chrome-browser-formula

A SaltStack formula designed to install and configure Google's Chrome Browser.

It is primarily expected that this formula will be run via P3's "watchmaker" framework.

This formula is able to install the Chrome browser on both Linux¹ and Windows Server² operating environments:

• On Linux hosts, it will install using the distro's native package-manager¹
• On Windows hosts, it will install using the installer-EXE³

Available states

• chrome-browser
• chrome-browser.clean
• chrome-browser.package
• chrome-browser.package.clean
• chrome-browser.config
• chrome-browser.config.clean

chrome-browser

Executes the package and config states to install and configure the Chrome Browser

chrome-browser.clean

Executes the package and config states' clean actions to fully uninstall the Chrome Browser and remove previously-installed browser policy-configs (and, on Windows, associated registry entries)

chrome-browser.package

Executes just the package state to install the Chrome Browser package.

chrome-browser.package.clean

Executes just the package.clean state to uninstall the Chrome Browser package.

chrome-browser.config

Executes just the config state to install/configure the Chrome policy files

chrome-browser.config.clean

Executes just the config state to uninstall the Chrome policy files and, on Windows, remove any registry-keys set by prior install-runs of the formula.
