Fixed the loop for authorized keys. While I read previously that the
Ansible module can take keys in the array format:
```yaml
key:
- key1
- key2
- ...
```
This seems to not be the case.
Instead, we now do a 'sub-loop' through all the existing authorized_keys
entries in the data structure, running the task once for each key.
This also means we can simplify the 'when' condition to only check the
data structure itself exists, not the key since we only loop once for
each existing key anyway.
More in-depth explanation on the subelements filter here:
https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/playbook_guide/playbooks_filters.html#combining-objects-and-subelements
Concise explanation of use here:
https://overflow.ducks.party/questions/56086290/how-can-i-traverse-nested-lists-in-ansible
One drawback:
we can now _not_ change the key setting in the module to be exclusive
(`exclusive: true` for `authorized_keys` module). As described in the
documentation, if there are more than one key for a user, this would
lead to the following keys overwriting the first key.
Currently do not know how to fix this, but we are not supplying
exclusive keys so it is fine for the moment.

Homelab NAS stacks
All the homelab server roles running here. Intended as an (ultimately) idempotent setup, perhaps with ansible preparing the host and the roles.
For now, a simple storage of my docker stacks, transferred from an older NAS system.
Arr stack
Hosts all the pertinent *arr applications, as well as indexer collection application prowlarr, download services, and media management applications jellyfin and audiobookshelf.
Media can be requested through Jellyseerr.
Served through homarr personal dashboard.
Paperless stack
Hosts all my personal documents. This is an important stack which should be backed up accordingly.
Grocy stack
Was an experimental stack which I may have used in my home for shopping lists, ingredient tracking, and more.
After some consideration and experimentation, for the moment, I have decided against using grocy: it provides comprehensive tracking but also requires comprehensive use to get the most out of it.
I get the feeling a badly implemented/maintained grocy setup is worse than a simpler task-list and e.g. Recipe KanBan board approach.
Thoughts on organization
. ansible roles system infrastructure -> calls tofu role arr paperless ...
tofu incus_machines incus_networks? incus_storage?
