Configure passenger through hiera.

[ctavan]

I've tried to configure the pre-built passenger packages through hiera but I seem to be missing something.

The following puppet config works for me as expected:

  class { 'nginx':
    package_source  => 'passenger',
  }

I tried to transform this into the puppet part:

include nginx

and the hiera part:

---
nginx::package:
  package_source: 'passenger'

However the puppet-nginx module doesn't respect the hiera config. Am I using the wrong keys in hiera?

EDIT: I have modified my initial comment. Initially I was wondering about nginx::config::http_cfg_append as well, but this works fine. So my final question is only concerned about the package_source.

Use this in hiera:

---
nginx:
  package_source: 'passenger'

The reason is a resource-like declaration is being used to declare nginx::package in init.pp. That overrides whatever you set in hiera for nginx::package. Instead, set package_source on nginx class as in my example.

There's info here about the automatic parameter lookup rules: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/hiera/1/puppet.html#automatic-parameter-lookup

@3flex thanks for your answer. Unfortunately your suggestion didn't work for me either. However following the documentation I managed to figure out the correct hiera config:

---
nginx::package_source: 'passenger'

That works for me with puppet 3.7.4 and hiera 1.3.4 and jfryman-nginx v0.2.6.
