Offer of Saltstack testing

I’ve noticed on the blog and in the forums there’s a mention of salt stack.

We use salt heavily, and are looking to use vyos, initially for some internal firewalling. We’re currently using the salt-napalm library, and it works ok, all things considered.

If there’s anything we can do to help test a native minion client… the same goes for cloudinit… :slight_smile:

Hey there!
Thanks for offer and we definitely would like to use all resources available for testing but not only.
All inputs are welcome including any particular cases
@Unicron almost finishing cloud-init integration and he also guy behind salt integration
@mattwan please join us on slack (get your invite here)
and of course our development portal https://phabricator.vyos.net
And welcome to community!

Thanks.

I’m happy to contribute, test, and write some docs. Like all of us, I’m quite time constrained, but as we use VyOS internally, I can justify some work time :slight_smile:

We’ve done a little development using the salt agent. This was all against the 1.2-RC2 build

This is a salt state and corresponding module that allows salt to get and set configuration via the agent. There’s a sample template which can be adjusted to suit your use case.

The salt agent in the build is quite old, which caused a bit of pain.

@mattwan in the latest roling releases of vyos. (VyOS Community)
I have integrated the salt minion and some config.

Would you like to test this?

Hey. Absolutely, I’ll have a poke around it next week.

Can you give me some pointers as to what’s been added? (git commits will be fine)

Thanks
Matt
