salt
Yes, Salt can Salt itself!
Note
See the full Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions.
Available states
salt.minion
Install a minion
salt.master
Install a master.
salt.syndic
Install a syndic.
salt.cloud
Install salt cloud.
salt.ssh
Install salt-ssh with roster file. Configure pillar data under salt:ssh_roster to feed the template.
salt.standalone
Install a minion and configure it in standalone mode.
salt.pkgrepo
Enable the official saltstack package repository in order to always benefit from the latest version. This state currently only works on Debian and Ubuntu, and aims to implement the installation recommendations of the official documentation.
salt.pkgrepo.absent
Undo the effects of salt.pkgrepo
.
salt.formulas
Clone selected Salt
formulas Git repositories under /srv/formulas
and makes
them available in the relevant file_roots
settings. Pillar
data can be used to customize all paths, URLs, etc.
Here's a minimal pillar sample installing two formulas in the base environment.
salt_formulas:
list:
base:
- salt-formula
- openssh-formula
See pillar.example for an exhaustive list of settings available via pillar. Note that by default this state:
- downloads the latest formulas from the saltstack-formulas project on GitHub.
- does not update the local repositories after the initial clone. This is a safety measure since you do not control how the official repositories evolve.
If you configure the state to download the formulas from repositories
that you control, then you can safely enable the
salt_formulas:git_opts:default:update
pillar setting to
True
.
Configuration
Every option available in the templates can be set in pillar.
Settings under 'salt' will be overridden by more specific settings under
salt['master']
, salt['minion']
or
salt['cloud']
salt:
ret_port: 4506
master:
user: saltuser
...
minion:
user: saltuser
...
cloud:
providers: ec2
...
Extending
Additional templates can be added by the user under salt/files/minion.d and master.d. This might be useful if, for example, a recently-added configuration option is not yet provided by the default template.
Vagrant
Executing the provided Vagrantfile will create a Ubuntu 14.04 VM, add the default Saltstack Repository and install the current stable version.
The folders inside the VM will be set up in a way that enables you to simply execute 'sudo salt "*" state.highstate' to apply the salt formula to the VM, using the pillar.example config. You can check /etc/salt/ for results.
Remember, you will have to run state.highstate
or
state.sls salt.(master|minion|cloud)
manually.
