Ben Dec 6, 2012 #1 Hi, Is anybody using Salt to maintain servers? I would like to know if and how you install and upgrade ports using Salt. Is there a better alternative to Salt which supports FreeBSD even better? Thanks for sharing your experiences.

OP Ben Dec 6, 2012 Thread Starter #3 Hm, I don't like Puppet too much (Ruby) but seems they have better support for FreeBSD ports. Thanks.
