Pepper
Pepper contains a Python library and CLI scripts for accessing a remote salt-api instance.
pepperlib abstracts the HTTP calls to salt-api so existing Python
projects can easily integrate with a remote Salt installation just by
instantiating a class.
The pepper CLI script allows users to execute Salt commands from computers
that are external to computers running the salt-master or salt-minion
daemons as though they were running Salt locally. The long-term goal is to add
additional CLI scripts maintain the same interface as Salt's own CLI scripts
(salt, salt-run, salt-key, etc).
Usage
Basic usage is in heavy flux.
export SALTAPI_USER=saltdev SALTAPI_PASS=saltdev SALTAPI_EAUTH=pam
pepper '*' test.ping
pepper '*' test.kwarg hello=dollyConfiguration
You can configure pepper through the command line, using environment variables
or in a configuration file $HOME/.pepperrc with the following syntax :
[main] SALTAPI_URL=https://localhost:8000/ SALTAPI_USER=saltdev SALTAPI_PASS=saltdev SALTAPI_EAUTH=pam
Current status
The project is currently pre-alpha.
Follow progress by watching the project milestones. We'll tag and upload a release to PyPI once the project is ready for a first release.
