For static internal pages, very little will compete with Wordpress.
Oh yeah I forgot about WP.. but all this stuff would need to be local and not online at all. ... I'm looking it up now and it looks like we can just download WordPress and use to generate local content.. awesome. This may do perfectly..
ooh looks like I'm going to get to set up a Linux server with LAMP... fun

Commonly Wiki's are used for this as well. Depending on which you prefer - easy management or good looking pages.
If it's for the everyman in the company - good looking pages will trump almost anything else.

WP is a simple little free PHP app that you run on your own server. Plenty of guides for it here on ML.

That's the best way, yes.

Awesome. I don't get to touch Linux too much at work, so this will be a fun project. Thanks!

Fedora, everything you need is included.

Someone post a link to my WP guides. There’s no reason to add the complexity of learning salt on top of setting this up when he already stated he does not have hardly the band with to do anything
-
On a related note I probably need to make a new guide because it’s been a few years

You can use the salt files as a guide to do it manually

I can yes. But somebody who doesn’t know what they’re looking at probably not

Yes thank you
Switch this to fedora the only thing that I think needs to change is the Yum commands need to become Dnf

No need to learn Salt, just use it. that's part of the beauty of it.

Never. It is a tool that you need to know how to use before you “just use it “.

Thanks again for the awesome help guys!

That's actually one of the things that is great about it, you don't. You can use it as a one time setup tool, like a simpler form of using an install script that someone writes. It's not something you need to know before using. You can think of it as a scripting host in that sense.

Are you referring to it's ability to be used in a masterless environment? I read a little about that part today.

Yes, you can just use it to apply a config that you give it and nothing more. No infrastructure needed. Means most of the benefits get lost, but allows you to use it to set up systems from a state file you find online without needing to know anything about Salt itself.
-
We should have a salt states file tag, strictly for salt states files. I'll populate it as I make them. I see you have a few on here that could be added.
