Help:Project hosted salt master

This document describes how to host a salt master for a project.

Configure the instance as a salt master

1. Add the role::salt::masters::labs::project_master class to the instance's puppet configuration
2. Run puppet:
   • puppet agent --test --verbose
3. Find the salt master's public fingerprint:
   • salt-key --finger-all
4. Add the pub fingerprint to the salt_master_finger_override puppet option in the instance's configuration.
5. Add the instance's FQDN to the salt_master_override puppet option in the instance's configuration.
6. Remove the cached labs salt master key:
   • rm /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion_master.pub
7. Run puppet:
   • puppet agent --test --verbose

Point other instances in the project to new master

For each instance:

1. Add the master's pub fingerprint to the salt_master_finger_override puppet option in the instance's configuration.
2. Add the master's FQDN to the salt_master_override puppet option in the instance's configuration.
3. Remove the cached labs salt master key:
   • rm /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion_master.pub
4. Run puppet:
   • puppet agent --test --verbose

Sign keys on the master

1. salt-key --accept-all
