# 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
# 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.
