Overview

Derek Slager's salted dotfiles repository. Configuration is managed via SaltStack, and is intended to work on OS X, Windows and Linux.

Requirements

SaltStack version 2014.7.0 or newer must be installed. On Mac OS X, you will need at least version 2014.7.1. This release is not stable as of this writing, but you can run from Homebrew HEAD in the interim:

$ brew install saltstack --HEAD

You do not need to run salt-master or salt-minion, this runs entirely standalone.

Installation

Clone the repository locally under your $HOME directory.

$ cd; git clone https://github.com/derekslager/dotfiles

Once cloned, run the following command. Edit srv/salt/top.sls to select which customizations are applied. To configure states other than emacs, you will need to create pillar files. These are not currently available in the repository.

$ ./state.sh

OS X

If you want the maintenance script to work on Catalina (10.15) and presumably above, you'll need to add /usr/sbin/cron into Full Disk Access under Security & Privacy > Privacy.

Modern versions of OS X may also complain about a missing libcrypto library. If so, just manually edit rsax931.py (location in stack trace) with the correct path.
