A SaltStack formula that is empty. It has dummy content to help with a quick start on a new formula and it serves as a style guide.
Table of Contents
The easiest way to use this template formula as a base for a new formula is to use GitHub's Use this template button to create a new repository. For consistency with the rest of the formula ecosystem, name your formula repository following the pattern <formula theme>-formula, where <formula theme> consists of lower-case alphabetic characters, numbers, '-' or '_'.
In the rest of this example we'll use example as the <formula theme>.
Follow these steps to complete the conversion from template-formula to example-formula.

requisite.
Linux testing is done with kitchen-salt.
- 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.
Creates the docker instance and runs the TEMPLATE main state, ready for testing.
Runs the inspec tests on the actual instance.
Removes the docker instance.
Runs all of the stages above in one go: i.e. destroy + converge + verify + destroy.
Gives you SSH access to the instance for manual testing.
