CopyQ

Description

CopyQ is a clipboard manager with advanced features such as editing clipboard history, creating custom actions, and scripting support.

Overview

This role installs the CopyQ clipboard manager on Pacman-based systems (e.g. Arch Linux) and ensures it is started automatically for the current user.

Architecture

ARCHITECTURE.md draws CopyQ from its own metadata: the containers it runs under compose, what changes under swarm, how each volume is backed, and every role it depends on or is depended upon by.

Section	Drawn from
Compose	meta/services.yml
Swarm	meta/services.yml replicas and placement
Volumes	meta/volumes.yml against the NFS decision chain
Dependencies	meta/services.yml and meta/main.yml of every role

Features

• Automated provisioning: Configured by Ansible without manual steps.

Quick Setup

Development

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

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

Production

Install CopyQ directly onto the target machine: clone the repository, install the OS prerequisites and the repository toolchain, then deploy against localhost over a local connection (no SSH, no container):

git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
bash scripts/install/package.sh
make install
source scripts/meta/env/load.sh

APP=dsk-copyq
DOMAIN="<your-domain>"
TLS_MODE=self_signed
SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="<your-ssh-public-key>"
INVENTORY=inventories/production
infinito administration inventory provision "$INVENTORY" \
  --inventory-file "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
  --host localhost \
  --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
