what is this

it puts your computer in a predictable (to my taste) state
in other words, this is a collection of salt states for managing my personal computers

how to install

initial setup is easy
even though there's 20.04 in repo URL, instructions work for both 20.04 and 22.04

git clone https://github.com/tryauuum/my-salt /srv/salt/
wget -O - https://repo.saltstack.com/py3/ubuntu/20.04/amd64/latest/SALTSTACK-GPG-KEY.pub | apt-key add -
echo 'deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.saltstack.com/py3/ubuntu/20.04/amd64/latest focal main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/saltstack.list
apt update
apt-get install salt-minion --yes

then you can (periodically) run this thing when you want to apply state from this repo

salt-call state.apply --local

limitations

• to keep everything easy to install, pillar is not used. due to that, code somewhat sucks
• again, to keep everything easy to install, no node roles or categories exist. because assining roles/categories to machines complicates installation
