nmcspadden/sal-profiles repository overview

⁠Sal-Profiles

This is a Docker container for Sal⁠ based on the official Sal Docker image⁠ that just adds SalProfileGenerator⁠ for easy .mobileconfig profile generation for all Machine Groups.

The main difference with the Sal-profiles container is the existence of a new environmental variable, PROFILE_PATH. This variable specifies a custom path to place the created profile files. If it doesn't exist, this path will be created on script execution. The default path is /home/docker/profiles/ inside the container.

⁠To Use This Container:

Follow the instructions for running Sal according to the official Docker instructions⁠.

Start your Postgres container:

	$ mkdir -p /usr/local/sal_data/db  
	$ docker run -d --name="postgres-sal" \  
 	 -v /db:/var/lib/postgresql/data \  
  	-e DB_NAME=sal \  
  	-e DB_USER=saldbadmin \  
  	-e DB_PASS=password \  
  	--restart="always" \  
  	grahamgilbert/postgres  

Run the Sal-profiles container, pass in the PROFILE_PATH environmental variable:

	run -d --name sal \
	-p 80:8000 \  
	--link postgres-sal:db \  
	-e DOCKER_SAL_TZ="America/Los_Angeles" \  
	-e ADMIN_PASS=password \  
	-e DB_NAME=sal \  
	-e DB_USER=saldbadmin \  
	-e DB_PASS=password \  
	-e PROFILE_PATH=/home/docker/profiles \  
	nmcspadden/sal-profiles  

Access Sal via your browser: http://localhost:80⁠

Create a Business Unit.

Create a Machine Group. (or create several for testing!)

Run the script to generate profiles for all Machine Group keys:
docker exec sal /usr/local/salprofilegenerator/generate_all_profiles.sh
Profiles will be placed into the $PROFILE_PATH.

Copy the profiles out from the Docker container onto your host, for deployment to client machines:
docker cp sal:/home/docker/profiles /path/on/docker/host/sal-profiles
