Molten is a WebUI for the REST API exposed by Salt.
Molten aims to make the API features accessible and to provide an easily deployable alternative to the salt cli interface.
No additional service besides salt-api is required.
To get a quick impression have a look at the screenshots.
- Fast. No page reloads, molten is a SPA (single page app) and keeps state during navigation.
- Full access to all salt clients supported via Rest API.
- Live updates, e.g. for events, jobs, ...
- Job history and rescheduling of jobs
- Simple deployment: no additional Python / Node.js or Go application required.
Make sure that vagrant is installed.
Check out this repository init git submodules and start virtual machine via vagrant:

git submodule update
vagrant up demo

Molten should in principle be compatible with all salt versions that include the netapi.
- Function documentation is working if master and client versions are at least 2015.8.0
- Serving molten from a different location without proxy requires salt master version to be at least 2015.8.1
