The instructions for Lemmy-Ansible say to install Ansible on my local machine, not on my destination server. My destination server is running ubuntu, but my local machine is windows, so Ansible won’t work on it. Do I need two Linux machines in order to use the Ansible installation?

    Ansible is just a tool to do the operations. You will need Python also, and a terminal, basic stuff to do the commands. Do not worry. There is a way to run Ansible without installing via docker, but you still need to install docker to run the commands.

    Ansible works on Windows, but you need to install Python, then pip install ansible https://pypi.org/project/ansible .

    Looks like you need more skills to be able to install it, anyway if you want to learn to do it, the way to do it on your windows is via Python, create a virtual environment and install there the Ansible.

      I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!
