+1 this would be a good addition to the role.
In my circumstance I needed to install php8.1 which required an extra step to add in the remi repo
- name: Install remi repository
ansible.builtin.include_role:
name: geerlingguy.repo-remi
- name: Enable php:remi-8.1
command: "dnf module enable -y php:remi-8.1"

Description
If I'm not mistaken, one cannot select the PHP version to install on RedHat.
Why is it important?
This is critically important to me because I am developing this role that installs a website that requires PHP >= 7.4 (namely dokuwiki).
Now, in my opinion, my
ansible-role-dokuwiki
is totally responsible for installing the PHP version it requires.Right now, this is done by selecting the appropriate module before running the php role:
ansible-role-dokuwiki/tasks/main.yml
:Also, my role defines
geerlingguy.php
as a dependency inmeta/main.yml
.Problem
As ansible runs the dependencies before the current role tasks, it results in a bug due to RedHat's (rightful) refusal to select a different PHP version after installing certain packages.
Proposed solution
php_default_version_redhat
indefaults/main.yml
tasks/main.yml
Workaround
The workaround would be to select the appropriate PHP module in the playbook that runs
ansible-role-dokuwiki
:server-setup.yml
:This is not acceptable for me, as, again, to me,
ansible-role-dokuwiki
is suppose to install the adequate version of PHP, depending on the dokuwiki version the user is ultimately installing.
