I find the mediagoblin installation/deployment really tedious (and I believe the documentation could be better), so I started automating the deployment of mediagoblin using saltstack ​http://www.saltstack.com/community/ (python based in case you're wondering).

Here is the work in progress : ​https://gist.github.com/arthurlutz/ab7e9b3486f690a17a89 (and you'll need templated supervisor.conf and nginx.conf which I can upload if anyone is interested).

Is this of interest to anyone here ? Should I make this more usable ? Contribute it to the project ? Make it into a salt formula ​http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/development/conventions/formulas.html ?

One way of running paste and the celery worker is to use supervisord, it would be nice to include and example in the code or the doc
