Vacuum bags and 2% salt by weight are the easiest way to get it done, for sure. It doesn't get much simpler. I've had pepper ferments that got a little carried away and tightly filled the bag with CO2. There's a lot of ways to deal with this problem, but I just poke a tiny hole in the bag, let the bug farts out, and cover the hole with a strip of clear tape. (A lazier method is to plan better and use a bigger bag to begin with. And for those who aren't familiar, vacuum bags can be huge: They're available as continuous uncut rolls.)
