idem-windows 1

Vertical app merge components for idem and corn to support windows

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

INSTALLATION

Pip install grains:

pip install -e git+https://gitlab.com/saltstack/pop/grains.git#egg=chunkies

Clone the pop_windows repo and install with pip:

git clone https://gitlab.com/saltstack/pop/pop_windows.git
pip install -e pop_windows

EXECUTION

After installation the grains command should now be available

TESTING

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

pip install -r pop_windows\requirements-test.txt
pytest pop_windows\tests

VERTICAL APP-MERGING

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

Install pop:

pip install --upgrade pop

Create a new directory for the project:

mkdir pop_{specific_windows_system}
cd pop_{specific_windows_system}

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

pop-seed -t v pop_{specific_windows_system} -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 “pop_windows” to the requirements.txt:

echo "pop_windows @ git+https://gitlab.com/saltstack/pop/pop_windows.git" >> requirements.txt

And that’s it! Go to town making grains, execution modules, and state modules specific to your unique windows system. Follow the conventions you see in pop_windows.
