TEMPLATE-formula
1. General notes
See the full SaltStack Formulas installation and usage instructions.
If you are interested in writing or contributing to formulas, please pay attention to the Writing Formula Section.
If you want to use this formula, please pay attention to the FORMULA
file and/or git tag
, which contains the currently released version.
This formula is versioned according to Semantic
Versioning.
See Formula Versioning Section for more details.
If you need (non-default) configuration, please refer to:

2. Contributing to this repo
2.1. Commit messages
Commit message formatting is significant!!
Please see How to contribute for more details.
2.2. pre-commit
pre-commit is configured for this formula,
which you may optionally use to ease the steps involved in submitting
your changes. First install the pre-commit
package manager using the
appropriate method, then run
bin/install-hooks
and now pre-commit
will run automatically on each
git commit
. :
$ bin/install-hooks pre-commit installed at .git/hooks/pre-commit pre-commit installed at .git/hooks/commit-msg
3. Special notes
3.1. Using this template
The easiest way to use this template formula as a base for a new formula
is to use GitHub’s Use this template button to create a new
repository. For consistency with the rest of the formula ecosystem, name
your formula repository following the pattern <formula theme>-formula
,
where <formula theme>
consists of lower-case alphabetic characters,
numbers, '-' or '_'.
In the rest of this example we’ll use example
as the
<formula theme>
.
Follow these steps to complete the conversion from template-formula
to
example-formula
. :
$ git clone git@github.com:YOUR-USERNAME/example-formula.git $ cd example-formula/ $ bin/convert-formula.sh example $ git push --force
Alternatively, it’s possible to clone template-formula
into a new
repository and perform the conversion there. For example:
$ git clone https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/template-formula example-formula $ cd example-formula/ $ bin/convert-formula.sh example
To take advantage of semantic-release for automated changelog generation and release tagging, you will need a GitHub Personal Access Token with at least the public_repo scope.
In the Travis repository settings for your new repository, create an
environment
variable named GH_TOKEN
with the personal access token as value,
restricted to the master
branch for security.
Note that this repository uses a
CODEOWNERS
file to assign ownership to various parts of the formula. The conversion
process removes overall ownership, but you should consider assigning
ownership to yourself or your organisation when contributing your new
formula to the saltstack-formulas
organisation.
4. Available states
4.1. TEMPLATE
Meta-state (This is a state that includes other states).
This installs the TEMPLATE package, manages the TEMPLATE configuration file and then starts the associated TEMPLATE service.
4.3. TEMPLATE.config
This state will configure the TEMPLATE service and has a dependency on
TEMPLATE.install
via include list.
4.4. TEMPLATE.service
This state will start the TEMPLATE service and has a dependency on
TEMPLATE.config
via include list.
4.5. TEMPLATE.clean
Meta-state (This is a state that includes other states).
this state will undo everything performed in the TEMPLATE
meta-state
in reverse order, i.e. stops the service, removes the configuration file
and then uninstalls the package.
4.7. TEMPLATE.config.clean
This state will remove the configuration of the TEMPLATE service and has
a dependency on TEMPLATE.service.clean
via include list.
4.8. TEMPLATE.package.clean
This state will remove the TEMPLATE package and has a depency on
TEMPLATE.config.clean
via include list.
4.9. TEMPLATE.subcomponent
Meta-state (This is a state that includes other states).
This state installs a subcomponent configuration file before configuring and starting the TEMPLATE service.
5. Testing
Linux testing is done with kitchen-salt
.
5.1. Requirements
-
Ruby
-
Docker
$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install
$ bin/kitchen test [platform]
Where [platform]
is the platform name defined in kitchen.yml
, e.g.
debian-9-2019-2-py3
.
5.2. bin/kitchen converge
Creates the docker instance and runs the TEMPLATE
main state, ready
for testing.
