Salty Whales

A salty whale is a happy whale. You do want your whales to be happy, don't you?

Gimme the rundown like motown

• Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/trevorj/salty-whales
• CircleCI: https://circleci.com/gh/akatrevorjay/salty-whales
• A whale named Salt: http://www.whaleswithnames.com/salt/

Why?

• Automated builds through CircleCI, pushed to Docker hub.
• Every pair of OS Codename + Salt Release is available.
  • Hub: https://github.com/akatrevorjay/salty-whales
• Easily add more via a simple variable. No really.
• Originally named docker-ubuntu-salt-minion. (boo)
• No longer named docker-ubuntu-salt-minion as I chose to include the rest of Salt as it was tiny in comparison. (woo)

How?

• There are some helpers included; it's insanely easy, check out bin/sls after dropping salt and pillar folders in your $PWD.
• All helpers are included in your PATH, as you'd expect from a sane container.
• Mount them in as volumes on, say the standard /srv/pillar and /srv/salt.
• Utilize pytest-testinfra, or salt-layers, go wild! Beyond your wildest fantasies! Wowzers!

Troubleshooting

Q: My whales are far too salty, they seem uncomfortable

A: Nonsense! A salty whale is a happy whale. It says that right in the README.
