thorian93.php

Ansible Role: PHP

This role installs PHP on servers running Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL/CentOS, and Fedora.

Known Issues

None.

Requirements

No special requirements; however, this role needs root access. You can run it in a playbook with become: yes, or use it like this:

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

Role Variables

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

php_major_version: 7

Set the major version of PHP.

php_minor_version: 4

Set the minor version of PHP.

php_third_party_enabled: 'false'

Choose whether to use a third-party repository. Check the vars/ folder for details on repositories. This role may fail if the third-party repository is not enabled.

php_ppa_enabled: 'false'
php_ppa: "ppa:ondrej/php"

Choose whether to use an Ubuntu PPA, and if so, which one. The default is the well-known Sury repository. This role may fail if the PPA is not enabled.

php_enabled_modules:
- curl

Decide which PHP module you want to install.

php_config_options: []

Add any additional PHP configuration options.

Dependencies

Webserver: This role helps detect the web server.

OS Compatibility

This role checks if the operating system is supported by looking at a variable named <role-name>_stable_os. You can find this variable in defaults/main.yml:

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

If the system's distribution and version don't match, the role will fail. To use it, add the correct distribution and version to that variable. Please test any new combination first!

Thanks to HarryHarcourt for this idea!
