Salt States

This repository contains some salt states I use and experiment with.

They are geared toward my own needs and I am not really documenting this stuff. You're of course free to ask about stuff, file an issue or even submit a pull request.

Hints on using those states

I use this repository straight on my Salt Master, as you can see in the salt_master_conf.

I keep any data I consider too delicate out of this repository by putting this stuff into Salt's Pillar. If you want to use a state doing this, you'll have to adjust your Pillar's configuration.

You can find an minimal working example in the Travis configuration: The .travis directory contains some dummy pillar data (as well as an alternative top file and minion configuration) that is copied over to www.travis-ci.org as specified in .travis.yml

Some words of caution

• Always look at all Salt States your using thoroughly and do not trust them blindly.
• Not all of these states would be considered best practices. For example, the myuser state sets an initial password for my personal user, serving as poor alternative to a proper LDAP setup on my minions.
