Node.js¶

Description¶

This Ansible role installs Node.js on the target system using the native package manager.

Overview¶

Optimized for Archlinux and Debian-based systems, this role ensures the presence of Node.js for use in Node-based applications or scripts. It serves as a foundational role for projects that depend on Node.js runtimes or utilities like Puppeteer.

Cosmos¶

The diagram places Node.js 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¶

Node.js Installation: Installs the latest Node.js version available via the system’s package manager.
Idempotent Execution: Ensures Node.js is only installed when missing.
