Salt Minion Problems
-
@Francesco-Provino the minion does have a long hostname but it is unique, also the master is properly named as salt and discoverable via dns.
-
Heres the new problem, the master doesn't have a key to accept.
-
-
My vms are all set, I'll run the installation to better help you troubleshoot this. Meanwhile lets try restarting the service
sudo service salt-minion restart -
And try checking the master again.
-
@Romo stil' nothing
-
Is the minion looking to the right master?
-
Is the master's firewall ports open for Salt to be listening?

how do I check these? I KNOW none of these commands and cant find one on the website
-
@WrCombs by default a salt minion will try communicate with a master named salt.
-
@WrCombs from your minion first try to ping your salt master by hostname so:
ping salt -
yes,
I read that part. -

Well the instructions for what to open are here:

Here is how to see the firewall rules for the public zone...
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-all -

That looks wrong
That's going after the public master, not your own. -
That would explain it refusing the key, you are contacting a different Salt Master. You need to go into /etc/hosts and put in an entry for your own Salt master.

@WrCombs said in Salt Minion Problems:
This is one of the reasons your salt-master doesn't register the minions key
-
Did you follow the minion installation instructions? Setting "salt" in /etc/hosts was part of the instructions.
