When setting up your own instance, make sure you use the easy auto setup script found here: https://lemmy.world/post/249889
Was able to set up my own instance in a few minutes with little knowledge of setting up servers. Great place to start imo!

Following the instructions using wsl and I get met with the following error after running the playbook:
"fatal: [[email protected]]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ssh: connect to host example.com port 22: Network is unreachable", "unreachable": true}"
Where do I enter my ssh info?
Incredibly Lost and frustrated trying to set up self hosted lemmy server
So I've been scratching my head for two days trying to get my own lemmy server up and running.
I have limited server hosting experience but I used to design html websites back in high school through wordpress and was able to successfully set up my own mastadon instance so I'm pretty decent at following instructions, but what keeps tripping me up is ansible and how the heck it works.
The instructions (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible) are telling me to install ansible on my local machine using python3. On my windows machine I installed ansible using python but when i type the ansible command into terminal it gives me no command found. Is linux required as a host machine?
I have an account over at digitalocean and I'm willing to host my own ubuntu machine over there to get my instance running but I cannot for the life of me figure out how ansible is supposed to set up a server on my windows machine. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated.... I'm tearing my hair out and feel incredibly stupid right now :D
I have an account on here too lol. Have to use this one to reply to prove this point. I cannot reply to posts on mastadon, nor can I view nested comments. This was exactly the test I needed to make my choice!
I'm looking at setting up a lemmy server to overwrite the mastadon instance so I can use the same URL. I'm looking at the guide and I'm already a bit lost. (I used a droplet on DigitalOcean to auto install mastadon). If anybody has any additional resources that could help me with my install that would be great!
