I need to install php package on RHEL8 based OS. The version is not what comes with the module - 8.0.13. I’ve disabled modules, but would like for php to be installed. This doesn’t install package php on it’s own. Is there a way around it? Thank you.

package { 'php':
    ensure   => 'disabled',
    provider => 'dnfmodule',
  }

  class { '::php::globals':
    php_version => '8.0.13',
  }

hmm, you would need to provide an alternative, if php module is disabled

I’ve built my own php RPMs and would like to have them installed instead. Hope I am making sense.

I have alternatives and they are in a custom repo. I can install package with

yum install php

and you expect php module (which one by the way?) to install php from that repo?

I want to fully disable php modules and just install packages from my repo

you probably need to supply additional arguments to the class

if it's logic allows that

or install packages outside of class

or install packages outside of class

I can’t create another another

package ('php'

.. as it will be a duplicate.

which module do you use, ?

official php one

there is no such thing 🙂

sorry 🙂

Are you doing anything with the module beyond installing PHP?

adding some settings

and extensions

hmm, that module designed 'old' way with params

even if i try to install the package from another class, wouldn’t it be considered a duplicate?

This doesn't work?

package { 'php':
    ensure => '8.0.13',
}

only if module also manages the package

I need to disable modules first

No, module doesn’t manage the package.

Maybe i need to learn how to build RPMs with modules… at some point.

well if it doesn't manage it, it won't conflict
