July 9, 2016

I'm a heavy user of Saltstack, on my home network i develop salt states and test new stuff and on my production servers i use the results of my development at home.


My motiviation for this:
- I have a dream of automated deployed LXD containers which you can manage with a web interface like Froxlor.- I want a database where i can easily modify contents with a script.

Prerequisites
- Knowledge of Saltstack- Knowledge of MongoDB

Salt Modules in use
