saltenv 0.2.0

Salt binary installation and management tool

saltenv is a Salt binary installation and management tool, inspired by tfenv

About

saltenv allows users to easily install multiple salt binaries built with tiamat. This is useful for standalone machine (desktop/laptop) configuration where the full Salt installation isn’t warranted or necessary.

saltenv is built as a POP application, which allows it to leverage other POP plugins in the ecosystem or plug into other applications as necessary.

What is POP?

This project is built with pop, a Python-based implementation of Plugin Oriented Programming (POP). POP seeks to bring together concepts and wisdom from the history of computing in new ways to solve modern computing problems.

Examples

Basic salt binary setup with version 3004:

# Example CLI commands


# List remote versions

$ saltenv list-remote
3004rc1
3004
3003.3
3003


# Install version 3004

$ saltenv install 3004
Processing tarball...


# Use version 3004

$ saltenv use 3004


# List local versions

$ saltenv list
* 3004 set by /home/nmhughes/.saltenv/version
  3003.3
  3003


# Initialize the saltenv environment, which will point to the salt binaries

$ saltenv init
Add the saltenv bin directory to your PATH:

    echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.saltenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
OR:
    echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.saltenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.saltenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
$ source ~/.zshrc


# Kick the tires!

$ salt call test.version
local:
    3004
