* fix: Add no_log to tasks handling sensitive information
- Add no_log: true to OpenSSL commands that contain passwords/passphrases
- Add no_log: true to WireGuard key generation commands
- Add no_log: true to password/CA password generation tasks
- Add no_log: true to AWS credential handling tasks
- Add no_log: true to QR code generation that contains full configs
This prevents sensitive information like passwords, private keys, and
WireGuard configurations from being logged to syslog/journald.
Fixes#1617
* feat: Comprehensive privacy enhancements
- Add no_log directives to all cloud provider credential handling
- Set privacy-focused defaults (StrongSwan logging disabled, DNSCrypt syslog off)
- Implement privacy role with log rotation, history clearing, and log filtering
- Add Privacy Considerations section to README
- Make all privacy features configurable and enabled by default
This update significantly reduces Algo's logging footprint to enhance user privacy
while maintaining the ability to enable logging for debugging when needed.
* docs: Move privacy documentation from README to FAQ
- Remove Privacy Considerations section from README
- Add expanded 'Does Algo support zero logging?' question to FAQ
- Better placement alongside existing logging/monitoring questions
- More detailed explanation of privacy features and limitations
* fix: Remove invalid 'bool' filter from Jinja2 template
The privacy-monitor.sh.j2 template was using '| bool' which is not a valid
Jinja2 filter. The 'bool' is a built-in Python function, not a Jinja2 filter.
Fixed by removing the '| bool' filter and directly outputting the boolean
variables as they will be rendered correctly by Jinja2.
This resolves the template syntax error that was causing CI tests to fail:
"No filter named 'bool'" error in privacy monitoring script template.

* Fix YAML linting issues in privacy role
* Fix linting warnings: shellcheck and ansible-lint issues
- Fixed all shellcheck warnings in test scripts:
- Quoted variables to prevent word splitting
- Replaced A && B || C constructs with proper if-then-else
- Changed unused loop variable to _
- Added shellcheck directives for FreeBSD rc.d script
- Fixed ansible-lint risky-file-permissions warnings:
- Added explicit file permissions for sensitive files (mode 0600)
- Added permissions for config files and certificates (mode 0644)
- Set proper permissions for directories (mode 0755)
- Fixed yamllint compatibility with ansible-lint:
- Added required octal-values configuration
- Quoted all octal mode values to prevent YAML misinterpretation
- Added comments-indentation: false as required
All tests pass and functionality remains unchanged.
* Remove algo.egg-info from version control
This directory is generated by Python package tools (pip/setuptools) and
should not be tracked in git. It's already listed in .gitignore but was
accidentally committed. The directory contains build metadata that is
regenerated when the package is installed.
* Restructure privacy documentation for clarity
- Simplified FAQ entry to be concise with link to README for details
- Added comprehensive Privacy and Logging section to README
- Clarified what IS logged by default vs what is not
- Explained two separate privacy settings (strongswan_log_level and privacy_enhancements_enabled)
- Added clear debugging instructions (need to change both settings)
- Removed confusing language about "enabling additional features"
- Made documentation more natural and less AI-generated sounding

* Fix Ubuntu 22.04 iptables deployment issues and simplify config.cfg
Issues fixed:
1. Added base 'iptables' package to batch installation list (was missing, only iptables-persistent was included)
2. Fixed alternatives configuration for Ubuntu 22.04+ - only configure main iptables/ip6tables alternatives, not save/restore (they're handled as slaves)
Config.cfg improvements:
- Reduced from 308 to 198 lines (35% reduction)
- Moved privacy settings above "Advanced users only" line for better accessibility
- Clarified algo_no_log is for Ansible output, not server privacy
- Simplified verbose comments throughout
- Moved experimental performance options to commented section at end
- Better organized into logical sections

* Add privacy features to README and improve feature descriptions
- Added privacy-focused feature bullet highlighting minimal logging and privacy enhancements
- Simplified IKEv2 bullet (removed redundant platform list)
- Updated helper scripts description to be more comprehensive
- Specified Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and automatic security updates
- Made feature list more concise and accurate

* Fix logrotate duplicate entries error in privacy role
The privacy role was creating logrotate configs that duplicated the default
Ubuntu rsyslog logrotate rules, causing deployment failures with errors like
'duplicate log entry for /var/log/syslog'.
Changes:
- Disable default rsyslog logrotate config before applying privacy configs
- Consolidate system log rotation into single config file
- Add missingok flag to handle logs that may not exist on all systems
- Remove forced immediate rotation that was triggering the error
This ensures privacy-enhanced log rotation works without conflicts.

* Fix 'history: not found' error in privacy role
The 'history -c' command was failing because history is a bash built-in
that doesn't exist in /bin/sh (Ubuntu's default shell for scripts).
Changes:
- Removed the 'Clear current session history' task since it's ineffective
in Ansible context (each task runs in a new shell)
- History files are already cleared by the existing file removal tasks
- Added explanatory comment about why session history clearing is omitted
This fixes the deployment failure while maintaining all effective history
clearing functionality.

* Fix BPF JIT sysctl error in privacy role
The net.core.bpf_jit_enable sysctl parameter was failing on some systems
because BPF JIT support is not available in all kernel configurations.
Changes:
- Separated BPF JIT setting into its own task with ignore_errors
- Made BPF JIT disabling optional since it's not critical for privacy
- Added explanatory comments about kernel support variability
- Both runtime sysctl and persistent config now handle missing parameter
This allows deployments to succeed on systems without BPF JIT support
while still applying the setting where available.
