of integrated tools—including LDAP and OIDC authentication, Redis caching, and automated plugin management via OCC—to empower a secure, extensible, and production-ready cloud environment.

Overview

This role provisions a complete Nextcloud deployment using Docker Compose. It automates the setup of the Nextcloud application along with its underlying MariaDB database and configures the system for secure public access via an Nginx reverse proxy. The deployment includes automated configuration merging into config.php, health check routines, and integrated support for backup and recovery operations.

Features

  • Fully Dockerized Deployment: Simplifies installation using Docker Compose for the Nextcloud application and its MariaDB backend.
  • Secure Access: Integrates with an Nginx reverse proxy for encrypted, high-performance access.
  • Robust Authentication: Supports LDAP and OIDC for secure identity and access management.
  • Automated Configuration Management: Uses additive configuration files to dynamically merge system settings into config.php.
  • Integrated Backup & Recovery: Provides built-in support for backup and restoration operations to safeguard your data.
  • Extensible Plugin Framework: Easily manage and configure hundreds of Nextcloud plugins using the OCC command line tool.
