Ansible Role: Drush

Installs Drush, a command line shell and scripting interface for Drupal, on any Linux or UNIX system.

Requirements

PHP must be installed on the system prior to running this role (suggested role: geerlingguy.php).

Source installation additionally requires Git and Composer to also be installed on the system (suggested roles: geerlingguy.git and geerlingguy.composer).

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

drush_phar_url: https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/releases/download/8.1.10/drush.phar

The URL from which the Drush phar file will be downloaded.

drush_path: /usr/local/bin/drush

The path where drush will be installed and available to your system. Should be in your user's $PATH so you can run commands simply with drush instead of the full path.

drush_config: ~/.drush

Path to the directory where Drush will store its generated config.

Variables used for source install (Git).

drush_install_path: /usr/local/share/drush

The location of the entire drush installation (includes all the supporting files, as well as the drush executable file.

drush_version: "master"

The version of Drush to install (examples: "master" for the bleeding edge, "7.x", "6.x", "6.2.0"). This should be a string as it refers to a git branch, tag, or commit hash.

drush_keep_updated: no
drush_force_update: no

Whether to keep Drush up-to-date with the latest revision of the branch specified by drush_version, and whether to force the update (e.g. overwrite local modifications to the drush repository).

drush_force_composer_install: no

Use this if you get an error message when provisioning like Unable to load autoload.php. Run composer install to fetch dependencies and write this file. It will force a composer install inside the Drush directory.

drush_composer_cli_options: "--prefer-source --no-interaction"

These options are the safest for avoiding GitHub API rate limits when installing Drush, and can be very helpful when working on dependencies/installation, but builds can be sped up substantially by changing the first option to --prefer-dist.

drush_clone_depth: 1

Whether to clone the entire repo (by default), or specify the number of previous commits for a smaller and faster clone.

Dependencies

None.

Example Playbook

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - geerlingguy.drush

After the playbook runs, the drush command will be accessible from normal system accounts.
