Hiera Variables and return 301.

[joshuagordondba]

I am attempting to create a configuration using Hiera that would appear like this when finished I am having issues specifically with the first section and the line "return 301 https://$host$request_uri;"
I have not been able to figure out how to do this in Hiera any help would be appreciated. I have put the Hiera details at the bottom of this but they do not work so I don't know how much help they will be.
Thanks

Hello:

This is what I did, for example to redirect http to https:

nginx::nginx_vhosts_defaults:
   ssl: true
   ssl_port: 443
   listen_port: 443
   ssl_protocols: 'SSLv3 TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2'
   ssl_cert:    '/etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt'
   ssl_key:  '/etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key'
   index_files: []
   proxy_read_timeout: '180s'

nginx::nginx_vhosts:
  'rundeck':
      server_name:
        - 'host.example.com'
      proxy:    'http://rundeck'
  'rundeck_nossl':
      server_name:
        - 'host.example.com'
      proxy:    'http://rundeck'
      listen_port: 80
      ssl: false
      location_cfg_append:
        return: '301 https://$server_name$request_uri'

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Cannot create a location reference without a www_root, proxy, location_alias, fastcgi, uwsgi, stub_status, internal, or location_custom_cfg defined at /etc/puppet/modules/nginx/manifests/resource/location.pp:326 on node nginx.example.com
So, in your example you have proxy: 'http://rundeck' on the rundeck_nossl Wouldn't this pass the traffic to the upstream server rundeck on port 443? I am looking to not send anything down to the rundeck server unless it comes in on 443. I may be missing something here. If so please let me know.

Thanks

To avoid needing a proxy on rundeck_nossl I removed the proxy and changed the line location_cfg_append: to location_custom_config. I hope this helps others.

@joshuagordondba if this fixed your issue can you consider closing this? Thanks!
