SaltStack error: could not cache the WAR file - salt-stack

Trying to deploy war file using tomcat module in salt.
Getting error as below
Salt Script
tomcat-server:
archive:
- extracted
- name: /opt/
- source: http://www.us.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.0.M1/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M1.tar.gz

- archive_format: tar
- if_missing: /opt/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M1/
tomcat_symlink:
file.symlink:
- name: /opt/tomcat
- target: apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M1
- require:
- archive: tomcat-server
deploy_war:
tomcat.war_deployed:
- name: /order-management
- war: salt://order-management.war
- require:
- file: /opt/tomcat
Not very sure what seems to be the issue. tried googling around but couldn't get anything concrete

As suggested by mootmoot ... Issue was war file not found ... I saw this : Could not find file from saltenv 'development', 'salt://order-management.war' . please check whether the war file is place under the salt:// folder (refer to your /etc/salt/master, files_root)

Need help fixing salt stack code to copy file from s3 bucket

I wrote this code to pull file from S3 bucket, change the file permission and execute the code. However, it's not working for me.
download_file_from_s3:
file.managed:
- name: /opt/agent_installer.sh
- source: s3://bucket_name/install.sh
change_file_permission:
file.managed:
- source: /opt/install.sh
- user: root
- group: root
- mode: 0744
run_rapid7_script:
cmd.run:
- name: /opt/install.sh
There are a couple of changes I can suggest looking at your code.
You are saving the file from S3 as /opt/agent_installer.sh with file.managed, let's consider that there is no issue with this.
Now, the first thing that we obviously need to change in subsequent tasks, is to use this. Not /opt/install.sh. Also file.managed can be used once to download the file, change ownership, and permissions. So your SLS can look like:
download_file_from_s3:
file.managed:
- name: /opt/agent_installer.sh
- source: s3://bucket_name/install.sh
- user: root
- group: root
- mode: 0744
run_rapid7_script:
cmd.run:
- name: /opt/agent_installer.sh
There is also a cmd.script state which can be used directly with the S3 URL as source, so there is no need to have file.managed at all.
So, just 1 state like below should be sufficient:
run_rapid7_script:
cmd.script:
- source: s3://bucket_name/install.sh
If you do have issue with downloading file from S3, then see the documentation on how to configure it correctly.

SaltStack - Use salt:// to define working directory in cmd.run state

I'm quite new to SaltStack and I'm wondering if there's a way to use salt:// URI where it's not supported natively.
In this case I would execute a command in a specific directory and I would like to specify the directory using salt:// like the following:
test_cmd:
cmd.run:
- name: echo a > test
- cwd: salt://my-state/files/
which actually doesn't work giving the error
Desired working directory "salt://my-state/files/" is not available
Is there a way to do it?
I don't think there's a way to do it the way you want, but you might be able to get what you need by combining file.recurse with cmd.run or cmd.wait:
test_cmd:
file.recurse:
- name: /tmp/testcmd
- source: salt://mystate/files
cmd.wait:
- name: echo a > test
- cwd: /tmp/testcmd
- watch:
- file: test_cmd
That copies the salt folder to the minion, then uses the copy as the working directory.

SaltStack: Ordering of States

My sls file looks like this:
init.sls
include:
- .packages
- .user_and_group
packages.sls
monitoring_packages:
pkg.installed:
- pkgs:
- git
user_and_group.sls
monitoring__group:
group.present:
- name: myuser
For some strange reason the state monitoring__group from the include "user_and_group" get executed before installing git.
Question
How can I tell salt to install the packages first?
init.sls (unchanged)
include:
- .packages
- .user_and_group
packages.sls (unchanged)
monitoring_packages:
pkg.installed:
- pkgs:
- git
user_and_group.sls (added require)
monitoring__group:
group.present:
- name: myuser
require:
- sls: packages
Docs
I found the answer here: https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/requisites.html#require-an-entire-sls-file
As of Salt 0.16.0, it is possible to require an entire sls file.
One question remains
This solves my problem. But one question remains: Why did salt execute the first version (see question) not in the top-to-bottom order? If you know it, please leave a comment.

Problems with basic usage of saltstack apache-formula

I'm new to Saltstack and I'm just trying to do some simple installs on a subset of minions. I want to include Environments so I have my file roots as:
file_roots:
base:
- /srv/salt/base
dev:
- /srv/salt/dev
qa:
- /srv/salt/qa
stage:
- /srv/salt/stage
prod:
- /srv/salt/prod
I set up the git backend:
fileserver_backend:
- git
- roots
I'm using gitfs set as:
gitfs_remotes:
- https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/postgres-formula
- https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/apache-formula
- https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/memcached-formula
- https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/redis-formula
So I have the master set up and I add top.sls to /srv/salt/stage with
include:
- apache
stage:
'stage01*':
- apache
But I get an error when I execute
salt -l debug \* state.highstate test=True
Error
stage01.example.net:
Data failed to compile:
----------
No matching sls found for 'apache' in env 'stage'
I've tried many ways and the master just can't seem to find the apache formula I configured for it.
I found the answer and it was sitting in the Saltstack docs the whole time.
First you will need to fork the current repository such as postgres-formula.
Depending on the environment create a branch of the same name in your newly create fork of the repo.
So for example I wanted to use postgres in my stage environment. So it wouldn't work until I created a branch named stage ined my forked repo of postgres-formula then it worked like a charm.

Require sls by its ID Declaration

I have two state files:
php/init.sls
php-fpm.sls
php/init.sls installs the package php53u
I'm trying to get php-fpm.sls to require php as that is how I declare it inside php/init.sls, however it only works if I require the pkg: php53u and not sls: php
Contents of php/init.sh:
php:
pkg:
- name: php53u
- installed
Contents of php-fpm.sls (using pkg where it works):
include:
- nginx
- php
php-fpm:
pkg:
- name: php53u-fpm
- installed
service:
- running
- enable: True
- require:
- pkg: php53u-fpm
- pkg: php53u
extend:
nginx:
file:
- name: /etc/nginx/php-fpm
- source: salt://nginx/src/etc/nginx/php-fpm
- managed
- template: jinja
(note that this has extra stuff about nginx that currently isn't a require though it should be)
You are correctly including the php sls file. You just need to set your require like this:
- pkg: php
Here's an example that should work:
php-fpm:
pkg:
- name: php53u-fpm
- installed
- require:
- pkg: php
service:
- running
- enable: True
- watch:
- pkg: php53u-fpm
- pkg: php
Notice that I also added the require to the pkg stanza to make sure that the php package is installed before the php53u-fpm package.
I also changed the "require" under the service stanza to a "watch". A "watch" acts as a "require", but also will restart the service if the "watched" pkg changes. So if there's a package upgrade it will restart the service automatically.
It's perfectly normal, in the require list, you need to use ID Declaration (http://docs.saltstack.com/ref/states/highstate.html#term-id-declaration).
The module php/init.sls contains only one ID Declaration : {pkg: php53u}. ID Declaration is composed of state name (pkg) and component name (php53u).
You can't require an entire module in salt, but in the last versions, modules will be executed in order of declaration, so the php module should be executed before the php-fm one. Salt will respect require requisite references in any cases.
Vocabulary in salt-stack could be a little difficult for beginners, here is a page which can helps you : http://docs.saltstack.com/ref/states/highstate.html.
