VagrantMultipleMachineWorkspace.md

Description

Have you ever wanted to have a Vagrant workspace with more than one Virtual Machine, and managed by Salt Stack? I did, but the documentation is not all there yet.

I managed to make it work with the following, hope it will be useful.

To use

See the Complete salty-vagrant setup, but use the current Vagrantfile to have two machines.

Files in the workspace

Set the following files in your workspace, at the root of your web development project.

• projectDir/Vagrantfile: The Vagrantfile from this gist
• projectDir/salt/key: A few pem and pub files
• projectDir/salt/roots: Checkout a few salt states as needed
• projectDir/master: Salt master config, generally default do
• projectDir/minion: Salt minion config, if master is called salt, no need to edit.
