If you have #SaltStack in your system,
You're in for a nice surprise:
It carries a complete #Python 3.10 env within.
Now you're no longer limited
to what Python yout OS carries.
You can even spin off a venv out of it!
#PythonProgramming
Published my #saltstack wrapper for #uv
A basic stub but will likely tidy it up a bit more later

This is done as part of my home lab cleanup/refresh.
Not yet sure if it's a #python #debian (raspi bookworm) #setuptools or #saltstack thing, but had errors loading a package installed as `--editable`
It created a `<package>.pth` file that looked fine, but couldn't seem to load it until I renamed it to `__editable__.<package>.pth`

#SaltProject #SaltStack
For tonight's #MokuMokuKai , did an experiment to make some #kafka modules for #saltstack to manage Kafka topics.
Goal is something like
```yml

kafka.present:
- config:
cleanup.policy: delete

#packaging #python #saltstack
I've been using #saltstack for years, but slowly coming to the realization it might be time to move on. Not really a fan of #ansible or #terraform so I'm not sure I would migrate to that. Reluctantly thinking it might be time to bite the bullet and properly give #k8s a chance. Not a huge fan of [β¦]

Heck that reminds me that I _should_ use a fixture to inject __salt__ and __opts__ dependencies for my #SaltStack custom stats & modules test cases.
Rather than repeating the code ad nauseam.
Buuut pytest-mock makes that really simple hehehe π
A Letter from David Murphy: Retiring from Tech

A screenshot of the linked Reddit thread, hence why I don't copy the whole text. Just go to Reddit for the text.
Agent-based management where agents routinely call back to Central can prevent being blockwalled by SSH failures.
That's the benefit of #SaltStack
And that's why I don't want to go "agentless" like #Ansible

Anytime anyone needs an audit of compliance, just run #Salt !
Done in seconds!
Plus I can make custom compliance-checkers in #Python, masquerading as custom states!
#SaltStack #SaltProject
I use #SaltStack as compliance checking, and it's great!
salt '*' state.apply compliance/all test=True
Add references to the compliance docs in the jobs' ID, such as:
"D02:4.1.7 Ensure etckeeper daily is active"
Then use the `_id` version of outputter.
Voila!
R-Y-G dashboard of compliance!
