BETA TIAMAT PACKAGES

README Instructions for Tiamat builds of Salt.
SEP 26 Tiamat SEP.

ARCHIVE.REPO.SALTSTACK.COM

SEP 22 was accepted which means that all unsupported and CVE affected releases have been moved to https://archive.repo.saltstack.com. If you get 404 errors from your package manager, the release you were using probably moved there. Please consider upgrading to a supported version of Salt. Click here for more information.

UPGRADE FROM PYCRYPTO

For Salt releases before 3001, the PyCrypto library provided by your system packages is likely unmaintained and insecure. SaltStack strongly recommends upgrading to a more maintained library. See Hardening Salt for more info. Starting with Salt version 3001, either Pycryptodome, Pycryptodomex, or M2Crypto is installed as a dependency of Salt.

PYTHON 2.7 DEPRECATED

In light of Python 2.7 reaching its End of Life (EOL) on Jan 1st 2020, Python 2 has been deprecated and is not longer supported starting with the 3001 release.




Bootstrap - Multi-Platform

Salt Bootstrap is a shell script that detects the target platform and selects the best installation method. (Supported Platforms)

On the Salt master

Run these commands on the system that you want to use as the central management point.

curl -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com -o install_salt.sh
sudo sh install_salt.sh -P -M -x python3

Your Salt master can manage itself, so a Salt minion is installed along with the Salt master. If you do not want to install the minion, also pass the -N option.

On each Salt minion

Run these commands on each system that you want to manage using Salt.

curl -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com -o install_salt.sh
sudo sh install_salt.sh -P -x python3

Create a Local Mirror of the SaltStack Package Repo

The SaltStack package repo supports mirroring using an s3 api compatible sync tool such as the aws-cli, or rclone. Note that we use a custom endpoint so we can switch buckets easily. Please sync no more than once per day.

rclone example:

RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_TYPE=s3 RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_PROVIDER=Other RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_ENV_AUTH=false RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_ENDPOINT=https://s3.repo.saltstack.com rclone sync --fast-list --use-server-modtime -v s3:s3/ ./fullrepo/

Please make sure to include the --use-server-modtime flags as not doing so will drastically increase our costs.

If you can’t use the --use-server-modtime flag because your version of rclone is too old, you can use the -c flag:

RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_TYPE=s3 RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_PROVIDER=Other RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_ENV_AUTH=false RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_ENDPOINT=https://s3.repo.saltstack.com rclone sync --fast-list -c -v s3:s3/ ./fullrepo/

If you want to exclude the redhat version symlinks to save space, you can use an exclude:

RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_TYPE=s3 RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_PROVIDER=Other RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_ENV_AUTH=false RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_ENDPOINT=https://s3.repo.saltstack.com rclone sync --fast-list --use-server-modtime -v --exclude '**/redhat/???*/**' --delete-excluded s3:s3/ ./fullrepo/

aws-cli example:

aws --no-sign-request --endpoint-url https://s3.repo.saltstack.com s3 sync --delete --exact-timestamps s3://s3/ ./fullrepo/

For syncing https://archive.repo.saltstack.com, the endpoint url is https://s3.archive.repo.saltstack.com. Everything else is the same.
