Vagrant::Hiera

Configures puppet-heira on your vagrant box

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'vagrant-hiera'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install vagrant-hiera

Usage

Create a hiera.yaml file on your host with the datadir pointing to /tmp/vagrant-hiera/data

:yaml:
  :datadir: /var/lib/hiera

Add the following to your VagrantFile:

config.hiera.config_path = 'host/path/to/the/directory/that/contains/hiera.yaml'
config.hiera.config_file = 'hiera.yaml'
config.hiera.data_path   = 'host/path/to/hiera-data'

And then...

vagrant up

Notes: You will need to add/checkout hiera-puppet to your module path. See the following links for more information:

I've only tested this plugin on puppet 3. Thus, it will download and install puppet v3 (which as of now is a pre-release version). Although it is not tested, if you would like to configure the plugin to use a different version of puppet, hiera, etc., you can do so by adding the following config to your Vagrantfile.

config.hiera.(puppet_apt_source|puppet_version|hiera_puppet_version|hiera_version|apt_opts) = ' ... '
