Ansible php-fpm	phoenix	2021-03-26T09:42:03+01:00

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.
