Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade saltminion -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade saltminion -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

- name: Install saltminion
  win_chocolatey:
    name: saltminion
    version: '3007.2.0'
    source: INTERNAL REPO URL
    state: present

See docs at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win_chocolatey_module.html.


chocolatey_package 'saltminion' do
  action    :install
  source   'INTERNAL REPO URL'
  version  '3007.2.0'
end

See docs at https://docs.chef.io/resource_chocolatey_package.html.


cChocoPackageInstaller saltminion
{
    Name     = "saltminion"
    Version  = "3007.2.0"
    Source   = "INTERNAL REPO URL"
}

Requires cChoco DSC Resource. See docs at https://github.com/chocolatey/cChoco.


package { 'saltminion':
  ensure   => '3007.2.0',
  provider => 'chocolatey',
  source   => 'INTERNAL REPO URL',
}

Requires Puppet Chocolatey Provider module. See docs at https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/chocolatey.

Package Approved

This package was approved as a trusted package on 15 May 2025.

Description

What is SaltStack ?

SaltStack is a revolutionary approach to infrastructure management that replaces complexity with speed.
SaltStack is simple enough to get running in minutes, scalable enough to manage tens of thousands of servers, and fast enough to communicate with each system in seconds.

The Salt-Minion

The Salt-Minion receives commands from the central Salt-Master and replies with the results of said commands.
The Salt-Minion needs the Salt-Master to run correctly.

Package Parameters

The following package parameters can be set:

  • /Python2 - No longer supported by SaltStack. Will be removed in future version of the package.
  • /Master:[master] - A string value to set the IP address or hostname of the Salt-Master. original installer value: /master=
  • /MinionName:[minion-name] - A string value to set the Salt-Minion name. original installer value: /minion-name=
  • /MinionStart:[minion-start] - 1 to start the service, else 0. original installer value: /start-minion=
  • /MinionStartDelayed - Present to have delay start. original installer value: /start-minion-delayed
  • /DefaultConfig - Present to overwrite the existing config file with the default. original installer value: /default-config
  • /CustomConfig:[config-path] - Full path to a custom config file. original installer value: /custom-config=

For more details on original installer values : https://docs.saltproject.io/salt/install-guide/en/latest/topics/install-by-operating-system/windows.html#windows-nullsoft-exe-install-options

To pass parameters, use --params "''" (e.g. choco install saltminion [other options] --params="'/Master:myMaster /Python2'").
To have choco remember parameters on upgrade, be sure to set choco feature enable -n=useRememberedArgumentsForUpgrades.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
