Two coupled changes that together let so_pillar.* be the canonical
config store, with config edits driving service reloads automatically:
so-yaml PG-canonical mode
- Adds /opt/so/conf/so-yaml/mode (and SO_YAML_BACKEND env override) with
three values: dual (legacy), postgres (PG-only for managed paths),
disk (emergency rollback). Bootstrap files (secrets.sls, ca/init.sls,
*.nodes.sls, top.sls, ...) stay disk-only regardless via the existing
SkipPath allowlist in so_yaml_postgres.locate.
- loadYaml/writeYaml/purgeFile now route to so_pillar.* in postgres
mode: replace/add/get all read+write the database with no disk file
ever appearing. PG failure is fatal in postgres mode (no silent
fallback); dual mode preserves the prior best-effort mirror.
- so_yaml_postgres gains read_yaml(path), is_pg_managed(path), and
is_enabled() so so-yaml can answer "is this path PG-managed and is
PG up" without reaching into private helpers.
- schema_pillar.sls writes /opt/so/conf/so-yaml/mode = postgres after
the importer succeeds, so flipping postgres:so_pillar:enabled flips
so-yaml's behavior in lockstep with the schema being live.
pg_notify-driven change fan-out
- 008_change_notify.sql adds so_pillar.change_queue + an AFTER trigger
on pillar_entry that enqueues the locator and pg_notifies
'so_pillar_change'. Queue is drained at-least-once so engine restarts
don't lose events; pg_notify is just the wakeup signal.
- New salt-master engine pg_notify_pillar.py LISTENs on the channel,
drains the queue with FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED, debounces bursts, and
fires 'so/pillar/changed' events grouped by (scope, role, minion).
- Reactor so_pillar_changed.sls catches the tag and dispatches to
orch.so_pillar_reload, which carries a DISPATCH map of pillar-path
prefix -> (state sls, role grain set) so adding a new service to
the auto-reload list is a one-line edit instead of a new reactor.
- Engine + reactor wiring is gated on the same postgres:so_pillar:enabled
flag as the schema and ext_pillar config so the whole stack flips
on/off together.
Tests: 21 new cases (112 total, all passing) covering mode resolution,
PG-managed detection, and PG-canonical read/write/purge routing with
the PG client stubbed.
Hooks every so-yaml.py write through a new so_yaml_postgres helper that
mirrors disk YAML mutations into so_pillar.pillar_entry via docker exec
psql. Disk remains canonical during the transition; PG mirror failures
are logged only when a real write error occurs (skipped paths and
postgres-unreachable cases stay silent so existing callers don't see
new noise on stderr).
Adds a `purge YAML_FILE` verb on so-yaml that deletes the file from
disk and removes the matching pillar_entry rows. For minion files it
also drops the so_pillar.minion row, which CASCADEs to pillar_entry +
role_member. Designed for so-minion's delete path (replaces rm -f) so
the audit log captures the deletion.
setup/so-functions::generate_passwords + secrets_pillar generate
secrets:pillar_master_pass and /opt/so/conf/postgres/so_pillar.key on
fresh installs, and append the password to existing secrets.sls files
on upgrade.
- salt/manager/tools/sbin/so_yaml_postgres.py: locate(), write_yaml(),
purge_yaml(), and a small CLI for diagnostics. Skips bootstrap and
mine-driven paths via the same allowlist used by so-pillar-import.
- salt/manager/tools/sbin/so-yaml.py: import the helper, hook
writeYaml() to mirror after every disk write, add purgeFile() and
the purge verb.
- salt/manager/tools/sbin/so-yaml_test.py: 16 new tests covering the
purge verb and the path-locator / write contract of so_yaml_postgres
without contacting Postgres. All 91 tests pass.
- setup/so-functions: generate_passwords adds PILLARMASTERPASS and
SO_PILLAR_KEY; secrets_pillar writes pillar_master_pass and the
pgcrypto master key file.
