What’s on and around line 32 in the config?
{% if lemmy_env_vars is defined and lemmy_env_vars|length > 0 %}
I did the ansible install, other than mail setup, the instructions were easy to follow.
you're not the first suggesting this. Some guides I've found online suggest to use the Ansible files "because they're less broken".
At this point I'm wondering if the documentation is bad "on purpose" to prevent too many script kiddies to install their own instance.
Nope, the documentation suggests 3 ways for installation: from scratch, docker and ansible.
I tried both from scratch and docker and I'm stuck. Eventually I'll try the ansible way, but first I have to learn ansible...
I'm far from not disappointed.
