Configuring Gopherbot

NOTE: This chapter has not been updated for Gopherbot version 2, but has reference material that may be of use when examining default and standard configuration.

Gopherbot has very powerful and flexible configuration capabilities based on yaml templates. The core concept is simple; Gopherbot ships with default configuration in the conf/ directory of the installation archive, and individual robots can modify and override the default configuration with environment variables and custom configuration files. This chapter examines the configuration system in detail.
