Ansible and Salt don't seem to fit the use case of configuring something that is effectively a chroot, and I don't know if Chef can be used with chroot-like installations, but you must have used Puppet in a wrong way if it caused you trouble (my guess is that you used Puppet with master, not a CFEngine-like masterless mode).

Actually I translated all the configuration that would be done through RUN commands in a Dockerfile, into Ansible roles and playbooks that are applied at build time.
