Installation
============
Salt is available in binary package form from both the FreeBSD pkgng repository
or directly from SaltStack. The instructions below outline installation via
both methods:
FreeBSD repo
============
The FreeBSD pkgng repository is preconfigured on systems 10.x and above. No
configuration is needed to pull from these repositories.
.. code-block:: shell
pkg install py27-salt
These packages are usually available within a few days of upstream release.
.. _freebsd-upstream:
SaltStack repo
==============
SaltStack also hosts internal binary builds of the Salt package, available from
https://repo.saltstack.com/freebsd/. To make use of this repository, add the
following file to your system:
**/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/saltstack.conf:**
.. code-block:: json
saltstack: {
url: "https://repo.saltstack.com/freebsd/${ABI}/",
enabled: yes
}
You should now be able to install Salt from this new repository:
.. code-block:: shell
pkg install py27-salt
These packages are usually available earlier than upstream FreeBSD. Also
available are release candidates and development releases. Use these pre-release
packages with caution.
Post-installation tasks
=======================
**Master**
Copy the sample configuration file:
.. code-block:: shell
cp /usr/local/etc/salt/master.sample /usr/local/etc/salt/master
**rc.conf**
Activate the Salt Master in ``/etc/rc.conf``:
.. code-block:: shell
sysrc salt_master_enable="YES"
**Start the Master**
Start the Salt Master as follows:
.. code-block:: shell
service salt_master start
**Minion**
Copy the sample configuration file:
.. code-block:: shell
cp /usr/local/etc/salt/minion.sample /usr/local/etc/salt/minion
**rc.conf**
Activate the Salt Minion in ``/etc/rc.conf``:
.. code-block:: shell
sysrc salt_minion_enable="YES"
**Start the Minion**
Start the Salt Minion as follows:
.. code-block:: shell
service salt_minion start
