I mostly deploy base64 images and have a bootstrap script that setup
salstack.
https://gist.github.com/sjorge/6f0b61d825907fb828890e0c504a2870
It works on a compute node, base64 image (not tested others) and
ubuntu/centos LX images if they are new enough.
As long as the minion is know on my salt master a few minutes after
creation I end up with the server setup how I wanted.
I have also played around with having this work masterless and that also
works with a few tweaks.
So I can just make it fetch a small tarball with states and assemble
itself from that.
Regards
Jorge

This is something I have planned, and have rough notes for, mainly
from my own setups of e.g. mail or www or SMB servers. The aim is to
consolidate them into a bunch of HOWTOs on the pkgsrc wiki, with
simple steps to take you from a base or minimal image to a working
production server.
If anyone has written up their own setups then please send them to me
and I'll collate and publish them.
Another thing worth mentioning is that there are third-party image
server such as https://datasets.at/ and it'd be great to see community
supported images that are regularly updated, especially for esoteric
use cases.
