Remember to create your own database and push it to Ansible and Salt, is super easy, follow the guide at How to use section.

All of this software is Open Source, which means that is free and community maintained.

There are a couple of security configuration settings from Ansible and Salt that are not recommended to use, but for learning purposes I let them open.

For Ansible:

File $HOME/.ansible.cfg

host_key_checking = False

File $HOME/.ansible.cfg

host_key_auto_add = True

For Salt:

File /etc/salt/master and /etc/salt/minion

open_mode: True

auto_accept: True

When you restart Salt, give a couple of minutes to synchronise, it will look like not working… wait… and if you want you can check the logs of the daemons with:

sudo tail -f /var/log/salt/*
