I'm new to saltstack and so I'm starting out serverless until I have things basically working. But to get things basically working, I want to use formulas, which means I should specify gitfs_remotes, but that only works (it appears) on the master.
So I clone https://github.com/my-organisation/openssh-formula.git and move openssh-formula/openssh to /srv/salt/openssh/.
Now in top.sls I say
base:
'*':
- system # sshd, git, system
and in system/init.sls, I say (among other things)
open_sshd_server:
openssh
That fails:
[T] ubuntu@ubuntu-xenial:vagrant $ sudo salt-call --local state.highstate
local:
Data failed to compile:
----------
ID open_sshd_server in SLS system is not a dictionary
[T] ubuntu@ubuntu-xenial:vagrant $
What works, though, is to push the openssh install to the top level:
base:
'*':
- system # not sshd, but git, system
- openssh
But this is goofy, putting formula calls only at the top level is horrible and unscalable organisation.
Can anyone point me in the right thing direction?
You can use include to achieve this.
include:
- openssh
- openssh.config
