I tried the Ansible install back when 0.17.4 was the latest, and it kinda fucked my server. It changed lots of config files that I didn’t want changed. Oh, and the Lemmy install still failed.
This is why I never bother with any “easy install” scripts of any kind. Give me a list of Docker images, a list of environment variables / config files, and some form of reverse proxy configuration and I’ll figure out the rest. You don’t know how my server works better than I do.

I learned my lesson, I’m not doing that again.
Yeah I understand. I had an empty server to run it against and then it worked fine.
