      I have two linodes and installed Sodium on both units. The did an initial check in but nothing since Dec 13/14. Is that something with Linode not allowing them to check in?

          @aaronstuder Could be, I'll check. But why would it check in for a few times and then stop? Wouldn't the firewall rules keep it from checking in at all?

            VPS are transparent on a network. So anything like this will work there the same as if it is not a VPS.

              I'm curious to know they checked in but haven't been seen since Dec 13/14 then.

                    Interesting, I know there was an issue before but now it should work.

                          Is the salt-minion Process running?

                              Good command to make that easier...

                              ps aux | grep salt

                                    It’s Linux. Often that simple.

                                      You may also want to make sure it starts at boot...

                                      systemctl enable salt-minion
