I gave up, at least for now. I finally managed to get ansible working and everything added to path, and the first half of the ansible deploy script thingo worked fine, but then when it tried to start docker compose it kept screaming about a bad API chunk. In trying to fix it, I seem to have made the problem worse 🫤 I’ll probably go back to it eventually, I never do leave things alone when they don’t work
Edit: on further reflection I decided to google and it seems that Docker doesn’t support Ubuntu Server 24.04, and the lemmy-ansible page specifically states they only support 22.04. I thought that I had chosen 22 and not 24, but now I’m thinking that it’s probable that I actually clicked 24.04 🙄 Classic PEBKAC. That’d also explain why literally nobody else seems to have gotten this error before. On the plus side, because I just sort of assumed if it didn’t work it would be because I screwed it up, I didn’t open an issue or ask for help. So at least my ego hasn’t been deflated
