SALT CVE UPDATES
Salt Project has identified CVEs that need your attention. For more information, see the following security announcements:
For further information on CVE fixes, they can be referenced in the changelogs:
ARCHIVE.REPO.SALTPROJECT.IO
SEP 22 was accepted which means that all unsupported and CVE affected releases have been moved to https://archive.repo.saltproject.io. 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. Salt Project 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 no longer supported starting with the 3001 release.
For Salt 3000, only the following OS targets have Python 2 packages available:
Salt Bootstrap is a shell script that detects the target platform and selects the best installation method. (Supported Platforms)
Run these commands on the system that you want to use as the central management point.
curl -fsSL https://bootstrap.saltproject.io -o install_salt.sh
sudo sh install_salt.sh -P -M -x python3Your 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.
Run these commands on each system that you want to manage using Salt.
curl -fsSL https://bootstrap.saltproject.io -o install_salt.sh
sudo sh install_salt.sh -P -x python3Post-installation configuration

The installer can be run silently by providing the /S option at the command line. The options /master and /minion-name allow for configuring the master hostname and minion name, respectively. Here’s an example of running a silent installation from the command line:
Salt-Minion-3002.5-Py3-AMD64-Setup.exe /S /master=yoursaltmaster /minion-name=yourminionnameThe installer can be run silently by providing the /quiet and /norestart option at the command line. The options MASTER and MINION_ID allow for configuring the master hostname and minion name, respectively. Here’s an example of running a silent installation from the command line:
msiexec /i Salt-Minion-3002.5-Py3-AMD64.msi /quiet /norestart MASTER=yoursaltmaster MINION_ID=yourminionnamePost-installation configuration
OS X Gatekeeper settings might prevent installation of the Salt package. If a warning appears during installation, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > click Open Anyway
After the installation completes, run the following to configure the Salt minion ID, the Salt master location, and to start the required services.
sudo salt-config -i yourminionname -m yoursaltmasterOn OS X, the Salt minion configuration file is in the standard /etc/salt/minion location. To stop the Salt minion, run the following:
sudo launchctl stop com.saltstack.salt.minionTo start the Salt minion, run the following:
sudo launchctl start com.saltstack.salt.minionPost-installation configuration

The Salt Project 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.saltproject.io 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.saltproject.io 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.saltproject.io 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.saltproject.io s3 sync --delete --exact-timestamps s3://s3/ ./fullrepo/For syncing https://archive.repo.saltproject.io, the endpoint url is https://s3.archive.repo.saltproject.io. Everything else is the same.
