Salt-bootstrap: How much space is needed in /tmp ?

[poofyteddy]

Description of Issue/Question

I can't install the minion because i'm running out of space in the /tmp directory
How much space do i really need, and can i change the directory used as a tmp ?

I try adding 10Gb of storage on /tmp (Overkill) and that fixed the issue.

Setup

Debian 9 VM,
/tmp size 360M, 335M Avail
Running the script from the home dir of my user.

Steps to Reproduce Issue

Limit you /tmp to 335M or lower
run $ sudo sh bootstrap-salt.sh -D git develop

Hi @poofyteddy - Sorry for not responding sooner on this. Time got away from me. :)

You'll need at least as much space there as it takes to clone salt from GitHub. GitHub's API lists the size as 419673.

Which you can find with the following command:

curl -s -k https://api.github.com/repos/saltstack/salt | grep size
