# Salt Pex

A way to build [Salt](https://saltstack.com/) using [pex](https://pex.readthedocs.io/en/stable/)

and package the executable using FreeBSD's [pkgng](https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng).

It allows for a completely isolated environment for Salt.

## Use

Best to run this inside a jail since it'll be installing additional packages that

are required for Salt and pex. Assuming we are in a jail:

```sh

git clone https://github.com/sarcasticadmin/salt-pex.git

cd salt-pex

sh salt-pex.sh pkg

```

This will create a `BUILD` directory and output the pkg in the root of that directory.

Push up that pkg to a custom pkgng repo or install it directly:

```sh

pkg install salt-call-pex

rehash

salt-call --local --version

```

## Limitations

1. Due to the single entrypoint in pex, this method of building salt is limited to a

single binary. In this case the script currently uses `salt-call` allowing for

masterless configuration.

2. Some modules in salt might have issues with installing salt in this way. The

majority should be fine however.
