Configuration

At a minimum, modify the variables defined in the following files as necessary:

defaults/main.yml
vars/main.yml

Copy hosts.example to hosts and edit it to update the values for your Meatspace Chat host. Be sure to change the following values:

0.0.0.0
ubuntu
~/.ssh/meatspace_chat_id

Example Playbook

After configuration a basic Meatspace Chat installation and activation is possible using the included examples/site.yml playbook.

Copy examples/site.yml.example to examples/site.yml, edit it, and modify the meatspace_chat_twitter_key and meatspace_chat_twitter_secret variables, which will be passed to the role at runtime.

Alternatively, you can specify the variables with the --extra-vars option to ansible-playbook. See the Ansible documentation for more details on using variables.

ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml

NOTE: Do not commit site.yml to Github after adding Twitter credentials; the included .gitignore will ignore it by default.
