saltywhale

SaltyWhale is my home project to set up a containerized environment to learn more about Salt and Docker in particular, but also enable myself to spin up other containerized services that I can explore.

Master

The Salt Master will contain:

  • salt-master
  • salt-minion
  • salt-ssh
  • salt-cloud (optional)
  • salt-syndic (optional)
  • docker
  • sysdig
  • graylog

I am setting up Sysdig and Graylog to monitor my infrastructure and to learn about these solutions. SysDig is a monitoring tool specializing in containers. Graylog is a logging tool.

Minion

Goals

  • Use Salt to create an Infrastructure as Code Docker environment
    • I should be able to redeploy this entire enviroment using salt

Issues

  • Database storage/backup, how to do this as IaC
