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

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