Sources for SLS Files

SLS sources are directory trees, archives, and remote stores that contain SLS files. SLS and param sources can come from many different places. The plugins that can be used to process SLS sources are in idem/idem/sls.

The format for an sls sources is:

<protocol>://<resource>

The format for authenticated sls sources is:

<protocol_plugin>://<acct_profile>@<resource>

The named acct profile associated with the protocol_plugin provider will have its values passed to ctx.acct of the appropriate cache function.

File sources that have a mimetype, such as zip files, will be unarchived before further processing.

This is an example of an idem config file that specifies sls_sources and param_sources:

idem:
  sls_sources:
    - file://path/to/sls_tree
    - file://path/to/sls_source.zip
    - git://github.com/my_user/my_project.git
    - git+http://github.com/my_user/my_project.git
    - git+https://github.com/my_user/my_project.git
  param_sources:
    - file://path/to/sls_tree
    - file://path/to/sls_source.zip
    - git://github.com/my_user/my_project.git
    - git+http://github.com/my_user/my_project.git
    - git+https://github.com/my_user/my_project.git

sls_sources and param_sources can also be specified from the CLI.

$ idem state my.sls.ref \
      --sls-sources \
      "file://path/to/sls_tree" \
      "file://path/to/sls_source.zip" \
      "git://github.com/my_user/my_project.git" \
      "git+http://github.com/my_user/my_project.git"
      "git+https://github.com/my_user/my_project.git"
      --param-sources \
      "file://path/to/sls_tree" \
      "file://path/to/sls_source.zip" \
      "git://github.com/my_user/my_project.git"
      "git+http://github.com/my_user/my_project.git"
      "git+https://github.com/my_user/my_project.git"
