Use a puppet or hiera variable in hiera

[Ugo Bellavance]

Hi,

Is it possible to have an array in hiera (or puppet) and use it in hiera?

For example:

clients:

  - client1

  - client2

Then,

nginx::nginx_vhosts:

  "%{hiera('clients')}":

    ensure: present

It would be the equivalent of having:

nginx::nginx_vhosts:

  'client1':

    ensure: present

nginx::nginx_vhosts:

  'client2':

    ensure: present

In this article (https://blog.serverdensity.com/deploying-nginx-with-puppet/), they declare a variable (vdomain) and then use it, but I tried with an array and it doesn't work.

Thanks,

Have you considered using an external node classifier instead?

I use The Foreman on my older 2.7 puppet master, but only for reporting purposes.  I think I may not good enough with puppet to use an ENC. I'm not on puppet full-time.
