     8  # Salt Masterless Provisioner
     9  
    10  Type: `salt-masterless`
    11  
    12  The `salt-masterless` Packer provisioner provisions machines built by Packer using
    13  [Salt](http://saltstack.com/) states, without connecting to a Salt master.
    14  
    15  ## Basic Example
    16  
    17  The example below is fully functional.
    18  
    19  ```javascript
    20  {
    21    "type": "salt-masterless",
    22    "local_state_tree": "/Users/me/salt"
    23  }
    24  ```
    25  
    26  ## Configuration Reference
    27  
    28  The reference of available configuration options is listed below. The only required argument is the path to your local salt state tree.
    29  
    30  Optional:
    31  
    32  * `bootstrap_args` (string) - Arguments to send to the bootstrap script. Usage
    33    is somewhat documented on [github](https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap),
    34    but the [script itself](https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap/blob/develop/bootstrap-salt.sh)
    35    has more detailed usage instructions. By default, no arguments are sent to
    36    the script.
    37  
    38  * `local_pillar_roots` (string) - The path to your local
    39    [pillar roots](http://docs.saltstack.com/ref/configuration/master.html#pillar-configuration).
    40    This will be uploaded to the `/srv/pillar` on the remote.
    41  
    42  * `local_state_tree` (string) - The path to your local
    43    [state tree](http://docs.saltstack.com/ref/states/highstate.html#the-salt-state-tree).
    44    This will be uploaded to the `/srv/salt` on the remote.
    45  
    46  * `minion_config` (string) - The path to your local
    47    [minion config](http://docs.saltstack.com/topics/configuration.html).
    48    This will be uploaded to the `/etc/salt` on the remote.
    49  
    50  * `skip_bootstrap` (boolean) - By default the salt provisioner runs
    51    [salt bootstrap](https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap) to install
    52    salt. Set this to true to skip this step.
    53  
    54  * `temp_config_dir` (string) - Where your local state tree will be copied
    55    before moving to the `/srv/salt` directory. Default is `/tmp/salt`.
