My Salt states

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

Installation

• 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 and Jinja2 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

Usage

See salt/README.rst and all the state's README files.
