This commit updates multiple roles to ensure compatibility with Ansible 2.20. Several include paths and task-loading mechanisms required adjustments, as Ansible 2.20 applies stricter evaluation rules for complex Jinja expressions and no longer resolves certain relative include paths the way Ansible 2.18 did. Key changes: - Replaced legacy once_finalize.yml and once_flag.yml with the new structure under tasks/utils/once/finalize.yml and tasks/utils/once/flag.yml. - Updated all include_tasks statements to use 'path_join' with playbook_dir, ensuring deterministic and absolute file resolution across roles. - Fixed all network helper includes by converting direct relative paths such as 'roles/docker-compose/tasks/utils/network.yml' to proper Jinja-evaluated paths. - Normalized MATOMO_* variable names for consistency with the updated variable scope behavior in Ansible 2.20. - Removed deprecated patterns that were implicitly supported in Ansible 2.18 but break under the more strict variable and path resolution model in 2.20. These changes are part of the full migration step required to ensure the infinito-nexus roles remain stable, deterministic, and forward-compatible with Ansible 2.20.

Automated Email Alerts for Service Failures
Description
This role installs and configures the necessary components for sending email notifications via systemd when a service fails. It sets up the {{ system_service_id }} service and configures email parameters and templates using msmtp.
Overview
Optimized for secure and reliable service failure notifications, this role is an integral part of the overall sys-ctl-alm-compose suite. It ensures that, upon failure of a critical service, an email alert is sent automatically to enable prompt troubleshooting.
Purpose
The primary purpose of this role is to provide a comprehensive solution for automated email notifications in a systemd environment. By integrating with msmtp and customizable templates, it delivers clear and timely alerts about service failures, thereby enhancing system reliability.
Features
- Service Installation & Configuration: Installs msmtp and configures the email sending service.
- Customizable Templates: Supports tailoring email templates for service failure notifications.
- Secure Notifications: Integrates with systemd to trigger email alerts when services fail.
- Suite Integration: Part of the
sys-ctl-alm-composesuite, offering a unified approach to service failure notifications.
