7 years ago @gzcwnk It's definitely possible to run the Salt master inside a Docker container, we provide Docker images but they're used for automated testing. Here is a fairly simple Dockerfile for running a Salt Master inside a container using supervisord to control it:
#
# Salt Stack Salt Master Container
#
FROM ubuntu:16.04
RUN apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y && apt-get install -y curl
RUN curl https://repo.saltstack.com/apt/ubuntu/14.04/amd64/latest/SALTSTACK-GPG-KEY.pub | apt-key add -
RUN echo "deb http://repo.saltstack.com/apt/ubuntu/16.04/amd64/latest xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salt.list
RUN apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y && apt-get install -y salt-master salt-syndic salt-minion salt-cloud supervisor python-pip
# Need 0.20.1 for GCE to work
RUN pip install apache-libcloud==0.20.1
COPY supervisord.conf /etc/supervisor/conf.d/supervisord.conf
# Run Command
CMD ["/usr/bin/supervisord"][supervisord]
nodaemon=true
[program:salt-master]
command=/usr/bin/salt-master
[program:salt-syndic]
command=/usr/bin/salt-syndic
[program:salt-minion]
command=/usr/bin/salt-minionIt's using Ubuntu but can easily be adapter to run another distribution.

Description of Issue/Question
Is this possible? advisable?
Our Salt-master setup is broken on RHEL6 due to a python in-compatibility issue. The way I see to fix this is move the salt-master to another server and I have a Debian 8/9 server available. In order to stop usch dependancy hells happening again is there an existing Salt master container anywhere I can simply use?
I have looked on Docker's site but I cant see anything that I can obviously use.
