Jason,

We don't have a host earmarked as the master.  For now can we pick "havoc"?
Is it relatively easy to change later on?

Johannes,

We have a list of machines in the Jenkins cluster here:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Jenkins/MachineList
We don't have a designated saltstack master, but for now I would say we can
use "havoc".

In terms of the saltstack Jenkins formula, I don't know if it makes since
to use it or not.

Right now, the main Jenkins host ( jenkins.freebsd.org ) has Jenkins via:
   -> pkg install jenkins
           -> some entries in rc.conf like jenkins_enable="YES"

 jenkins.freebsd.org is also running an nginx server configured with a
reverse proxy:

Take a look at https://gist.github.com/rodrigc/b5d70a26f748a2a5d33b
carefully and look at those requirements.
