Creating a Salt master on Fedora 30

[DustinB3403]

This assumes you have an up-to-date Fedora Server 30 installation and that you are elevated to root.

Install salt

dnf install salt-master

Open the firewall

 firewall-cmd --add-port=4505-4506/tcp --permanent
 firewall-cmd --reload

Enable and start the service

systemctl enable --now salt-master.service 

That gets you a working Salt Master, next on to setting up salt minions, in particular OSX minions.

Dont' use bullet/number lists in instructions and guides like this. it makes it annoying for those that want to copy and paste.

This guide is assuming that you are running as root. If not prepend everything here with sudo.

Install the salt-master package

dnf install salt-master

Open the required ports in the firewall

firewall-cmd --add-port=4505-4506/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload

Enable the salt-master service to start on boow, and also start it now.

systemctl enable --now salt-master.service
