Hello! I’m currently in the process of seting up an instance (for personal use, testing some stuff). I ran into this issue and while I did find some threads about it, they were not conected to Lemmy and I don’t have any ideas how to solve it myself. For context -> i’m trying to set up the instance on a remote device, conected thru ssh to my wsl ubuntu instalation. I’m using ansible, if that helps. The remote device is using ubuntu server 20.4. LTS. Thank you for help.

What version of ansible are you using, and what version does that playbook need? 20.04 is rather old at this point, and won’t have current packages.

Might be more helpful to actually say in the title that it is Lemmy you’re trying to selfhost, this community isn’t specific to selfhosting Lemmy.

Did you look at lemmy.yml, line 208 like the error message says?

At first glance, i would say you need to add Jakob as a sudo user first :

And then install ansible-playbook,
