To use

1. Copy vars/secret.yml-dist to vars/secret.yml and put secret things in there. This file should never be checked in.
2. Copy vars/all.yml-dist to vars/all.yml and put site-specific configuration in there as well as override any variables you need to override. If you have no site-specific things, you can just leave it as is.
3. Create a virtual environment: mkvirtualenv richardansible
4. Install requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt

Using with Vagrant

To use the Vagrant environment, do the above and then do:

1. vagrant up

This uses Vagrant to create a vm with richard and its requirements set up.

You can connect to richard in the vagrant environment by pointing your browser to http://localhost:8000.

Helpful commands:

• vagrant up: starts the environment
• vagrant ssh: sshs into the environment as the vagrant user
• vagrant provision: run ansible on the environment to pick up any configuration management changes
• vagrant halt: halts the environment
• vagrant destroy: destroys the vm
