Salt for newbies

Hi all,

I’d like to use salt to manage my qubes, however I feel the documentation is lacking in this area.
Perhaps someone can share how to achieve following:

  • clone templateVM
  • install packages in templateVM
  • clone github repository
  • run a command in qube (eg. make rpm)
  • copy file from one qube to another (without prompt)
  • copy file from qube to dom0
  • copy file from dom0 to qube
  • remove file (cleanup)
  • create qube based on X template
  • remove qube (cleanup)
  • run arbitrary command in dom0
  • run arbitrary command in template/app vm

Also, how to make steps sequential (eg. create VM, run command in it, copy file from it, remove that VM).

Kind regards,

I can help!
