idem-linux 7.2

Vertical app merge components for Idem and grains support on Linux

Grains, execution modules, and state modules common to all linux systems

INSTALLATION

Install with pip:

pip install idem-linux

DEVELOPMENT INSTALLATION

Clone the idem-linux repo and install with pip:

git clone https://gitlab.com/saltstack/pop/idem-linux.git idem_linux
pip install -e idem_linux

EXECUTION

After installation the grains command should now be available

TESTING

install requirements-test.txt with pip and run pytest:

pip install -r idem-linux/requirements-test.txt
pytest idem-linux/tests

VERTICAL APP-MERGING

Instructions for extending idem-linux into an OS or distro specific pop project

Install pop:

pip install --upgrade pop

Create a new directory for the project:

mkdir idem-{specific_linux_distro}
cd idem-{specific_linux_distro}

Use pop-seed to generate the structure of a project that extends grains and idem:

pop-seed -t v idem-{specific_linux_distro} -d grains exec states

• “-t v” specifies that this is a vertically app-merged project

• “-d grains exec states” says that we want to implement the dynamic names of “grains”, “exec”, and “states”

Add “idem-linux” to the requirements.txt:

echo idem-linux >> requirements.txt

And that’s it! Go to town making grains, execution modules, and state modules specific to your linux distro. Follow the conventions you see in idem-linux.
