Not replacing invalid characters in group name error

[djflux]

Running:

sudo meza deploy monolith --list-tasks

Produces this error:

Not replacing invalid character(s) "{'-'}" in group name (load-balancers)
[WARNING]: Invalid characters were found in group names but not replaced, use -vvvv to see details

Resolve error.

Looks like ansible group names can no longer contain a hyphen? I modified /opt/conf-meza/secret/monolith/hosts and replaced - with _ and that seems to resolve the error.

Now need to edit meza.py or other script to ensure we're using underscores for group names. (Very MATLAB of them ;) )

This was a bigger issue than I first thought. All references to group names in all yml files had to be replaced. I ran the following commands to replace them:

Commit 488751b attempts to fix the hyphens.

UPDATED COMMENT: using the find with the prune pieces could jack up a git repo (ask me how I know 😉 ). Those commands still don't get everything (e.g. load-balancers-nonmeza-internal), but get most things

Fixed. Commit 336c3c9 can be used to install a Demo Wiki from scratch on Rocky Linux 8.6.
