Need help setting up an instance on VPS (lemmy.ml)

Hello, I am having trouble using ansible to setup an instance of lemmy. I'm not too sure if the ansible stuff needs to be run on local pc rather than VPS? I assume its on VPS. I am following the documentation over at https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/install_ansible.html

I am getting the following error when running ansible-playbook lemmy.yml --become

fatal: []: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: root@: Permission denied (publickey,password).", "unreachable": true}

Am I suppose to ssh into my the remote machine from the remote machine? I'm a little confused as there doesn't seem to be anywhere for me to put the private ssh key or a password.
