Problem while trying to setup an instance (lemmy.world)

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.

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.

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

And then install ansible-playbook,

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

If you're not familiar with Ansible, I recommend to install your Lemmy instance using docker compose or Lemmy Easy Deploy.

If you still want to use Ansible, make sure to use version >= 2.11.0 . From the screenshot, chance that you might accidentally installed v2.10
