SaltStack Package Repo

Download and install the 3000 release of SaltStack.


Get Started

Our Fundamentals Guide is a great place to learn the basics.

SaltStack Platform Support

Visit the SaltStack Platform Support site to learn how long a particular operating system and SaltStack version will receive official packages, testing, and technical support.

These instructions are for an older release of SaltStack. You might want to view instructions for the latest release instead.

Bootstrap works across many platforms and is the easiest way to get started. If you cannot use Bootstrap or if you prefer packages, click the tab for your platform.

Latest release: 3000.3 (May 13, 2020)

ARCHIVE.REPO.SALTSTACK.COM

SEP 22 was accepted which means that all unsupported and CVE affected releases have been moved to https://archive.repo.saltstack.com. If you get 404 errors from your package manager, the release you were using probably moved there. Please consider upgrading to a supported version of Salt. Click here for more information.

Salt CVE

SaltStack has identified a CVE that needs immediate attention. For more information, click here.

CVE Patch 2018.8.x 2017.7.x 2016.11.x 2016.3.x

If you are running older versions (2016.x, 2017.x and 2018.x) that are no longer supported you may 1) upgrade to a newer version or 2) complete this FORM to gain access to a patch for the older versions.

UPGRADE FROM PYCRYPTO

The PyCrypto library provided by your system packages is likely unmaintained and insecure. SaltStack strongly recommends upgrading to a more maintained library. See Hardening Salt for more info.

PYTHON 2.7 DEPRECATION

In light of Python 2.7 reaching its End of Life (EOL) on Jan 1st 2020, Python 2 will be deprecated from SaltStack no earlier than the Sodium release, that is either the Sodium release or a later release. This decision is pending further community discussion.




Bootstrap - Multi-Platform

Salt Bootstrap is a shell script that detects the target platform and selects the best installation method. (Supported Platforms)

On the Salt master

Run these commands on the system that you want to use as the central management point.

curl -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com -o install_salt.sh
sudo sh install_salt.sh -P -M

Your Salt master can manage itself, so a Salt minion is installed along with the Salt master. If you do not want to install the minion, also pass the -N option.

On each Salt minion

Run these commands on each system that you want to manage using Salt.

curl -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com -o install_salt.sh
sudo sh install_salt.sh -P

Post-installation configuration

Create a Local Mirror of the SaltStack Package Repo

The SaltStack package repo supports mirroring using an s3 api compatible sync tool such as the aws-cli, or rclone. Note that we use a custom endpoint so we can switch buckets easily. Please sync no more than once per day.

rclone example:

RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_TYPE=s3 RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_PROVIDER=Other RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_ENV_AUTH=false RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_ENDPOINT=https://s3.repo.saltstack.com rclone sync --fast-list --use-server-modtime -v s3:s3/ ./fullrepo/

Please make sure to include the --use-server-modtime flags as not doing so will drastically increase our costs.

If you can’t use the --use-server-modtime flag because your version of rclone is too old, you can use the -c flag:

RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_TYPE=s3 RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_PROVIDER=Other RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_ENV_AUTH=false RCLONE_CONFIG_S3_ENDPOINT=https://s3.repo.saltstack.com rclone sync --fast-list -c -v s3:s3/ ./fullrepo/

aws-cli example:

aws --no-sign-request --endpoint-url https://s3.repo.saltstack.com s3 sync --delete --exact-timestamps s3://s3/ ./fullrepo/

The SaltStack package repo supports mirroring using rsync.

Rsync is being deprecated, please considier moving to an s3 sync method as it supports encryption. Support for rsync will be removed no earlier than June 30th 2020.

rsync rsync://rsync.repo.saltstack.com

For example:

rsync -vaH --numeric-ids --delete --delete-after --delay-updates rsync://rsync.repo.saltstack.com/saltstack_pkgrepo_full ./fullrepo
