Salt Rosters¶

Salt rosters在0.17.0版本中被加入，用来方便 salt-ssh 的使用。roster被创建是因为 salt-ssh 需要一种方法来针对特定的目标系统执行命令。

注解

标准的Salt并不需要Roster ，因为master不需要知道目标系统，minion会主动连接master。

roster系统为可插拔设计, 可以非常方便的加入到已有的系统中，用于``salt-ssh`` 获取需要连接的服务器信息. 默认情况下roster文件本地路径为 /etc/salt/roster.

Rosters如何工作¶

The roster system compiles a data structure internally referred to as targets. The targets is a list of target systems and attributes about how to connect to said systems. The only requirement for a roster module in Salt is to return the targets data structure.

目标数据¶

The information which can be stored in a roster target is the following:

<Salt ID>:       # The id to reference the target system with
    host:        # The IP address or DNS name of the remote host
    user:        # The user to log in as
    passwd:      # The password to log in with

    # Optional parameters
    port:        # The target system's ssh port number
    sudo:        # Boolean to run command via sudo
    tty:         # Boolean: Set this option to True if sudo is also set to
                 # True and requiretty is also set on the target system
    priv:        # File path to ssh private key, defaults to salt-ssh.rsa
                 # The priv can also be set to agent-forwarding to not specify
                 # a key, but use ssh agent forwarding
    timeout:     # Number of seconds to wait for response when establishing
                 # an SSH connection
    minion_opts: # Dictionary of minion opts
    thin_dir:    # The target system's storage directory for Salt
                 # components. Defaults to /tmp/salt-<hash>.
    cmd_umask:   # umask to enforce for the salt-call command. Should be in
                 # octal (so for 0o077 in YAML you would do 0077, or 63)

thin_dir¶

Salt needs to upload a standalone environment to the target system, and this defaults to /tmp/salt-<hash>. This directory will be cleaned up per normal systems operation.

If you need a persistent Salt environment, for instance to set persistent grains, this value will need to be changed.
