# Ansible Installation
This is the same as the [Docker installation](administration_install_docker.md), except that Ansible handles all of it automatically. It also does some extra things like setting up TLS and email for your Lemmy instance.
First, you need to [install Ansible on your local computer](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html) (e.g. using `sudo apt install ansible`) or the equivalent for you platform.
Then run the following commands on your local computer:

nano inventory # enter your server, domain, contact email
ansible-playbook lemmy.yml --become
```
To update to a new version, just run the following in your local Lemmy repo:
```bash
git pull origin master
cd ansible
ansible-playbook lemmy.yml --become
```

# Docker Installation
Make sure you have both docker and docker-compose(>=`1.24.0`) installed:
Make sure you have both docker and docker-compose(>=`1.24.0`) installed. On Ubuntu, just run `apt install docker-compose docker.io`. Next,
```bash
mkdir lemmy/
cd lemmy/
# create a folder for the lemmy files. the location doesnt matter, you can put this anywhere you want
mkdir /lemmy
cd /lemmy
# download default config files
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/lemmy.hjson
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/iframely.config.local.js
# Edit lemmy.hjson, and docker-compose.yml to do more configuration (like adding a custom password)
docker-compose up -d
```
and go to http://localhost:8536.
After this, have a look at the [config file](administration_configuration.md) named `lemmy.hjson`, and adjust it, in particular the hostname.
[A sample nginx config](/ansible/templates/nginx.conf) (Note: Avatar / Image uploading won't work without this), could be setup with:
To make Lemmy available outside the server, you need to setup a reverse proxy, like Nginx. [A sample nginx config](/ansible/templates/nginx.conf), could be setup with:
```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/ansible/templates/nginx.conf
# Replace the {{ vars }}
sudo mv nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf
```
You will also need to setup TLS, for example with [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/). After this you need to restart Nginx to reload the config.
## Updating
To update to the newest version, run:
To update to the newest version, you can manually change the version in `docker-compose.yml`. Alternatively, fetch the latest version from our git repo:
```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/docker-compose.yml
