I’m trying to stand up a Lemmy instance, and for some reason I’m just not getting it. I’ve got a fair bit of experience in Linux and Docker. NPM is new to me, but doesn’t seem difficult.

I’ve looked over several walkthroughs but it seems like they all don’t quite work right. Does someone have a clear step-by-step that works, or could take the time to remote in and help me get this up?

I’m running on VMWare ESXi, and I’ve tried both Debian and Ubuntu to get the server up. Closest I got, the Docker containers would start but seem to be throwing errors internally and don’t connect to one another.

    So, I’m having what I assume is a very basic issue. Going through the ansible install steps, I’ve created an /etc/ansible/hosts with

    [servers] server1 ansible_host=localhost

    [all:vars] ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3

    My understanding is this should work, but ansible all -m ping is failing.
