How to enable or disable Apache modules in a distro-agnostic way?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I usually work with Debian/Ubuntu as a basis for Apache and recently learned that commands like a2enmod MOD or a2dismod MOD are Debian-specific.
Is there a global / distro-agnostic way (maybe with some CM like Ansible or another) to enable or disable modules?
All I personally enable is http2, deflate and expires (and I use them all-default).

Note that Ansible module itself would need to be updated if/when Apache's configuration directives change, so you're back on the hamster wheel.

@JeffSchaller regarding your second comment, do you mean to a "minor" update from say 2.4 to 2.6 or to something else?

if Apache ends up at version 3, and Debian eventually stops aliasing a2enmod to a3enmod, then eventually the playbook stops working because it's trying to use a2enmod.

The platform independent way would in general be an adding of the according LoadModule directives to your Apache configuration. What a2enmod does, is linking files with such directives (.load files, plus additional .conf files, if needed) from /etc/apache2/mods-available to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled

Hello, I misunderstand why you didn't allow thew line break. The answer seems to me to contain two different passages in one passages. It is an accessibility issue, as I see it, to split it to two passages. Thank you.
