    10  # Salt Masterless Provisioner
    11  
    12  Type: `salt-masterless`
    13  
    14  The `salt-masterless` Packer provisioner provisions machines built by Packer
    15  using [Salt](http://saltstack.com/) states, without connecting to a Salt master.
    16  
    17  ## Basic Example
    18  
    19  The example below is fully functional.
    20  
    21  ``` json
    22  {
    23    "type": "salt-masterless",
    24    "local_state_tree": "/Users/me/salt"
    25  }
    26  ```
    27  
    28  ## Configuration Reference
    29  
    30  The reference of available configuration options is listed below. The only
    31  required element is "local_state_tree".
    32  
    33  Required:
    34  
    35  -   `local_state_tree` (string) - The path to your local [state
    36      tree](http://docs.saltstack.com/ref/states/highstate.html#the-salt-state-tree).
    37      This will be uploaded to the `remote_state_tree` on the remote.
    38  
    39  Optional:
    40  
    41  -   `bootstrap_args` (string) - Arguments to send to the bootstrap script. Usage
    42      is somewhat documented on
    43      [github](https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap), but the [script
    44      itself](https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap/blob/develop/bootstrap-salt.sh)
    45      has more detailed usage instructions. By default, no arguments are sent to
    46      the script.
    47  
    48  -   `disable_sudo` (boolean) - By default, the bootstrap install command is prefixed with `sudo`. When using a
    49      Docker builder, you will likely want to pass `true` since `sudo` is often not pre-installed.
    50  
    51  -   `remote_pillar_roots` (string) - The path to your remote [pillar
    52      roots](http://docs.saltstack.com/ref/configuration/master.html#pillar-configuration).
    53      default: `/srv/pillar`. This option cannot be used with `minion_config`.
    54  
    55  -   `remote_state_tree` (string) - The path to your remote [state
    56      tree](http://docs.saltstack.com/ref/states/highstate.html#the-salt-state-tree).
    57      default: `/srv/salt`. This option cannot be used with `minion_config`.
    58  
    59  -   `local_pillar_roots` (string) - The path to your local [pillar
    60      roots](http://docs.saltstack.com/ref/configuration/master.html#pillar-configuration).
    61      This will be uploaded to the `remote_pillar_roots` on the remote.
    62  
    63  -   `custom_state` (string) - A state to be run instead of `state.highstate`.
    64      Defaults to `state.highstate` if unspecified.
    65  
    66  -   `minion_config` (string) - The path to your local [minion config
    67      file](http://docs.saltstack.com/ref/configuration/minion.html). This will be
    68      uploaded to the `/etc/salt` on the remote. This option overrides the
    69      `remote_state_tree` or `remote_pillar_roots` options.
    70  
    71  -   `grains_file` (string) - The path to your local [grains file](https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/grains). This will be
    72      uploaded to `/etc/salt/grains` on the remote.
    73  
    74  -   `skip_bootstrap` (boolean) - By default the salt provisioner runs [salt
    75      bootstrap](https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap) to install salt. Set
    76      this to true to skip this step.
    77  
    78  -   `temp_config_dir` (string) - Where your local state tree will be copied
    79      before moving to the `/srv/salt` directory. Default is `/tmp/salt`.
    80  
    81  -   `no_exit_on_failure` (boolean) - Packer will exit if the `salt-call` command
    82      fails. Set this option to true to ignore Salt failures.
    83  
    84  -   `log_level` (string) - Set the logging level for the `salt-call` run.
    85  
    86  -   `salt_call_args` (string) - Additional arguments to pass directly to `salt-call`. See
    87      [salt-call](https://docs.saltstack.com/ref/cli/salt-call.html) documentation for more
    88      information. By default no additional arguments (besides the ones Packer generates)
    89      are passed to `salt-call`.
    90  
    91  -   `salt_bin_dir` (string) - Path to the `salt-call` executable. Useful if it is not
    92      on the PATH.
    93  
    94  -   `guest_os_type` (string) - The target guest OS type, either "unix" or "windows".
