README

sys-front-tls

Description

Generic TLS orchestrator that can be plugged in front of any web app reverse proxy.

Overview

Provide a unified interface for certificates and protocol selection, so application roles can switch TLS mode without touching app logic.

Supported modes (resolved outside or passed in):

  • letsencrypt -> use (and if missing: issue) Let’s Encrypt certs

  • self_signed -> generate and store a self-signed certificate (SAN aware)

  • off -> no TLS, HTTP only

Cosmos

The diagram places sys-front-tls 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

  • Automated provisioning: Configured by Ansible without manual steps.
