Installs PHP PECL extensions (and optionally pecl itself) on servers with PHP already installed.
PHP must already be installed on the server. This role works great with and is tested alongside geerlingguy.php.
Also, if you don't already have php-pear (RedHat) or php-pecl (Debian) installed, you should set php_pecl_install_pecl: true to force this role to install the proper package.
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):
php_pecl_install_pecl: false
Whether to install php-pecl (Debian-based OSes) or php-pear (RedHat-based OSes).
php_pecl_install_command: "pecl install"
The command that will be run to install extensions. The default is generally correct, but if you're running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and run into this issue, you should override this default with "pecl install -Z"
php_pecl_extensions: []
A list of extensions that should be installed via pecl install. If you'd like to have this role install extensions like XDebug, just add it in the list, like so:
php_pecl_extensions:
- redis
- xdebug
- geerlingguy.php
- hosts: webservers
vars_files:
- vars/main.yml
roles:
- geerlingguy.php-pecl
Inside vars/main.yml:
php_pecl_extensions:
- redis
- xdebug
