Ansible php-fpm

Mar 26, 2021 One minute to read

The geekoops-php-fpm role is intended as a standalone php-fpm deployment that works in conjunction with any webserver. I use it with nginx in production. In principle it should also work together with apache2, but that’s something currently untested.

This role works with openSUSE Leap and is intended to ship enough requirements for most web applications to run. I run it in conjunction with Mediawiki and Nextcloud.

Role Variables

This ansible role comes with a large set of configuration parameters. Among others here are some of the most important ones:

Value	Description	Default
`configure_php_ini`	Configrue the `php.ini` file	`true`
`configure_php_fpm`	Configure php-fpm configuration files	`true`
`enable_php_fpm`	Enable `php-fpm` service	`true`
`apcu_enable`	Enable the APCu cache	`false`
`apcu_shm_size`	APCu cache size	`32M`
`php_memlimit`	PHP memory limit	`128M`
`php_uploads`	Enable PHP uploads	`On`
`php_maxuploadsize`	Max upload size	`256M`
`php_maxuploads`	Max uploads in a request	`20`

Example

This role installs only php-fpm. It works best together with the nginx role, but you can also use it as a standalone:

---
- hosts: jellyfish
  user: root

  roles:
    - role: geekoops-php-fpm
      vars:
        apcu_enable: true
        apcu_shm_size: 32M
        php_memlimit: 256M
        php_maxuploadsize: 64M

A more extended example of this role together with nginx can be found in the Example Webserver post.
