Set up Drupal

Configurable ansible role for installing drupal. webserver setup is separate. We obtain drupal and dependencies via composer. A cronjob keeps them up-to-date. mysql/mariadb is used for the database.

• openSUSE Leap 15.4 -> tested

Role Variables

---

You can set the following variables to configure the role. Here listed are the variables and their default settings.

Value	Description	Default
sqlbackup	file with an sql backup	""
drupal_location	install location of drupal in /srv/www	"drupal9-hp"
drupal_db_name	name of mysql database	"drupal_hp"
drupal_db_user	mysql user	"drupal_user"
drupal_db_pw	password of mysql user	randomly generated?
drupal_trusted_host_pattern	A regex to trust certain hostnames, e.g. your own.	"^www.example.com$"

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: jellyfish
  roles:
     - { role: geekoops-drupal, drupal_db_user: "drupal-user", drupal_db_pw: "1234abcd" }

An advanced example for the imaginary jellyfish test server

- hosts: jellyfish
  roles:
     - role: geekoops-drupal
       vars:
         drupal_db_user: "drupal-user"
         drupal_db_pw: "1234abcd"

Stuff to do afterwards

• If you replayed a backup, you need to copy over files, modules, themes...
• set up cron-job for drupal cron
