No not really. You first enable it on the raspberry pie. Then you access your raspberry pie from your normal computer by running this command in your command line or shell: ssh user@1.2.3.4 where ‘user’ is your raspberry pi user (pi by default), and ‘1.2.3.4’ is the up address of the pi.
Comment on Could someone explain how to set up a lemmy instance with ansible for an absolute beginner
arudesalad@sh.itjust.works 9 months agoAlright, thanks for trying to help. Will I need ssh on my main pc to get it to work on my pi?

Bold of u to assumw they are using linux as there main pc os. If they are using windows i beleive it doesnt come with an ssh client.
PeachMan@lemmy.world 9 months ago
You can SSH using command line. I do have a Windows Pro license, but I THINK that it’s not exclusive to Pro…

Yeah, legit, I’ve messed around with this kind of thing before, and I wouldn’t attempt to run lemmy myself. Major pain in the ass.

It should already be there if it’s a Win or Linux, you just need to enable SSH on the pi, then you can remote into it by running this from a command line / shell:
ssh pi@1.2.3.4
Where ‘pi’ is your user on your pi, and ‘1.2.3.4’ is the IP address or hostname for the pi.
Just want to add too that installing and hosting something like Lemmy is not really a beginner task. I’m not trying to discourage, quite the opposite. You should just know this will be a challenging endeavor, but will be rewarding once you do complete it, and you will learn a lot in the process.
