Clarifying the Ansible Instructions - 2 Questions (lemmy.ml)

A couple questions about the lemmy-ansible instructions:

Step 1 - “Clone this repo: /lemmy-ansible.git”

QUESTION 1 - Clone it to my local machine, correct? (not directly onto the VPS)

ANSWER: - Yes, clone lemmy-ansible to local.

Step 2 - “Edit the config file”

QUESTION 2 - By default, config.hjson has values like hostname: "{{ domain }}" - and - password: "{{ postgres_password }}".

  • Are those “{{values}}” automatically pulled from the hosts file?

  • or just directly edit them in the config.hjson file?

ANSWER: - Edit them directly in the config.hjson file.

Thank you for your patience.

I want to do it right / understand.

UPDATE: Installed Lemmy on VPS via SSH

Question 1 - yes, ansible is run on your local machine.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I have ansible on local.

And running ‘git lemmy-ansible’ on local.
