Wrapping a Salt Module

I use saltstack to manage deployment of docker containers in my homelab. For two of my cloud servers, I am running them in memory constrained environments for cost reasons, and typically only run the minimum required there. Since I wanted to wrap the docker_container module, I started by creating my own state in _states/docker_customized. I can do a simple naive version, just by using setdefault # _states/docker_customized.py def running(name, **kwargs): kwargs.setdefault("mem_limit", "1024M") kwargs.setdefault("oom_score_adj", 100) return __states__["docker_container.running"](name, **kwargs) If I then do a find replace on s/docker_container.running/docker_customized.running/g, then when I use state.apply on a target, it will call my method, update the values I want, before calling the original with the updated parameters (I may also need to update any watch or requires entires as needed). I can then take this further, and do more specific logic, like basing the limit on the server…
