Actually ignore what I wrote above, since the ini files have sections I think you need a more complicated template? I have one like this:
; {{ ansible_managed }}
{% if php_conf_file_proposed_sections | bool %}
{% for php_section in php_conf_file_proposed_vars | dict2items %}
[{{ php_section.key }}]
{% for php_variable_pair in php_section.value | dict2items %}
{% if php_conf_file_no_extra_spaces | bool %}
{{ php_variable_pair.key }}={{ php_variable_pair.value }}
{% else %}
{{ php_variable_pair.key }} = {{ php_variable_pair.value }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
{% for php_conf_pair in php_conf_file_proposed_vars | ansible.builtin.dict2items %}
{% if php_conf_file_no_extra_spaces | bool %}
{{ php_conf_pair.key }}={{ php_conf_pair.value }}
{% else %}
{{ php_conf_pair.key }} = {{ php_conf_pair.value }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
; vim: syntax=dosini
To generate ini files from lists like this:
- name: PHP 8.3 configuration
version: "8.3"
state: present
files:
- name: PHP 8.3 CLI configuration
path: /etc/php/8.3/cli/php.ini
state: present
conf:
apc:
"apc.coredump_unmap": "0"
"apc.enable_cli": "1"
"apc.enabled": "1"
"apc.entries_hint": "4096"
"apc.gc_ttl": "3600"
"apc.serializer": "php"
"apc.shm_segments": "1"
"apc.shm_size": "32M"
"apc.slam_defense": "1"
"apc.ttl": "0"
"apc.use_request_time": "0"
"CLI Server":
"cli_server.color": "1"
MySQLi:
"mysqli.allow_local_infile": "0"
"mysqli.allow_persistent": "1"
"mysqli.default_port": '3306'
"mysqli.max_links": "-1"
"mysqli.max_persistent": "-1"
"mysqli.reconnect": "0"
"mysqli.default_socket": "/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock"
However when I wrote this role community.general.to_ini didn’t exist… so perhaps all the above can be ignored!
I posted some links to ini resources for Ansible here, I don’t know if these will help:
Sorry I’m too knackered tonight to help any more but if you are still stuck later this week I’m sure I could help solve it!
