Docker With Salt Distribution

There is an experiment on building automated provision system based Docker and Saltstack. The main idea is to take clean machines with preinstalled docker, prepare it with provided salt images and make further installation based only on docker containers keeping initial machine clean (i.e. without direct instalations into host machine).

List of images

This repo provides several images that could be used for further deployment:

• salt-master - salt-master service on ubuntu 14.04
• salt-minion - salt-minion service with installed docker
• docker - docker-in-docker service on ubuntu 14.04

Running example setup

On Windows machine you should first startup virtual machine using vagrant.

vagrant up

In created machine or your host Linux machine you can startup master & minion containers:

docker-compose up -d

Test connection to minion and provision minion machine:

docker-compose exec master bash
$ salt '*' test.ping
$ salt '*' state.highstate

Development startup

To start development version (e.g. with altered docker images) you can use development overrides in docker-compose.develop.yml:

./compose-develop.sh

or you can do this manually:

docker-compose                     \
    -f docker-compose.yml          \
    -f docker-compose.develop.yml  \
    up -d --build
