Forgive my ignorance. I need a kickstart on what to do first. I just spun up Fedora 25 on an ESXi 6 host and not sure how to get started with the saltstack stuff.
If you don't want salt and just want to use Nextcloud on Fedora 25, I am verifying my guide for it.
Thanks. I will have to check it out when you're done

I don't have a srv/salt directory on my master or minion. Do I create one and do the files go on the master or the minion?

Yup. Just create it.

Files go on the master. The master pushed them to the minion in the right location.

OK. I finally got my salt master setup and the minion keys accepted and could properly do a salt test ping. I created the 3 files (nextcloud.sls, ssl.conf, redis.conf) in the srv/salt directory with the contents copied from the OP. I verified the files were in there and ran the salt 'minionname' state.apply nextcloud command from the srv/salt directory on the master.
Now I am getting the following error -
minionname:
Data failed to compile:No matching sls found for 'nextcloud' in env 'base'
ERROR: Minions returned with non-zero exit codeI don't know where to begin on this one. I tried a Google search and it seemed a little over my head at this point.
Any suggestions?

The directory is /srv/salt not srv/salt. That would do it. But that might just be a typo here on the community, too.

Good catch! I had no idea that was two different things.

Think of the leading / as being like C:\on Windows. If you say /srv/salt you are telling the system exactly where the files are to go. / is known as "root" and is the base of the filesystem. If you drop the leading / then you are giving the command to go to a place in the filesystem relative to your current location rather than in absolute terms. In that way, same as Windows.

@scottalanmiller Thanks for the basic explanation. I really need to revisit your Linux for noobs series

@wrx7m Did you create 2 VMs (for master & minion)?
-
@FATeknollogee Yes. I created a dedicated CentOS 7 VM for the master and created a VM with Fedora 25 for the nextcloud minion.
Now, if I could find the default login info.

Man, I need to revisit this.
My first 2 tries failed woefully, I could not get the minion to "talk" with the master.
I will try again tonight. -

Did you change the names of the VM or use the default?
-
@FATeknollogee I used Salt for the master and a custom one for my minion.

It's in the Salt state file.

Ha! I did a ctrl F on this page and it didn't work for some reason. Got in but now I get a big white box with a message that says This content failed to load.

Rebooting made it worse (page timed out) so I reran the salt state. This time it completed in half the time as the original and now I was able to login and get the interface. I wonder what happened the first time. I also wonder if a reboot will cause a problem again.

Should not, but maybe something is missing in the state file to make things perm.

I rebooted and the site still works but now I can't get in via SSH. I think you said that the state file will disable it or close the ports. I have to look into it. Strange that it was working after the first time I applied the state file.
