Lemmy-Docker-Ansible-Deploy

This provides an easy way to install Lemmy on any server.

Requirements

To run this playbook, you need to:

• Have a server / VPS where lemmy will run.
• Configure a DNS A Record to point at your server's IP address.
• Make sure you can ssh to it: ssh my_user@domain.tld
• Install Ansible on your local machine.

Deploy steps

Run the following commands:

# Clone lemmy-docker-ansible-deploy
git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-docker-ansible-deploy.git
cd lemmy-docker-ansible-deploy

# Make a directory to hold your config
mkdir inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>

# Copy the sample configuration file 
cp examples/config.hjson inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/config.hjson
# Edit that file to change a few passwords, and change the config to your liking

# Copy the sample inventory hosts file 
cp examples/hosts inventory/hosts
# Edit the inventory hosts file (inventory/hosts) to your liking

# Run the playbook
ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts lemmy.yml --become

# If the command above fails, you may need to comment out this line
# In the ansible.cfg file:
# interpreter_python=/usr/bin/python3
