Salt Master

Docker image for a Salt Master.

Run

You have to expose the ports so minions can communicate with the master.

docker run \
  -d \
  --name=salt-master \
  -p 4505:4505 \
  -p 4506:4506 \
  mckaynz/salt-master

Use

This will drop you into a shell in the salt master, so you can use the salt command to manage machines:

docker exec -it salt-master bash

Volumes

The following volumes are defined:

• /etc/salt/master.d - Contains master configuration
• /etc/salt/pki - Private keys of the master and managed machines
• /srv/salt - Your salt states
• /var/cache/salt
• /var/logs/salt

Log level

To change the log level, pass a different command:

docker run --options... mckaynz/salt-master --log-level=debug

The default is error.
