# Heimdall
## Description
*Heimdall* is a matrix bot supposed to control and manage services and containers by simple text commands.
It is a convenience tool for the own self-hosting empire.
## Setup the bot credentials
1. Create or get access to a **matrix account** to use as the bot.
2. Acquire the **access token** and **user id**. You can do this in riot by going into the settings and scrolling down to the very end.
3. Copy *config.sample.yaml* and name the copy *config.yaml*.
4. Replace the placeholder values with your own:
* Replace the *baseurl* value with the base url of your home server (e.g. *https://example.org*).
* Replace the *access token* with your own.
* Replace the *user id* with your own.
