I accidentally deleted everything in /etc/salt with “sudo rm -r *” How can i restore everything there? Sadly dom0 backups only include /home directory
Where can i download default /etc/salt files?

You should try to reinstall all salt-related packages and see if you can recover from that:

sudo qubes-dom0-update --action=reinstall $(rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}\n" | grep salt | tr '\n' ' ')

Reinstalling package qubes-mgmt-salt-config may help.

Best reply would be to say “recover from backups” but I guess you have no backups? I always either install etckeeper that keeps track of all /etc in git, or do it manually by adding everything in /etc/ in a git repository

How can i reset all salt configuration and get default one? I feel like by deleting everything /etc/salt i broke something in other configuration files that may be located somewhere else

did you try the command above to reinstall the package qubes-mgmt-salt-config? This may be enough to fix the problem.

yeah, it fixed the problem completely. But, resetting salt to default completely may prevent unexpected problems in the future

Can you share the output of this command? This will allow to check if some files were changed on my computer compared to yours.

$ sudo find /etc/salt/ -type f -exec sha256sum {} +

I don’t know if results are useful at all, probably not, since i installed ben’s gradle salt scripts and that probably changed some things or all things in the folder
find /etc/salt:

The checksum list matches exactly the one I shared earlier, except the extra qusal.conf file, so I think your salt install is correctly restored.
