Salt-master docker container.

To create the image bbinet/salt-master, execute the following command in the docker-salt-master folder:

docker build -t bbinet/salt-master .

You can now push the new image to the public registry:

docker push bbinet/salt-master

Then, when starting your salt-master container, you will want to bind ports 4505, 4506, 443 (salt-api) and 4430 (Halite) from the salt-master container to a host external port.

The salt-master container will read its configuration from the /config directory volume, so you should bind this config volume to a host directory or data container. The salt-master will load existing settings for the salt configuration and pki stuff from this /config volume.

By default, the container will try to run the /config/before-exec.sh script, then the salt-api, then the salt-master, so you can provide additional provisioning stuff through this script.

You may also configure the salt-master fileserver to be located in another /data volume.

For example:

$ docker pull bbinet/salt-master

$ docker run --name salt-master \
    -v /home/salt-master/config:/config \
    -v /home/salt-master/data:/data \
    -p 4505:4505 \
    -p 4506:4506 \
    -p 443:443 \
    -p 4430:4430 \
    bbinet/salt-master
