------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
 I am currently running nightly builds at http://f4amtbsowhix7rrf.onion/. I
 think someone else from Tor Browser team should setup a new nightly build
 machine.

 To do that the ansible scripts in directory `tools/ansible` can be used:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-
 build.git/tree/tools/ansible

 You will need to:
  - if the host does not have a public IP address, you can install tor and
 setup an onion service on the http port (this part is not done in ansible)
  - add a new host in the `inventory` file
  - configure this host in your `~/.ssh/config` file if necessary (if the
 hostname added to the `inventory` file is not a real hostname), and make
 sure that you can connect to the host with `ssh root@$hostname`
  - copy the file `boklm-tbb-nightly-build.yml` to an other name
  - copy the directory `group_vars/boklm-tbb-nightly` to another group
 name, and update the configuration in `tbb-nightly-build.yml`
  - configure email on the host. This can be done in ansible with the file
 `dma.yml`. The email password (if needed) is stored encrypted in `dma-
 auth.yml` in the directory `vaulted_vars` (see
 https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/cli/ansible-vault.html), and the
 password to decrypt the vault is passed with the `--vault-password-file`
 argument in the Makefile (maybe it's also possible to store `dma-auth.yml`
 outside tor-browser-build.git without using vault). Alternatively you can
 configure email on the host without using ansible, by removing the `mta`
 role from the `*-tbb-nightly-build.yml` file.
  - in the `Makefile` add a new *-tbb-nightly-build rule
  - run "make *-tbb-nightly-build"
  - if you enabled `nightly_build_sign_build` in `tbb-nightly-build.yml`,
 connect to the host and become the `tbb-nightly` user and generate a new
 gpg key (the key is not created automatically by ansible)
