I have tried the docker, ansible, and scratch methods. I have been troubleshooting for a month now. I have gotten nowhere. I need someone to help walk me through how to deploy a lemmy server because the guides are absolute trash.

Please help. I’m wasting money running this VPS and for literally nothing.

Edit: So, I’ve tried the ansible method, but I can’t access my server this way. It just keeps saying “UNREACHABLE”. I have generated a dozen keys, none of them work. I have NO PROBLEMS with ssh in Putty. I can use Putty all day. Putty works fine using my ssh key. Ansible does not. No amount of new keys has made any difference. I have countless keys in my stupid droplet because of this hacky garbage.

    How do I figure out which parts of a guide should be followed and which ones shouldn’t? If ignoring a part makes the guide work better then it’s a bad guide and you should find a better one.ツ

    I haven’t gotten it to work yet so I disagree. If you systemctl start nginx, can you access localhost:80? If so, success, you’ve run nginx. Very simple.
