Role Variables

You should look at default vars.

Writable vars

• php_install_fpm: boolean, install and manage php-fpm (default is true)
• php_install_xdebug: boolean, install Xdebug

php.ini

• php_ini: global configuration shared beween FPM/CLI
• php_ini_fpm: manage FPM php.ini (php-fpm)

Note:

• If you want exactly same configuration for CLI/FPM. You can put all your data in php_ini.
• Put specific configuration in php_ini_fpm/php_ini_cli.
• You can override with php_ini_fpm/php_ini_cli, but it breaks idempotence.
