See defaults and vars for the default values.

Dependencies

• optional: ecgalaxy.bootstrap
• optional: ecgalaxy.common_packages

On Amazon Linux 2 and Ubuntu, the ecgalaxy.oracle_instantclient role should be executed first if php_install_oci8_extension is set to true (which is the default value).

Example Playbook

- hosts: all
  roles:
    - ecgalaxy.bootstrap
    - ecgalaxy.common_packages
    - ecgalaxy.oracle_instantclient
    - ecgalaxy.php

One-liner

To globally install the default PHP version:

bash <(curl -s https://code.europa.eu/-/snippets/1/raw/main/ansible-role.sh) ecgalaxy.php

To globally install PHP 8.2:

bash <(curl -s https://code.europa.eu/-/snippets/1/raw/main/ansible-role.sh) ecgalaxy.php --extra-vars '{"php_version":"8.2"}'

You may need to execute the ecgalaxy.oracle_instantclient first (Amazon Linux 2, Ubuntu):

bash <(curl -s https://code.europa.eu/-/snippets/1/raw/main/ansible-role.sh) ecgalaxy.oracle_instantclient

See ansible-role for instructions.

Please verify the script integrity first.

Using multiple PHP versions

Installing and using multiple PHP versions is supported by executing the role multiple times with different values of php_version.

To switch to another version, use the sudo update-alternatives (Ubuntu) or module load php<version> (Amazon Linux, RedHat) command.

For instance, to switch to PHP 8.2:

On Ubuntu:

sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php8.2

On Amazon Linux, RedHat:

. /etc/profile.d/modules.sh
module load php82
