 `--- ---'        for a workstation.

This state root configuration allows to maintain workstations details like the eid in Chromium installation automatically.

Structure

States are organized in roles and units. A role is an intent like "a workstation". An unit is a set of states to deploy something like "eid".

Directories follow the roles/<role name>/<unit name> structure.

Roles

• core: units for every machine, workstation or not
• workstation: a dev/ssh/browser machine used as a workstation

Setup a new machine

For a master, or masterless installation:

1. Include it in the pillar data if needed (e.g. declare a laptop)
2. Symlink your local copy of this repository to /srv/salt
3. Sync the custom modules (_modules/ folder): salt-call --local saltutil.sync_all

Servers

Wynter salt states aren't intended for servers but for workstations.
