What do you mean "install the script on your server"? If you follow the Ansible install instructions, you should have a fully working Lemmy instance on your server (assuming it finishes without errors).

I am now almost done. I have directly installed it on my ubuntu server so i need to add my password i guess.
fatal: [root@h2835324]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: root@h2835324: Permission denied (publickey,password).", "unreachable": true}
which line do i have to add in inventory to add the password?
Assuming your error output comes from running Ansible :
In the line [email protected] domain=example.com [email protected] lemmy_base_dir=/srv/lemmy you should change [email protected] into your-username-for-ssh@your-ssh-hostname and then when you run Ansible it will ask for your ssh password (or for your ssh key passphrase).
I have this problem too in trying to set up a new instance. Could you point me to something to help me understand how I can get a ssh connection working? The resources I've found so far (such as this ) don't resolve it for me.
Still trying to get around this and struggling. The setup (ansible-playbook lemmy.yml --become) has a fatal error due to not being able to connect. Any further suggestions? I think I have the wrong x@x input, but I don't know what I should be putting in there - at the moment using the server login and ip address?
Maybe the problem is this:
Are trying to install Lemmy (executing Ansible) from the server where Lemmy will been working?
