How to host a Lemmy instance. I spent an hour this morning going through a training course on Ansible, now it’s giving me different errors haha. It has something to do with SSHing into my VPS. I can SSH in no problem, but Ansible apparently isn’t using my default SSH key?
¯\(ツ)/¯ More searching and more tinkering and it’ll work eventually!
If I understand correctly, droplet is just DigitalOcean’s marketing term for VPS, so you probably already understand the basics of SSH, simple Linux commands, and running a VPS. You’ll want to be familiar with the basics of Docker, and if you choose to use Ansible for installing you’ll need to be comfortable with that too.
If you come across any issues during setup you can ask the community for help.
It’s really not difficult, but there’s more to it than sudo apt install Lemmy.

How technical is it so far ? Would love to try also. Kinda done some coding and droplet creation. But not much linux experience.
The official documentation for installing with Ansible is very simple, but not very detailed.

sudo apt install Lemmy.You’re correct. VPS on digital ocean.
You’ve really motivated me that i can do it ! I’m at basics amof linux commands and ssh. But could be fun learning the docker basics and ansible
