pepper

In my post about SaltStack external auth I wrote about how to configure the salt master and cli to use ldap authentication. Wouldn’t it be neat to have remote access to salt to run commands? There’s a nice tool/library called pepper which fills this gap. It’s easy to install via pip: pip3 install salt-pepper To have nice formatted output like with salt cli make sure that the salt libs are installed (either by installing the package via pkg_add or via pip too).

saltstack external auth

Tags:  #saltstack #salt-auth #eauth #ldap

Before I suggest other people solutions I usually try them at home (or in case of eg. health or nutrition topics at myself) first. As of with operating system access I don’t like to run commands directly as root if not really necessary. The same applies to Salt too. Salt is able to use external authentication like pam or ldap. Because I run everything on OpenBSD there’s of course no pam (painful auth modules) so I decided to get Salt with my OpenLDAP1 setup working. Read more...

why the hell?

If someone has found his way to my blog he might be surprised that there’s hardly any content yet. Yeah, it’s because I got “featuritis”. First I thought it would be nice to be able to have comments. Then I stumbled across goatcounter and wanted to integrate that too. And finally I decided to have a search function available which costed me the most nerves and fiddeling. So stay tuned I’ll write about all that soon. Read more...

isso installation on OpenBSD

After my son asked me if we could run a content management system for him I was playing around with wordpress, joomla and drupal. For me it’s like a massive overkill and much too complicated. So I decided to give my own blog another try after two years doing nothing with hugo stuff. Then I got the idea that the ability to leave comments would be a really nice feature. After digging into this a little bit I stumbled across isso - a simple python based solution able to be self hosted as a disqus alternative with privacy in mind. Read more...
