Custom¶

Overview¶

Custom is a Saltbox module that allows you to install additional software packages (APT, DEB, and pip modules) that are not included in the default Saltbox installation, giving you the flexibility to add tools and dependencies specific to your needs.

Configuration¶

Before running the custom tag, configure the packages you want to install in your Saltbox inventory:

APT packages:

custom_apt:
  - package_name_1
  - package_name_2

DEB packages (direct URLs):

custom_deb:
  - https://example.com/package.deb

pip modules (Ubuntu 22.04 and earlier only):

custom_pip:
  - module_name

Deployment¶
