Some Salt Stack Python tests

Salt Stack snipets

Some code snippets I should remember for a while either for Python command line, or other CLI commands to use.

Salt and nova commands, booting typical VM

Boot new VM:

Some prebuilt images on OPS

nova boot --image 1236 --flavor 103 --key_name renoirb app6
nova boot --image 75845 --flavor 103 --key_name renoirb piwik-test

Configure new VM:

# Get public IP of new node
nova list
IPADDR='1.1.1.1'
ssh $IPADDR -l ubuntu

# In the new machine
wget -O - http://bootstrap.saltstack.org | sudo sh
sudo sh -c 'echo "10.5.240.3 deployment" >> /etc/hosts'
sudo sh -c 'echo "master: deployment" >> /etc/salt/minion'
sudo service salt-minion restart

Configure app* server:

salt 'app6*' state.highstate
salt 'app6*' state.sls code.node-app
salt 'app6*' state.sls code.node-bots
salt 'app6*' state.sls code.node-piwik
salt 'app6*' state.sls code.node-project

Salt; Getting state facts:

salt '*' grains.items
salt '*' pillar.items
salt 'app6*' grains.item id

Targeting either a node name, or using RegEx, or a Grain:

salt 'app*' state.highstate
salt 'db*' state.highstate
salt -E '(bots|code|storage|project|kuma).*' state.highstate
salt -G 'roles:app_server' state.highstate

Syncing pillars/grains or restarting a service:

salt '*test*' service.restart salt-minion
salt '*test*' saltutil.sync_all

Broadcast a message

NOTE: Not finished yet, needs to test more

from an other node than the main. Must have peer: properly enabled.

salt-call 'publish.publish' 'role:logstash.elasticsearch' 'grains.item' 'id' 'grain'
