💅 SALT-PROXY(1) 💅

okay so real talk, this is the salt-proxy page from the Salt manual set, and it's genuinely one of the most underrated little guys in the whole family. sit down, bestie, we're learning today 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

salt-proxy — like, the actual documentation for it. it receives commands from a Salt master and proxies those commands to devices that are unable to run a full minion. yes that's the whole personality. no cap. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

salt-proxy [ options ]

that's it. that's the whole thing. iconic behaviour honestly. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so picture this: your fave Salt proxy minion is out here receiving commands from a Salt master, then it transmits appropriate commands to devices that are unable to run a minion, and then it replies with the results of said commands. it's giving middle-manager energy but in the best possible way — like the friend who texts the group chat for you when you're socially drained. 😭🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --proxyid — the minion id that this proxy will assume. this one is required, bestie, so pls don't forget it 🙈
  • --version — prints the version of Salt that's running. simple. clean. ate. ✨
  • --versions-report — shows the program's dependencies and version number, and then dips out (exits). 💨
  • -h, --help — shows the help message and exits. the classic. 🌸
  • -c CONFIG_DIR, --config-dir=CONFIG_dir — the location of the Salt configuration directory. this directory contains the configuration files for Salt master and minions. on most systems the default location is /etc/salt. 💖
  • -u USER, --user=USER — specify the user to run salt-proxy as 👑
  • -d, --daemon — run salt-proxy as a daemon. main character energy, no terminal needed 🦋
  • --pid-file PIDFILE — specify the location of the pidfile. default is /var/run/salt-proxy-<id>.pid 📍

🌈 Logging Options 🌈

these are the logging options, and heads up — they override any settings defined on the configuration files. so like, they win. periodt. 💅

  • -l LOG_LEVEL, --log-level=LOG_LEVEL — console logging log level. it's one of all, garbage, trace, debug, info, warning, error, quiet. default is warning. ⭐
  • --log-file=LOG_FILE — log file path. default is /var/log/salt/minion. 🍓
  • --log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE — logfile logging log level. one of all, garbage, trace, debug, info, warning, error, quiet. default is warning. 💜
ngl the garbage log level is such a vibe check and i love that for us 💀
