I tried earlier today and I had no luck actually getting an instance running

It would help if the explanation was specific to a raspberry pi

I was following the steps on the Lemmy-ansible github page

[–] RCTreeFiddy@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And which step in this process did you get stuck, and what were the errors, if any?

You gotta give us some more info here.

Step 7. I dont have the errors now but I don't think I had ansible or ssh set up correctly

I dont really understand it as this is the first thing I am trying to selfhost other than a minecraft server.

SSH may be installed on the pi but may need to be enabled. That was the second to last bullet point in the requirements. The final on being to install Ansible. If you did not get the requirements taken care of, installation will not be successful.

Please first try to SSH into your pi. Once you have that done, you should install Ansible. After that, you should be able to run the playbook from step 7 and we can proceed from there.

Do I do that from my normal pc? I've never used ssh before

Also in the comment this one is replying to, I meant to say set up correctly

[–] themachine@lemmy.world -4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And what exactly happens?

[–] arudesalad@sh.itjust.works -3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I've replied to a different comment in this thread about what happened already

I don't see anything like that in this thread. If you want people's help, help them help you and provide sufficient information about your problem.
