No. Salt is 100% committed to being open-source, including all of our APIs and
|
|
|
|
|
the new `'Halite' web interface`_ which will be included in version 0.17.0. It
|
|
|
|
|
is developed under the `Apache 2.0 license`_, allowing it to be used in both
|
|
|
|
|
open and proprietary projects.

Minions need to be able to connect to the master on TCP ports 4505 and 4506.
|
|
|
|
|
Minions do not need any inbound ports open. More detailed information on
|
|
|
|
|
firewall settings can be found :doc:`here </topics/tutorials/firewall>`.

These states are often confused. A description of the difference between the
|
|
|
|
|
two can be found in the docmentation for the :mod:`cmd states

How does Salt guess the Minion's hostname?
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|

|

This process is explained in detail :ref:`here <minion-id-generation>`.

Why aren't my custom modules/states/etc. syncing to my Minions?

If you are using the :doc:`git fileserver backend </topics/tutorials/gitfs>`,
|
|
|
|
|
and Salt 0.16.3 or older, then this may be due to a bug in gitfs. More
|
|
|
|
|
information about this can be found :ref:`here <faq-gitfs-bug>`.
