I have tried the docker, ansible, and scratch methods. I have been troubleshooting for a month now. I have gotten nowhere. I need someone to help walk me through how to deploy a lemmy server because the guides are absolute trash.

Please help. I'm wasting money running this VPS and for literally nothing.

Edit: So, I've tried the ansible method, but I can't access my server this way. It just keeps saying "UNREACHABLE". I have generated a dozen keys, none of them work. I have NO PROBLEMS with ssh in Putty. I can use Putty all day. Putty works fine using my ssh key. Ansible does not. No amount of new keys has made any difference. I have countless keys in my stupid droplet because of this hacky garbage.

It doesn’t tell you to actually run nginx

That may be so, but the link that they give references a digital ocean guide that DOES (it's literally step 2). So, am I just ignoring that part? How do I figure out which parts of a guide should be followed and which ones shouldn't?

running nginx isn’t complex enough to warrant a guide

I haven't gotten it to work yet so I disagree.
