  timezone: 'Europe/Vienna'
  tools: true  # install useful admin-tools'
  
  apache:
    domain: 'zoneminder.template.ansibleguy.net'
    aliases: ['zm.template.ansibleguy.net']

    ssl:
      mode: 'letsencrypt'  # or selfsigned/ca
      #  if you use 'selfsigned' or 'ca':
      #    cert:
      #      cn: 'ZoneMinder Server'
      #      org: 'AnsibleGuy'
      #      email: 'zoneminder@template.ansibleguy.net'
    letsencrypt:
      email: 'zoneminder@template.ansibleguy.net'

Bare minimum example:
