A starting point for salt master/minion configs, formulas, recipes, etc

based on : https://docs.saltstack.com/en/develop/topics/development/hacking.html

- run the latest upstream version of salt in a python virtualenv
- use default variables and paths for config files, enabling portability
- use separate locations for salt source, python code, logs, keys, cache and runtime config
- maintain configs in source control without binaries or keys in the tree
- deploy a complete runtime config (this repo) in a container

( please review these files and edit before running/deploying )

• includes all relevant config files for setting up master+minion
• starts services with localhost as minion of itself
• includes minimal test states and web interface
• modular configuration of virtualenv location and package dependencies
• container workflow scripts

checkout this repo & change/enter directory

(as root)

./setup

• will stop any running services before proceeding
• adds local user 'saltrunner' to access halite UI
• adds hooks to ~/.bash_profile to source the custom environment
• debug logging on by default

(as root)

./bin/start-services

• starts services in foreground windows if Xserver is detected
• otherwise starts services in background

./MASTER/CLEAN.sh

• run this as needed to clear out keys, logs and cache

(as user in docker group)

./build-docker

• creates 'salt-develop' container from contents of current directory

./run-docker-service

• starts a 'salt-develop' container with logging to foreground of current window

./run-docker-interactive

• login to a running 'salt-develop' container or create one for manual installation

• setup scripts invoked by INSTALL.sh

MASTER/rootfs * overlay filesystem
