NUT has server and client applications and packages are usually separated in those two categories, so the states reflect this situation:
- <server> states are required to manage the packages that directly deal with the UPS (driver, nut-server, etc.)
- <client> states are required to manage the packages that communicate with the nut-server (upsmon, upssched, etc.)
Following NUT's configuration logic, when nut.mode: 'none', the .running states will do nothing and skip the services management.
Therefore, they'll be left as the OS packages set them.
For each of the components, there are meta-states named after the component that will include other states in the component subdir that perform the actual work.
For example, using server will include, in order:
- server.package.install
- server.config.mode
- server.config.ups
- server.config.upsd
- server.config.users
- server.service.running
You can use individual states, like
- client.package.install
- client.config.upsmon
Meta-state (This is a state that includes other states).
This installs the nut server and client packages, manages the nut configuration files and then starts the associated nut services.
This state will install the nut <component> packages only.
This state will configure the nut <component> service/s and has a dependency on nut.<component>.package.install
via include list.
This state will start the nut <component> service/s and has a dependency on nut.<component>.config
via include list.
Meta-state (This is a state that includes other states).
this state will undo everything performed in the nut meta-state in reverse order, i.e.
stops the service, removes the configuration file and then uninstalls the packages.
This state will stop the nut <component> service/s and disables them at boot time.
This state will remove the configuration of the nut <component> service and has a
dependency on nut.<component>.service.clean via include list.
This state will remove the nut <component> package/s and has a depency on
nut.<component>.config.clean via include list.
Meta-state (This is a state that includes other states).
This state installs, configures and manage a <component> and starts the associated services.
Linux testing is done with kitchen-salt.
- Ruby
- Docker
$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install
$ bin/kitchen test [platform]Where [platform] is the platform name defined in kitchen.yml,
e.g. debian-9-2019-2-py3.
Creates the docker instance and runs the nut main state, ready for testing.
Runs the inspec tests on the actual instance.
Removes the docker instance.
Runs all of the stages above in one go: i.e. destroy + converge + verify + destroy.
Gives you SSH access to the instance for manual testing.
