Run the following commands on a new host: apt update && apt -y install gnupg2 wget -O - "https://repo.saltproject.io/py3/debian/$(cat /etc/debian_version | sed 's/\..*//')/amd64/3004/SALTSTACK-GPG-KEY.pub" | apt-key add - echo "deb https://repo.saltproject.io/py3/debian/$(cat /etc/debian_version | sed 's/\..*//')/amd64/3004 bullseye main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/saltstack.list apt update mkdir -p /etc/salt/minion.d/ echo 'ipv6: True' > /etc/salt/minion.d/ipv6.conf echo 'master: salt.ffm.freifunk.net' > /etc/salt/minion.d/master.conf apt install -y salt-minion salt-call --local key.finger Init the pillar config for the new host: roles: gateway [...] Potentially include service pillar like for example: base: [...] 'prometheus1.aixit.off.de.ffffm.net': - services.cadvisor - services.pretix And now check the key on the Salt Master, add the new host and run state.apply for the first time: salt-key -F salt-key -a '' salt '' test.ping salt '' state.apply -l quiet --state-verbose=false saltenv=base
