Project MOTD

A motd file is a great way to make an announcement to the project's users. The motd content is interpreted as markdown text letting you format your text and embed images and links.

Graphical Interface

Figure: Project motd
Figure: Project motd

CLI Usage

Update the motd with some text.

rd projects motd put -p MyProject -t "This is the **motd** for MyProject"

You might want to set the project home page to show the motd.

rd projects configure set -p MyProject -- \
   --project.gui.motd.display=projectHome

API Usage

Project motd/motd modification

PUT /api/13/project/myproject/motd.md
Content-Type: text/plain

This is the **motd** for MyProject

Filesystem

If using the filesystem storage type only, you can create the file in the project base directory:

  • launcher: $RDECK_BASE/projects/{project}/motd.md
  • rpm/deb: /var/rundeck/projects/{project}/motd.md

If using the db storage type, use the GUI, the CLI or API.
