# php-ansible library
![Build PHP 8.0/8.1/8.2](https://github.com/maschmann/php-ansible/actions/workflows/static-analysis.yml/badge.svg)

This library is a OOP-wrapper for the ansible provisioning tool.
I intend to use this library for a symfony2 bundle and also a deployment GUI, based on php/symfony2.
The current implementation is feature-complete for the `ansible-playbook` and `ansible-galaxy` commands.

## Prerequisites

Your OS should be a flavor of linux and ansible has to be installed. It's easiest if ansible is in PATH :-)
The library tries to find ansible-playbook and ansible-galaxy by itself or use the paths/executables you provide.

## Usage

First instantiate the base object which works as a factory for the commands.
Only the first parameter is mandatory, and provides the library with the path to your ansible deployment file structure.

```php
$ansible = new Ansible(
'/path/to/ansible/deployment'
);
```

Optionally, you can specify the path of your `ansible-playbook` and `ansible-galaxy` commands, just in case they are not in the PATH.

```php
$ansible = new Ansible(
'/path/to/ansible/deployment',
'/optional/path/to/command/ansible-playbook',
'/optional/path/to/command/ansible-galaxy'
);
```

You can also pass any PSR compliant logging class to have further details logged. This is **especially useful to have the actual run command logged**.

```php
$ansible = new Ansible(
'/path/to/ansible/deployment'
);

// $logger is a PSR-compliant logging implementation (e.g. monolog)
$ansible->setLogger($logger);
```

### Playbooks

Then you can use the object just like in your previous ansible deployment.
If you don't specify an inventory file with ```->inventoryFile('filename')```, the wrapper tries to determine one, based on your playbook name:

```php
$ansible
->playbook()
->play('mydeployment.yml') // based on deployment root
->user('maschmann')
->extraVars(['project_release' => 20150514092022])
->limit('test')
->execute();
```

This will create following ansible command:

```bash
$ ansible-playbook mydeployment.yml -i mydeployment --user=maschmann --extra-vars="project-release=20150514092022" --limit=test
```

For the execute command you can use a callback to get real-time output of the command:

```php
$ansible
->playbook()
->play('mydeployment.yml') // based on deployment root
->user('maschmann')
->extraVars(['project_release' => 20150514092022])
->limit('test')
->execute(function ($type, $buffer) {
if (Process::ERR === $type) {
echo 'ERR > '.$buffer;
} else {
echo 'OUT > '.$buffer;
}
});
```
If no callback is given, the method will return the ansible-playbook output as a string, so you can either ```echo``` or directly pipe it into a log/whatever.

You can also pass an external YML/JSON file as extraVars containing a complex data structure to be passed to Ansible:

```php
$ansible
->playbook()
->play('mydeployment.yml') // based on deployment root
->extraVars('/path/to/your/extra/vars/file.yml')
->execute();
```

You can have a Json output adding json() option that enable 'ANSIBLE_STDOUT_CALLBACK=json' env vars to make a json output in ansible.

```php
$ansible
->playbook()
->json()
->play('mydeployment.yml') // based on deployment root
->extraVars('/path/to/your/extra/vars/file.yml')
->execute();
```

### Galaxy

The syntax follows ansible's syntax with one deviation: list is a reserved keyword in php (array context) and
therefore I had to rename it to "modulelist()".

```php
$ansible
->galaxy()
->init('my_role')
->initPath('/tmp/my_path') // or default ansible roles path
->execute();
```
would generate:

```bash
$ ansible-galaxy init my_role --init-path=/tmp/my_path
```

You can access all galaxy commands:

* `init()`
* `info()`
* `install()`
* `help()`
* `modulelist()`
* `remove()`

You can combine the calls with their possible arguments, though I don't have any logic preventing e.g. ```--force``` from being applied to e.g. info().

Possible arguments/options:

* `initPath()`
* `offline()`
* `server()`
* `force()`
* `roleFile()`
* `rolesPath()`
* `ignoreErrors()`
* `noDeps()`

### Process timeout

Default process timeout is set to 300 seconds. If you need more time to execute your processes: Adjust the timeout :-)

```php
$ansible
->galaxy()
->setTimeout(600)

```

## Future features

The Next steps for implementation are:

- improve type handling and structure, due to overall complexity of the playbook at the moment
- scalar typehints all over the place
- provide docker support for development
- move to php8.0 exclusively for the next major release
- wrapping the library into a bundle -> maybe
- provide commandline-capabilities -> maybe
