I would like to add some generic pillar data to minions based on roles, but also offer a way to customize each machine based on hostname (minion id).

In my pillar/top.sls file I have

base:
  '*':
    - pkgs/common-ubuntu-pkg
    - fail2ban/config
  'runit:True':
    - runit/package
  'is_virtual:True':
    - users/vmuser
  'role:database':
    - match: grain
    - mysql/defaults

And then I want to add something like this:

{% for host in pillar %}
  '{{host}}':
    include:
     - {{host}}/passwords
{% endfor %}

Which works, but it only prints out 'master'. I'm using master-less salt-ssh, so I believe that's why the minions in the roster are not already in the pillar. I would like a different way to loop over defined minions, but I can't seem to easily get a view of what is in the salt dictionary.

{% for key in salt %}
  '{{key}}':
     include:
       - foobar
{% endfor %}

Trying to debug using something like the above results in a KeyError
