Creating cronjobs with saltstack from a file

So I'm trying to import multiple cronjobs with a salt formula. The idea is to have a file for every server in the formula itself and import all cronjobs on state apply.

I checked the documentation, but all I could find was the salt.states.cron.file, which only works with a hosted file. In my case a template file in the formula itself should be used.

Is it even possible to implement multiple cronjobs from a file?

Solution

  • Provides file.managed-like functionality (templating, etc.)

    For example:

    crontab:
  cron.file:
    - name: salt://{{ tpldir }}/files/crontab
