Gentlepeople,
I'm finally biting the bullet and setting out to salt my Qubes.
1) DARN is it complicated in comparison to Ansible - not least because
of the ... interesting ... obsession with the physical characteristics
of salty minerals (grain, pillar, ...) - just call it what if
functionally is, for chrissakes ... <end_of_desperation/>
2) I'm unclear about whether the fedora-/debian-X-minimal template VMs
require additional packages to be managed through salt.
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/minimal/ appears to indicate so:
Also, there are packages to provide additional services:
...
qubes-mgmt-\*: If you want to use salt management on the template and
qubes.
If that's indeed the case, it's actually not possible to manage minimal
template installation/customization entirely through salt, which I
consider suboptimal.
3) I so far have managed to setup `*.sls` files for updating all
templates as well as dom0 (THANKS unman for the example repo posted a
while ago). Now I'm trying to get a defined package installed in a
minimal template and fail:
flatpak.sls:
install_flatpak:
pkg.installed:
- pkgs:
- flatpak
*.top:
base:
^(.*)-flatpak$:
- match: pcre
- flatpak
when applying this to --all, everything appears to run fine, but at the
end, the present fedora-30-minimal-flatpak template does NOT have
flatpak installed ...
Where am I erring?
Thank you for any insight you may be able to give.
Sincerely, Joh
