Ansible Role grav

This role installs Grav (a simple file-based flat-file CMS platform) using PHP composer. For keeping Grav, Plugins and Themes up to date the role configures the Grav Package Manager (GPM).

It is possible to configure whether the Grav Admin Panel should be installed (it is installed by default). By default, you can access the admin by pointing your browser to http://grav.example.com/admin. You can simply log in with the username and password set in the role variables.

Available since LFOps 2.0.0.

Known Limitations

There might be more to implement:

Dependent Roles

Any LFOps playbook that installs this role runs these for you. Optional ones can be disabled via the playbook’s skip variables.

• A web server (for example Apache httpd) with a virtual host configured for Grav must be available (role: linuxfabrik.lfops.apache_httpd).

• PHP 7.3.6+ (PHP 8.1 recommended (20220930)) must be installed (roles: linuxfabrik.lfops.repo_remi and linuxfabrik.lfops.php).
