Running salt-call locally on minion with master pillar data

I am trying to run a sls file on salt-minion locally. I use the salt-call --local state.sls <my_sls_filename> command.

But the pillar data I try to fetch is available on the salt-master.

If I remove the --local then the salt looks for the state file on the master.

Any ideas how to get master pillar data while running salt-call --local

Thanks

  • Have you had a look at the Salt Masterless Quickstart documentation?

    It seems to do what you're looking for, that is run a salt state locally without a master.

    It says that in order to run masterless your pillar data also needs to be on the local minion.

    The --local flag tells the salt-minion to look for the state tree in the local file system and not to contact a Salt Master for instructions.

    So I'm pretty sure what you're trying to do goes against the very purpose of using the --local flag
