Description
Current release: 2015.5.2
This repository is for RHEL/CentOS 5 builds of Salt. It is now the official means of distributing Salt for RHEL/CentOS 5.
Looking for Fedora or RHEL/CentOS 6/7 builds?
They are in a separate COPR.
Installation Instructions
WARNING
Starting with version 2014.7.0rc4, the following components of Salt have been broken out of the salt-master package and placed into their own new packages:
- salt-syndic
- salt-cloud
- salt-ssh
- salt-api
If you are using any of these components, and are upgrading from a version of Salt earlier than 2014.7.0rc4, then when the updated salt-master package is installed these components will be removed, and they will need to be manually installed.
What packages does this repo provide?
- salt - Common files
- salt-master - salt-master daemon
- salt-minion - salt-minion daemon
- salt-syndic - salt-syndic daemon
- salt-cloud - Cloud controller for Salt
- salt-ssh - Agentless SSH-based Salt tool
- salt-api - Salt's REST API
Enabling This Repository
Manually
To manually enable this repository, download the repo file from the Active Releases section below and place it into /etc/yum.repos.d.
Using Salt
This repo can be enabled using a pkgrepo.managed state, for easier deployment to your minions:
{% if grains['os'] in ('RedHat', 'CentOS') and salt['grains.get']('osmajorrelease', 'unknown') == '5' %}
saltstack-copr-el5:
pkgrepo.managed:
- humanname: Copr repo for salt owned by saltstack
- baseurl: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/saltstack/salt-el5/epel-5-$basearch/
- gpgkey: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/saltstack/salt-el5/pubkey.gpg
- gpgcheck: 1
- skip_if_unavailable: True
- enabled: 1
{% endif %}
Alternatively, the repo file can be downloaded from the Yum Repos list below and then deployed using a file.managed state:
{% if grains['os'] in ('RedHat', 'CentOS') and salt['grains.get']('osmajorrelease', 'unknown') == '5' %}
/etc/yum.repos.d/saltstack-salt-el5.repo:
file.managed:
- source: salt://path/to/saltstack-salt-el5.repo
- user: root
- group: root
- mode: 644
{% endif %}
Either of the above two methods can be combined with a pkg.latest state to upgrade the salt-minion package, and a cmd.wait state to restart the salt-minion service.
{% if grains['os'] in ('RedHat', 'CentOS') and salt['grains.get']('osmajorrelease', 'unknown') == '5' %}
update_salt:
pkg:
- latest
- name: salt-minion
- order: last
cmd:
- wait
- name: echo service salt-minion restart | at now + 1 minute
- watch:
- pkg: update_salt
{% endif %}
Note: This example assumes that atd is installed and running, see here for a more detailed explanation.
