Port Spacewalk to Salt-Stack
an invention by dmacvicar
Updated almost 2 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️.

Spacewalk has its custom client stack.

Salt stack provides a big bunch of it, but it is a popular community project and add other features on top:

  • realtime bidirectional communication
  • a configuration management framework

Is is closely related to https://hackweek.suse.com/projects/192, except for:

  • Configuration management stack to use is not an implementation detail. It is Salt stack.
  • Not interested in translating actions into policies. Actions go to actions. Policies is a separate topic.

Results

While this prototype was thrown away, the ideas and design were used to do the final SUSE Manager / Salt integration and resulted in a close cooperation and partnership between SUSE and Saltstack Inc.

      Current progress: salt-registerd python daemon register minions automatically in spacewalk and (wip) uploads the package profile. It reacts to the Salt event bus.

      Java library to controll Salt's net-api WIP, Johannes integrating it with the goal of running a remote command from the Spacewalk webapp.
