Can't install salt-minion

Hello Support team,

I can’t install salt-minion. it says you have specified that the package 'salt-minion should be installed. this package does not exist. Would you like to ignore this package and continue with installation?

Could you please advice me on how to fix this issue?

Kind regards,

Bahram

Hello Bahram,

This forum is for support for Foreman, a tool which (among other things) can connect to various configuration management such as salt.
If you are having trouble installing salt itself, perhaps https://support.saltstack.com/ would be a better place to get help with it.
If the issue is regarding the Foreman integration with salt, please give further details on what you are trying to do and how.

Hello tbrisker,

<%= section_end -%>

but I can’t install it, during the CentOS installation process, it says this it says you have specified that the package 'salt-minion should be installed. this package does not exist. Would you like to ignore this package and continue with installation?

Kind regards,

Bahram

You need to make sure, that the host is able to receive the package named salt-minion. If you use katello, make sure to sync the centos/saltstack repository.

Have a look at https://repo.saltstack.com/index.html#rhel On this page you find the information how to add the saltstack repository. You can add a small chapter to your provisioning template to install the saltstack-repo package.
