General customization strategies
Because systemd config files aren't easy to recreate in jinja based on multiple keys and different needs, I'm using TOFS.
Template Override and Files Switch (TOFS) pattern as described in the documentation file TOFS_pattern.md.
Note
See the full Salt Formulas doc.

Testing
Linux testing is done with kitchen-salt.
Requirements
- Ruby
- Docker
$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install
$ bin/kitchen test [platform]Where [platform] is the platform name defined in kitchen.yml,
e.g. debian-9-2019-2-py3.
bin/kitchen converge
Creates the docker instance and runs the systemd main state, ready for testing.
bin/kitchen verify
Runs the inspec tests on the actual instance.
bin/kitchen destroy
Removes the docker instance.
bin/kitchen test
Runs all of the stages above in one go: i.e. destroy + converge + verify + destroy.
bin/kitchen login
Gives you SSH access to the instance for manual testing.
