modifying files with salt

[lik...@gmx.de]

Hi!

I'm trying to modify the /etc/fuse.conf

by using this sls file:

-----------------------------------
modify-config-files:
file.replace:
- path: /etc/fuse.conf
- pattern: "# mount_max = 1000"
- repl: "mount_max = 1000"
- append_if_not_found: True
# - dry_run: True
------------------------------------

Result is:
Execute a packaged state run, the packaged state run will exist in a
tarball available locally. This packaged state
can be generated using salt-ssh.

CLI Example:

.. code-block:: bash

salt '*' state.pkg /tmp/salt_state.tgz 760a9353810e36f6d81416366fc426dc md5


The file /etc/fuse.conf is not changed afterwards.
Google couldn't help me to resolve that problem. Any hints here from saltstack pros?

I'd probably use file.uncomment in this case.

For file.replace try rewriting your file:

/etc/fuse.conf:
file.replace:
- pattern: ^#.*mount_max.*

- repl: "mount_max = 1000"
- append_if_not_found: True

That should work.

Hello.

I've copied what you have done here and it works.

I want to add the version number to my template so that it is called 'template-web-31' instead of 'template-web'. I can do this and create the template but it won't update the template. The update worked before I added the version number to the template name.

Not absolutely clear, but you're either not targeting in top file or in
qubesctl --targets call
