salt-sproxy 101

This is the first example from the Quick Start section of the documentation.

Using the Master configuration file under examples/master:

/etc/salt/master:

pillar_roots:
  base:
    - /srv/salt/pillar

The pillar_roots option points to /srv/salt/pillar, so to be able to use this example, either create a symlink to the pillar directory in this example, or copy the files. For example, if you just cloned this repository:

$ mkdir -p /srv/salt/pillar
$ git clone git@github.com:mirceaulinic/salt-sproxy.git
$ cp salt-sproxy/examples/master /etc/salt/master
$ cp salt-sproxy/examples/101/pillar/*.sls /srv/salt/pillar/

The contents of these two files:

/srv/salt/pillar/top.sls:

base:
  mininon1:
    - dummy

/srv/salt/pillar/dummy.sls:

proxy:
  proxytype: dummy

Having this setup ready, you can go ahead an execute:

$ salt-sproxy minion1 test.ping
minion1:
    True

# let's display the list of packages installed via pip on this computer
$ salt-sproxy minion1 pip.list
minion1:
