Describe the bug
I installed everything following the instruction. I can't access the web interface on the port

To Reproduce

  • Install salt-stack on Fedora 37.
  • Install SaltGUI from github
  • modify /etc/salt/master according to instructions
  • restart salt-master and salt-api

/etc/salt/master

auto_accept: True
external_auth:
  pam:
      saltadmin:
          - .*
          - '@runner'
          - '@wheel'
          - '@jobs'


rest_cherrypy:
  port: 3333
  host: 0.0.0.0
  disable_ssl: true
  app: /opt/SaltGUI-1.28.0/saltgui/index.html
  static: /opt/SaltGUI-1.28.0/saltgui/static
  static_path: /static

Expected behaviour
expected UI on http://my.ip.addr:3333

Additional context
When starting salt-master I get [ERROR ] ReqServer clients tcp://0.0.0.0:4506 but the minions are able to connect.

The error from salt-master seems common as it is in my logfile too:

2023-01-08 03:04:12,600 [salt.transport.zeromq:328 ][ERROR ][356634] ReqServer clients tcp://0.0.0.0:4506
2023-01-08 03:04:12,600 [salt.transport.zeromq:330 ][ERROR ][356634] ReqServer workers ipc:///var/run/salt/master/workers.ipc

are you able to use regular salt commands?

phanos-engineer commented

Yes, I'm able to connect to the minions.

Here is the detailed debug log of the salt-master

salt-master.log

And here is the config for master /etc/salt/master

the rest_cherry port has changed between the original request and the latest comment. earlier it was 3333, now it is 8000. I assume you reinstalled with some different values?

is 'saltadmin' a regular user that you can also use to login normally?

what happens when you connect to the rest_cherry address+port with a browser?

  • does any kind of content show?
  • does any error show? not found? unreachable? timeout? etc...
  • does the login page become visible?
  • does the login process fail? if so how?
    in short: how far in the connect/login process do you actually get?
