Alcali

What's Alcali?

Alcali is a web based tool for monitoring and administrating Saltstack Salt.

Features

• Get notified in real time when a job is created, updated or has returned.

• Store your jobs results by leveraging the master_job_store setting with database master returner.

• Check your minions conformity to their highstate or any state.

• Keep track of custom state at a glance.

• Use custom auth module to login into both Alcali and the Salt-api using JWT.

• LDAP and Google OAuth2 authentication.

Try it!

If you just want to have a look, just clone the repository and use docker-compose:

git clone https://github.com/latenighttales/alcali.git
cd alcali
docker compose up --scale minion=2

Once you see minions waiting to be approved by the master, you're good to go:

...
minion_1  | [ERROR   ] The Salt Master has cached the public key for this node, this salt minion will wait for 10 seconds before attempting to re-authenticate
minion_1  | [INFO    ] Waiting 10 seconds before retry.
...

Just connect on http://127.0.0.1:8000, login with:

username: admin
password: password

and follow the walkthrough.

Installation

The easiest way to install it is to use the salt formula.
