It is the successor to the SIFT CLI but made in such a way that it is no longer specific to SIFT. The goal is to deliver a simple command line utility to install custom distributions that are build with saltstack. Installation Visit the releases page to download the appropriate file for your architecture. There are .deb files for installation with dpkg -i , there are just vanilla binaries that you can download and put into /usr/local/bin if you'd like to as well. Usage Existing Aliases Cast comes with two built in aliases for existing support distributions, additional aliases will not be added, it's a short term solution until the older install methods have fallen off. Note: there are only two aliases currently supported, sift and remnux which are resolved to teamdfir/sift-saltstack and remnux/salt-states respectively. Telemetry As of 1.0.0, this tool uses go-checkpoint which is a fork of Hashicorps checkpoint library. This allows the tool to notify of new versions, security alerts and we can track metrics of which versions of the tool are in use. You can disable with export CHECKPOINT DISABLE=1 . What is a Cast Distribution? Simply put a cast distro is one published by the cast binary. The underlying technology used for installing the distro is Saltstack. To create a Cast distribution you need a .cast.yml file and need your repository to be a valid SaltStack configuratio","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/ekristen","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/ekristen/cast/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
