These are the Salt states I use on my personal servers. Fully tested on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. They're useful for things such as:
- Managing Salt itself
- Running an IRC bouncer
- Running a VPN
- Running a private python package index
- Running a PostgreSQL server with continuous archiving through WAL-E, PostGIS support
- Running a relatively secured SSH server
- Running a local DNS cache
On a bare ubuntu machine, create a
$HOME/salt
folder and clone this repo in it.Create a
$HOME/salt/salt.conf
file with the following content:SALT_MASTER = <salt master IP> env.user = <your user> env.index_url = <your index url for pip>
(
env.index_url
is optional if you're fine with using the canonical python package index).Create a virtualenv and install
Fabric
andJinja2
in it:cd $HOME/salt virtualenv env --system-site-packages env/bin/pip install Fabric Jinja2
Bootstrap the master:
cd states ../env/bin/fab -H <master ip> enable_salt:master
And to create minions, set their hostnames and do:
../env/bin/fab -H <minion ip> enable_salt:minion
See salt/README.rst and all the state's README
files.
