If you just want to have a look, just clone the repository and use docker-compose:
git clone https://github.com/latenighttales/alcali.git
cd alcali
docker-compose up --scale minion=2
Once you see minions waiting to be approved by the master, you're good to go:
...
minion_1 | [ERROR ] The Salt Master has cached the public key for this node, this salt minion will wait for 10 seconds before attempting to re-authenticate
minion_1 | [INFO ] Waiting 10 seconds before retry.
...
Just connect on http://127.0.0.1:8000, login with:
username: admin
password: password
and follow the walkthrough.
Once you're done, you can install it using the salt formula.
