thorian93.apache2

Ansible Role: Apache2

This role installs and sets up the Apache2 web server on Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL/CentOS, and Fedora servers.

Warning!

This role is mainly for my personal use. I can't promise that it will work well for you. Please read the role carefully before using it!

Requirements

No special requirements, but this role needs root access. You can either run it in a playbook with become: yes or include it like this:

- hosts: foobar
  roles:
    - role: thorian93.apache2
      become: yes

Role Variables

Here are the available variables and their default values (see defaults/main.yml):

apache2_disable_default_site: 'true'

This will disable the default site that comes with the Apache2 installation.

Dependencies

None.

OS Compatibility

This role checks the operating system to ensure it's being used on supported versions. It looks for the proper distribution name and major version in a variable called <role-name>_stable_os. You can find this variable in the role's defaults file at defaults/main.yml:

role_stable_os:
  - Debian 10
  - Ubuntu 18
  - CentOS 7
  - Fedora 30

If the distribution and version do not match the target system, the role will fail. If you need to use it on a different version, add that version to the variable carefully and test it first!

Thanks to HarryHarcourt for this idea!
