Bootstrap (not yet) minions using salt-ssh
a project by j_renner
Updated over 6 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.

In SUSE Manager we want to offer support for bootstrapping systems that don't have the salt-minion installed and configured yet. This can be done using salt-ssh given just a hostname, username and password. See the docs about salt rosters for even more options. What we are missing:

  • Support for using salt-ssh in our library
  • User interface allowing users to input the needed parameters so they can bootstrap their systems

      BTW, the next logical step would be to use a network scanning roster (or do the network scanning separately). I used salt-ssh with the scan roster for my SUSECon SE training. In landscapes where there is one root PW or the SSH key has been pre-distributed, mass on-boarding of systems can work really easily that way.

    (Finish) Implementing SSH in Zig by lmulling

    Description

    Following Zig's philosophy of reinventing the wheel -- for the better, a while ago I've started implementing the ssh protocol in it. I've got as far as implementing all of the primitives, keys, certs, and most of the agent protocol -- what I needed at the time. Now, the aim is to finish the implementation.

    Current implementation: git.sr.ht/~mulling/zssh

    Goals

    • Have a working implementation of the ssh protocol in Zig.
    • Be flexible, as to allow for hacking of the protocol (i.e. testing PQC algorithms).
    • Be agnostic of cryptography libraries (i.e. libcrypto, leancrypto).
