Some notes:

i still need to copy this stuff into lemmy.yml
this only works with an ssh agent (or without a password for your ssh key), otherwise you will get dozens of ssh key prompts
port selection has a race condition because it runs in parallel
we probably need to put the inventory and vars/ into a seperate, private git repo if we both want to run the ansible playbooks
you cant just put the same host at the beginning of each inventory line, they need to be different or it will only run once (and they also need to be in ~/.ssh/known_hosts)

I am running with the following in my inventory:

root@test.lemmy.ml  domain=test.lemmy.ml  letsencrypt_contact_email=xxx
root@test2.lemmy.ml  domain=test2.lemmy.ml  letsencrypt_contact_email=xxx
root@test3.lemmy.ml  domain=test3.lemmy.ml  letsencrypt_contact_email=xxx

You can give this a try, but first you will probably have to shut down all the existing instances as you dont have the same variables in vars/ (just run the uninstall.yml playbook for that).

We should also add inventory_sample and inventory_dev_sample, just so that's obvious to see in there.
