See the :doc:`Proxy Minion Walkthrough </topics/proxyminion/demo>` for an end-to-end
demonstration of a working proxy minion.
New in 2015.8.2
---------------
*BREAKING CHANGE*: Adding the `proxymodule` variable to __opts__ is deprecated.
The `proxymodule` variable has been moved a new globally-injected variable
called `__proxy__`. A related configuration option called
`add_proxymodule_to_opts` has been added and defaults to `True`. In the next
major release, codenamed Boron, this variable will default to False.
In the meantime, proxies that functioned under 2015.8.0 and .1 should continue
to work under 2015.8.2. You should rework your proxy code to use `__proxy__` as
soon as possible.
The `rest_sample` example proxy minion has been updated to use `__proxy__`.
This change was made because proxymodules are a LazyLoader object, but
LazyLoaders cannot be serialized. `__opts__` gets serialized, and so things
like `saltutil.sync_all` and `state.highstate` would throw exceptions.
Also in this release, proxymodules can be stored on the master in
/srv/salt/_proxy. A new saltutil function called `sync_proxies` will transfer
these to remote proxy minions. Note that you must restart the salt-proxy
daemon to pick up these changes.
In addition, a salt.utils helper function called `is_proxy()` was added to make
it easier to tell when the running minion is a proxy minion.
