Salt is a powerful infrastructure management and automation software. It is used to manage and automate large-scale deployments of servers and applications.
In this tutorial, we will go through the steps necessary to install Salt on MXLinux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
Launch the terminal on your MXLinux Latest system.
Update the package list by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Install Salt by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install salt-master salt-minion
Once Salt is installed, start the Salt-Master service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start salt-master
Open the configuration file for Salt-Master by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/salt/master
Look for the following line:
#interface: 0.0.0.0
Uncomment the line by removing the # symbol, and replace 0.0.0.0 with the IP address of your MXLinux Latest system.
For example:
interface: 192.168.0.100
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y and Enter.
Restart the Salt-Master service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart salt-master
Open the configuration file for Salt-Minion by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/salt/minion
Look for the following line:
#master: salt
Uncomment the line by removing the # symbol, and replace salt with the IP address or hostname of your Salt-Master.
For example:
master: 192.168.0.100
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y and Enter.
Start the Salt-Minion service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start salt-minion
Salt is now installed and configured on your MXLinux Latest system. You can now use it to manage and automate your infrastructure.
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!
