Comment on Could someone explain how to set up a lemmy instance with ansible for an absolute beginner
arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 9 months agoStep 7. I dont have the errors now but I don’t think I had ansible or ssh set up
I dont really understand it as this is the first thing I am trying to selfhost other than a minecraft server.

SSH may be installed on the pi but may need to be enabled. That was the second to last bullet pint in the requirements. The final on being to install Ansible. If you did not get the requirements taken care of, installation will not be successful.
Please first try to SSH into your pi. Once you have that done, you should install Ansible. After that, you should be able to run the playbook from step 7 and we can proceed from there.

Do I do that from my normal pc? I’ve never used ssh before

I’m not trying to be mean, but I think you might be trying to jump straight into the deep end before learning to swim. While the commands have been included in the guide in order for you to be able to install this, it really does help to understand what those commands do, and what they mean. I suggest first getting to know your pi a little bit better, learning how to get SSH going on that and then moving on to installing Ansible. There’s information on the raspberry pie website on how to get SSH enabled on your pi.

Alright, thanks for trying to help. Will I need ssh on my main pc to get it to work on my pi?
