YaST Configuration Management
This module allows AutoYaST2 to delegate part of the configuration to a Software Configuration Management system. Salt and Puppet are supported.
How it works
The module will take care of:
- Installing needed packages.
- Retrieving authentication keys.
- Updating configuration if needed.
- Applying configuration during AutoYaST 2nd stage.
Example
Client/master
<configuration_management>
<type>salt</type> <!-- you can use "puppet" -->
<master>my-salt-server.example.net</master>
<auth_attempts config:type="integer">5</auth_attempts>
<auth_time_out config:type="integer">10</auth_time_out>
<keys_url>usb:/</keys_url> <!-- you can use HTTP, FTP... -->
</configuration_management>
Masterless mode
<configuration_management>
<type>salt</type> <!-- you can use "puppet" -->
<states_url>http://myserver.example.net/states.tgz</states_url>
<pillar_url>http://myserver.example.net/pillar.tgz</pillar_url> <!-- optional -->
</configuration_management>
Supported systems
Salt
In this case, salt-minion
package will be installed. If a master
is set in the AutoYaST profile, /etc/salt/minion
will be
updated. Finally, salt-call
will be used to apply the configuration.
Puppet
In this case, puppet
package will be installed. If a master
is set in the AutoYaST profile, /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
will be
updated. Finally, puppet agent
will be used to apply the configuration.
Advanced options
To set up advanced options you can use the AutoYaST file element.
