A Docker image which allows you to run a containerised Salt-Master server.
You can easily run the container like so:
docker run --rm -it soon/salt-master
The following environment variables can be set:
LOG_LEVEL: The level to log at, defaults toerror
There are several volumes which can be mounted to Docker data container as described here: https://docs.docker.com/userguide/dockervolumes/. The following volumes can be mounted:
/etc/salt/pki- This holds the Salt Minion authentication keys/var/cache/salt- Job and Minion data cache/var/logs/salt- Salts log directory/etc/salt/master.d- Master configuration include directory/srv/salt- Holds your states, pillars etc
To create a data container you are going to want the thinnest possible docker image, simply run this docker command, which will download the simplest possible docker image:
docker run -v /etc/salt/pki -v /var/salt/cache -v /var/logs/salt -v /etc/salt/master.d -v /srv/salt --name salt-master-data busybox true
This will create a stopped container with the name of salt-master-data and
will hold our persistant salt master data. Now we just need to run our master
container with the --volumes-from command:
docker run --rm -it --volumes-from salt-master-data soon/salt-master
To share folders on your local system so you can have your own master
configuration, states, pillars etc just alter the salt-master-data
command:
docker run -v /etc/salt/pki -v /var/salt/cache -v /var/logs/salt -v /path/to/local:/etc/salt/master.d -v /path/to/local:/srv/salt --name salt-master-data busybox true
Now /path/to/local can hold your states and master configuration.
The following ports are exposed:
45054506
These ports allow minions to communicate with the Salt Master.
You can run commands on the salt-master via the docker exec command.
For one off commands, you can use:
docker exec salt-master-data salt "*" test.ping
or for an interactive shell use:
docker exec -it salt-master-data sh
