  hosts: all
  become: true

  vars:
    php_version: "7.3"
    phpmyadmin_enablerepo: "remi,remi-php73"

      when: ansible_os_family == 'Debian'

  roles:
    - role: buluma.phpmyadmin

  post_tasks:
    - name: Check if phpMyAdmin is running.
      ansible.builtin.uri:
        url: "http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/"
