#30020: switch from our custom YAML implementation to Hiera -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: anarcat | Owner: anarcat Type: project | Status: assigned Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Internal Services/Tor Sysadmin | Version: Team | Severity: Normal | Keywords: Actual Points: | Parent ID: #29387 Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- We currently use a custom-made YAML database for assigning roles to servers and other metadata. I started using Hiera for some hosts and it seems to be working well.
Hiera is officially supported in Puppet and shipped by default in Puppet 5 and later. It's the standard way of specifying metadata and class parameters for hosts. I suspect it covers most of our needs in terms of metadata and should cover most if not all of what we're currently doing with the YAML stuff in Puppet. We should therefore switch to using Hiera instead of our homegrown solution. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30020> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
