Salt lock module

This only contains the lock state module which prevents simultaneous executions of states. Useful during orchestration runs.

Named like a formula for easier packaging.

Available states

lock(name, path=/var/lib/salt/)

Write a lock file.

unlock(name, path=/var/lib/salt/)

Deletes a lock file.

check(name, path=/var/lib/salt/)

Checks whether a lock file is present (i.e. the operation is currently locked).

Orchestration example

{%- set lock = 'my_important_operation' %}

check_lock:
  lock.check:
    - name: '{{ lock }}'
    - failhard: True

lock:
  lock.lock:
    - name: '{{ lock }}'
    - failhard: True

# some important states go here

unlock:
  lock.unlock:
    - name: '{{ lock }}'
