Salt-bootstrap: what url to use for windows minion bootstrap?

[mayn]

for windows, what is the recommend location to download a stable bootstrap-salt.ps1 from?

i.e for *nix everyone uses https://bootstrap.saltstack.com

(had a hard time finding it, my apologies if it is glaringly obvious)

thanks.

Hi @mayn - My apologies for not responding here sooner. This one slipped through the cracks!

I am not aware of any very obvious ways to access the file like you can for bootstrap.saltstack.com. I would imagine most people just get the raw link from GitHub to get the bootstrap-salt.ps1 file.

@twangboy Do you know if there is something easier somewhere else? Could/Should it be somewhere easier? This has been an area that I haven't paid much attention to since helping out with the bootstrap script for the last while.

[twangboy]

I don't think we have a link to the Windows bootstrap directly like we do for Linux.

[rallytime]

@twangboy Do you think this is something we can add or make more useful/helpful for people?

[twangboy]

@rallytime I'm sure we could figure something out.

Stalebot, I’m just waiting for a resolution

Thank you for updating this issue. It is no longer marked as stale.

@dwoz You might be interested in this as well, along with @dubb-b.

[dubb-b]

I will need to talk to @utahdave about the best way to go about this. But it shouldn't be an issue to add it for the .ps1. Would need to be a different URL i'd imagine.

[rallytime]

Yes, it would need to be different.

[UtahDave]

@dubb-b Yeah, we can discuss setting up something like: https://windowsbootstrap.saltstack.com or https://winbootstrap.saltstack.com. We should confer with @twangboy as well.

[twangboy]

I like winbootstrap

[twangboy]

@dwoz ^^^

[dubb-b]

winbootstrap works for me too

[rallytime]

@dubb-b I think winbootstrap is just fine. Can we make this happen?

[dubb-b]

@rallytime I am back Tuesday, I will get this rolling.

[dubb-b]

@rallytime, I talked to Dave B on getting this added. We can do that pretty
easily. My question is are we going to add docs for this?

[rallytime]

Yeah, we should. Something added to the README file in this repo should be sufficient. Can you or Dave B put that together?

[rallytime]

@dubb-b Or I can if it's something simple. I'm just not sure what the details might look like. ^

[dubb-b]

@rallytime I was wondering if we needed something either added to this:
https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/tutorials/salt_bootstrap.html Or
a new Windows version created?

@dubb-b That's a good idea to add a note there as well. I had forgotten those docs existed.

[discentem]

Hi folks, any updates on this? I'd love to see https://winbootstrap.saltstack.com or similar. Also, could we get a published sha256 checksum for the script?

[rallytime]

@dubb-b Where are we with this? I can add a step to the release checklist to update the docs for the windows checksum once we have this hosted.

[dubb-b]

@rallytime this is something @UtahDave will have to get implemented. Not sure what cycles he has for this ATM.

bump

[bryceml]

This is up and ready for testing at https://winbootstrap.saltstack.com (stable branch) and https://winbootstrap.saltstack.com/develop (develop branch) . Don't consider it production ready yet.

[discentem]

Is there a published hash somewhere for verifying the download?

[bryceml]

It's not published anywhere as far as I know, but it's currently:
md5: e87763e031068953ff2a9a682f6710fe bootstrap-salt.ps1
sha256: 55dde1280909dd60de9b57d41046d632726a9722922917ef726fe747f4c041c4 bootstrap-salt.ps1

[bryceml]

The hashes will be documented after https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap/issues/1338 is fixed.

[bryceml]

Closing issue, the TLS settings of repo.saltstack.com still need to be changed https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap/issues/1338 and this still needs documented https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap/issues/1345 . We are pulling those into their own issues though. I believe this can be considered production ready now.
