I'm having some difficulty absorbing the full purpose of pillar. Is it there to provide a logical separation between data and the implementation of the state via the sls files? In which case, why can't I retrieve whole files from it? (e.g. why do I need to get files from the state tree rather than the pillar tree?) - and if not, then I'm a bit confused as to why we should separate _some_ data. For example, bind zone files: I don't want every node to |
| 01:16 |
cliffstah |
have the same zone files, some serve some domains, some others. So logically they should be data, and live with the pillar variables, no? But it seems the only way I can do this, would be to represent my zone files in yaml and use a template to write out the actual zone files. Short version: I'm confused. |

Pillar is for centrally managed metadata about your environment |
| 02:14 |
Eugene |
Per your intuition, yes, there is a lacking for file distribution, in particular for private-key data or such. |
| 02:17 |
manfred |
cliffstah: you can use yaml multiline block variable to distribute keys |
| 02:18 |

| 02:19 |
manfred |
i would just template the whole config file in jinja, and use template stuff that gets passed to context: |
| 02:19 |
manfred |
and pull from pillar data |
| 02:20 |
manfred |
so you would have one for loop in a state file in jinja for all of your zones and virtual hosts |
| 02:20 |
manfred |
and then pull from pillar data to be assigned to every server, that has a list of all the domains that should be on each server |
| 02:20 |
manfred |
and then you just store information about each domain in a seperate pillar |

Hi! |
| 10:43 |
fp2099 |
Can someone explain how can I deal with offline minions? What I want to know is what happens if I perform a remote execution and one or more minions are offline? |
| 10:43 |
fp2099 |
Can I make it schedule to do it later and send report? |

hi guys - I have been struggling for couple of hours now and I still am lost - I’ve configured a vagrant box provisioned with salt. The provisioning was working fine. Then I destroyed the box, upped again and is not installing the packages. There are no errors in the logs. Ideas? |
| 13:03 |
deddu |
the sources are here : https://bitbucket.org/acadeddu/vagaslat |
| 13:06 |
|
bhosmer joined #salt |
| 13:06 |
deddu |
can it be due to a parsing error in the states? |
| 13:19 |
deddu |
so - excluding one of the sls made it go trough - so how do I check the syntax? there are tools for that? I’m surprised it did not log any parsing error |

Hello. I am just getting started with salt, and i have a small question. I am managing repositories via salt, and everytime i do a change in a repository definition, salt just appends a new line to the file |
| 17:04 |
cristian2 |
is there a way to force rewriting the entire file? |
| 17:05 |
manfred |
are you using pkgrepo.managed? |
| 17:05 |
xnoise |
yep |
| 17:05 |
Gareth |
morning |
| 17:05 |
manfred |
i thought it did rewrite the files... |
| 17:06 |
manfred |
https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/develop/salt/modules/yumpkg.py#L1520 |
| 17:07 |
manfred |
ahh |
| 17:07 |
manfred |
if it already exists it just edits |
| 17:07 |
xnoise |
i just realized, if the operation is successful all is ok |
| 17:07 |
manfred |
xnoise: yeah, do a pkgrepo.absent followed by a pkgrepo.managed to have it completely rewrite it https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/develop/salt/states/pkgrepo.py#L313 |
| 17:08 |
xnoise |
ok, thanks alot |
| 17:20 |
xnoise |
so i think i figured why i had the issue before: |
| 17:21 |
xnoise |
if there is a failed operation in one of the repo files, the file gets created. Fixing the operation only appends to the file, that's why i needed to remove the file before |
| 17:22 |
xnoise |
in my case i forgot initially to put the deb in front of the repo, file got created in the minions without the deb, but the operation failed because that's not a valid repo declaration |
| 17:22 |
xnoise |
fixing the operation didn't override the previous failed one, but appended |

salt has no way to know what old content was bad, once you make that change to that state file |

i was thinking this :), but i come from puppet environments and it caught me a little off guard |

I have two states, ssh, and x2go. |
| 22:08 |
sunkist |
In my ssh state, I have a file.managed sshd_config. |
| 22:08 |
sunkist |
Now in my x2go state, I would like to specify that iff x2go is installed, ONE line of sshd_config changes. |
| 22:09 |
sunkist |
But salt complain when I try to manage sshd_config with both file.managed and file.sed. |
| 22:09 |
|
redondos joined #salt |

I could just edit the file.managed template in the ssh state to do what I need, but I don't want my ssh code to have to know about all the services it's supporting. |
| 22:10 |
sunkist |
What is the proper way to code this up in salt? |

Ryan_Lane joined #salt |

sunkist: what exactly are you changing in the file.managed? |

also, i would recommend using file.replace instead of .sed |

manfred, file.managed is setting up stuff like an alternate listening port, etc. |
| 23:56 |
manfred |
sunkist: is there any reason that can't be done with file.replace? |
| 23:57 |
sunkist |
manfred, no technical reason not to. |
| 23:57 |
sunkist |
At this point, I could do quite a few things an make it work, I just want to do something scalable. |
| 23:58 |
manfred |
i would just use file.replace where ever possible |
| 23:58 |
sunkist |
Done. |
| 23:58 |
sunkist |
Now how do I make a change to a state from another state? |
| 23:58 |
manfred |
i prefer not to use file.managed if there is a default configuration file provided by a package |
| 23:58 |
manfred |
sunkist: use jinja templating |
| 23:59 |
sunkist |
So jinja will check pillar for data, and secondary state can force a change in the primary state by adding some pillar info? |
| 23:59 |
sunkist |
Whatever I do, I want to make sure I can repeat it and maintain it. |
| 23:59 |
|
bhosmer joined #salt |
| 23:59 |
manfred |
well... all I was going to do would just do another file.replace in your second state if some condition is met |
