I’m not sure how to update properly to the new version without breaking my instance. I tried following the directions in the instructions but I’m not sure if I have to have my original ansible files when I first set up the instance or not. Can someone give me a simple step by step?

    You will need your original ansible files, however you should be able to find the important config ones in /srv/lemmy/ on your server. What you are supposed to do is pull the latest ansible files from GitHub then run the ansible install script. If you are unsure where to place the files you recovered from /srv/lemmy/ you can just look back through the installation instructions.

      Thanks for explaining this to me. I didn’t want to start doing things and end up breaking something.

      Edit: It worked but not without some issues. Apparently I needed to copy postgres password to the passwords file that gets created because it won’t use the one in the config file. Thank you once again, if this platform had awards I’d give one.
