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.

`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.
