Salt is an open-source software for automation, remote execution, and configuration management. It is used to manage servers, devices, or cloud infrastructure. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Salt on a Fedora Server latest version.
Before installing Salt, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
To install Salt on Fedora, follow the steps listed below.
Open the terminal on your Fedora Server.
Update the system using the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install -y https://repo.saltstack.com/py3/fedora/latest/x86_64/Salt-2021.11.0-1.fc34.x86_64.rpm
sudo dnf makecache
sudo dnf install salt-minion
salt-minion --version
If the installation was successful, you should see a version number displayed on the screen.
Now that Salt is installed, it needs to be configured to work with your infrastructure.
sudo nano /etc/salt/minion
master: 192.168.0.100
Replace 192.168.0.100 with the IP address of your Salt master server.
Save and close the configuration file.
Start the Salt minion service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start salt-minion
sudo systemctl enable salt-minion
You have successfully installed and configured Salt on your Fedora Server latest distribution. You can now use Salt to manage your servers, devices, or cloud infrastructure. You can learn more about Salt by visiting the official SaltStack website.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
