  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.mediawiki
      mediawiki_destination: /opt

The machine needs to be prepared in CI this is done using molecule/resources/prepare.yml:

    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap
    - role: robertdebock.core_dependencies
    - role: robertdebock.epel
    - role: robertdebock.python_pip
    - role: robertdebock.buildtools
    - role: robertdebock.openssl
      openssl_items:
        - name: apache-httpd
          common_name: "{{ ansible_fqdn }}"
    - role: robertdebock.httpd
    - role: robertdebock.php

Role Variables

These variables are set in defaults/main.yml:

---
# defaults file for mediawiki

# The version (major.minor.release) to install.
mediawiki_major: 1
mediawiki_minor: 35
mediawiki_release: 1

mediawiki_version: "{{ mediawiki_major }}.{{ mediawiki_minor }}.{{ mediawiki_release }}"

# Where to install mediawiki. You can use this pattern to install to a default
# location that differs per distribution, see `vars/main.yml`:
# "{{ _mediawiki_destination[ansible_distribution] | default(_mediawiki_destination['default']) }}"
# Change this to a simple string that refers to a path, for example:
# "/data/mediawiki".

mediawiki_destination: "{{ _mediawiki_destination[ansible_distribution] | default(_mediawiki_destination['default']) }}"
