Salt Debugging Best Practices

These notes should prove useful for those looking for tips on how to find and fix bugs, as well as those who are developing Salt and would like to improve/streamline the process.

NOTE: These notes are written from the perspective of a developer working in a Linux environment. Those on MacOS may need to make some adjustments. Those on Windows may need to make several adjustments.

You can find the MAC address for LAN1/eth0 (not the BMC MAC) via the SuperMicro IPMI interface by running the following command:

$ ipmitool -U $IPMI_USER -P $IPMI_PASS -H $IPMI_HOST raw 0x30 0x21 | tail -c 18

The eth0 MAC address will be output in this format:

00 25 90 f0 be ef

Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.

In an attempt to coallate this information for myself and others, this short tutorial is what I've found to be fairly standard procedure for creating a fork, doing your work, issuing a pull request, and merging that pull request back into the original project.

Creating a Fork

Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button. It's just that simple. Once you've done that, you can use your favorite git client to clone your repo or j

# Version 1
hash = Hash[hash.map { |k, v| [k.to_sym, v] }]

# Version 2
hash = hash.reduce({}) do |memo, (k, v)| 
  memo.tap { |m| m[k.to_sym] = v }
end
