Creating a Salt master on Fedora 30
-
This assumes you have an up-to-date Fedora Server 30 installation and that you are elevated to root.
Install salt
dnf install salt-master
Open the firewall
firewall-cmd --add-port=4505-4506/tcp --permanent firewall-cmd --reload
Enable and start the service
systemctl enable --now salt-master.service
That gets you a working Salt Master, next on to setting up salt minions, in particular OSX minions.

Dont' use bullet/number lists in instructions and guides like this. it makes it annoying for those that want to copy and paste.
This guide is assuming that you are running as root. If not prepend everything here with
sudo
.Install the salt-master package
dnf install salt-master
Open the required ports in the firewall
firewall-cmd --add-port=4505-4506/tcp --permanent firewall-cmd --reload
Enable the salt-master service to start on boow, and also start it now.
systemctl enable --now salt-master.service
