I'm giving it a go at the moment. Have you looked at the ansible playbook available at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible ?
I did. I could never get ansible to work when I was setting up the same machine. If you know how to set the inventory file up for that, I'm all ears.
I'm just going through it now. I'll keep you posted
I'm currently hitting an issue of lets encrypt failing to authenticate using the .well-known. The domain in the hosts file is lemmy.domain.com though I have a feeling this may have to be the FQDN. the base domain is currently being used by matrix to serve antoher .well-known so it looks like I'll have to add another page there somewhere.
yes, the domain in the hosts file needs to be the fqdn. Let's encrypt will look for the auth file at the root of that. if you are already using this fqdn/webroot you'll need another cname.
