name 'altcointip'
description 'Role to set up altcointip, Reddit altcoin tip bot'

run_list(
  # Run list specifies what Chef should install
  # You can exclude coins, database, and phpmyadmin recipes if you're installing these elsewhere
  'recipe[altcointip::default]',
  'recipe[altcointip::coins]',
  'recipe[altcointip::database]',
  'recipe[altcointip::phpmyadmin]'
)

To reinstall ALTcointip bot or restart a failed installation, delete the #{node[:altcointip][:install_dir]}/altcointip (default is /opt/altcointip/altcointip) directory and run chef-client (don't forget to save a copy of config.yml if you need to preserve it).
