Readme

This readme describes the installation of required docker images for the SaltStack introduction at Warpnet.

Docker compose

Before, it was required to manually build images (you still can), but we've since migrated to docker-compose.

Building and starting

To get everything up and running, you can simply run the following:

docker-compose up --no-deps --build

Accepting the minions

When the build and start finish, you'll need to log in to the master and accept the two minions:

docker exec -it docker-saltstack_saltmaster_1 /bin/bash
salt-key -A 

You'll get something like the following:

The following keys are going to be accepted:
Unaccepted Keys:
minion01
minion02
Proceed? [n/Y] y
Key for minion minion01 accepted.
Key for minion minion02 accepted.

Testing the connection

Check if salt can ping the machines:

salt \* test.ping
minion01:
    True
minion02:
    True

Now you're all ready to get started!
