Features

• Support for dot-configurations
• Support for provisining minions
• Support for testing states via vagrant

Structure

Originally based off https://github.com/python/pypi-salt.

salt/roots/ is for anything that would be in file_roots or pillar_roots.

• ./salt/roots/pillar - pillar data
• ./salt/roots/dot-configs - dot-config sls states
• ./salt/roots/salt - package sls states

Setup

Clone the data recursively (include submodules):

git clone https://github.com/tony/salt-states-configs.git /srv/salt/salt-states-tony

Add the necessary file_roots and pillar_roots to your project.

/etc/salt/master:

pillar_roots:
    base:
        - /srv/salt/salt-states-tony/salt/roots/pillar

file_roots:
    base:
        - /srv/salt/salt-states-tony/salt/roots/salt

Note: to see an updated, full list of formulas / roots see the minions/master example file.

Restart the salt master.

$ [sudo] /etc/init.d/salt-master restart
