Magento¶

Description¶

Magento (Adobe Commerce Open Source) is a powerful, extensible e-commerce platform built with PHP. It supports multi-store setups, advanced catalog management, promotions, checkout flows, and a rich extension ecosystem.

Overview¶

This role deploys Magento 2 via Docker Compose. It is aligned with the Infinito.Nexus stack patterns:

Reverse-proxy integration (front proxy handled by platform roles)
Optional central database (MariaDB) or app-local DB
OpenSearch for catalog search (required by Magento 2.4+)
Optional Redis cache/session (can be toggled)
Health checks, volumes, and environment templating
SMTP wired via platform’s SYSTEM_EMAIL settings

Cosmos¶

The diagram places Magento 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¶

Modern search: OpenSearch out of the box (single-node).
Flexible DB: Use platform’s central MariaDB or app-local DB.
Optional Redis: Toggle cache/session backend.
Proxy-aware: Exposes HTTP on localhost, picked up by front proxy role.
Automation-friendly: Admin user seeded from inventory variables.

Quick Setup¶

Development¶

Clone, set up the workstation, and deploy Magento onto the local stack:

git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
make onboard
make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps=web-app-magento full_cycle=false

Production¶

Run the published image to provision the inventory and deploy Magento to a managed server (the mounted volume persists the inventory):

APP=web-app-magento
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'

Further Resources¶

Persona contract opt-outs¶

`tasks/01_setup.yml <./tasks/01_setup.yml>`__ seeds only the administrator into Magento’s admin table (bin/magento setup:install --admin-user, credentials from `templates/env.j2 <./templates/env.j2>`__); biber reaches the backend solely through the oauth2-proxy declared in `meta/services.yml <./meta/services.yml>`__. In the services.sso.enabled: false matrix variants that proxy is absent and biber has no native account, so `templates/playwright.env.j2 <./templates/playwright.env.j2>`__ renders PERSONA_BIBER_BLOCKED=true. The administrator persona keeps its native login via ADMIN_NATIVE_PASSWORD and runs in every variant.
