Scripts to quickly spin up a couple Vagrant VMs, a Salt master and a minion

Vagrant Salt Starter

These scripts will quickly allow you to setup a simple Salt Master and Minion using Vagrant. To get started simply:

$ git clone https://github.com/chadlung/vagrant-salt-starter.git
$ cd vagrant-salt-starter
$ vagrant up

Note: Be aware you are running the Salt Bootstrap script from the Internet, make sure you examine and trust the source before running.

The saltmaster will have IP 192.168.37.10 and minion01 will have IP 192.168.37.11

Once the VMs are both ready you can run the following commands to verify:

minion01

$ vagrant ssh minion01

Inside the minion01 VM run:

$ sudo cat /var/log/salt/minion
$ sudo tail /var/log/salt/minion

You should see output like this:

Logout of minion01 and log into the saltmaster:

saltmaster

$ vagrant ssh saltmaster

Inside the saltmaster VM run:

$ sudo salt-key -L

You should see output like this:

Accepted Keys:
Unaccepted Keys:
minion01
Rejected Keys:

Accept the minion01 key:

$ sudo salt-key -y -a minion01

The output will be:

The following keys are going to be accepted:
Unaccepted Keys:
minion01
Key for minion minion01 accepted.

Your now good to go!

saltmaster

$ sudo salt minion01 test.ping

The output will be:
