Jrnl¶

Description¶

Jrnl is a simple and effective command-line journal application that allows users to create and manage personal journal entries.

Overview¶

This role automates the installation of Jrnl using the community.general.pacman module for systems that support the Pacman package manager, ensuring that Jrnl is installed and up to date.

Architecture¶

ARCHITECTURE.md draws Jrnl 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 Jrnl onto the local stack:

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

Production¶

Install Jrnl 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-jrnl
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
