Steps that I've taken (following

this guide)

• Set up a DigitalOcean droplet with Debian 11, ssh key linked to my machine,

  $12 plan (2GB Ram)

• SSH in to check it has Python 3 installed (it does)

• Install Ansible on my machine

  • pip3 install ansible --user

  • this installs ansible on my machine but doesn't add it to the path, so cli

    commands starting with ansible-playbook etc don't work

  • following

    a post on here

    I added export PATH="/Users/shantanu/Library/Python/3.9/bin:$PATH" to

    ~/.zshrc then ran source ~/.zshrc which fixed it

• Git clone the Ansible playbook from the repo

• configure the playbook

  • enable ma1sd

  • enable Mautrix Signal bridge

  • enable shared secret (this makes double puppetting possible)

  • enable

    Appservice Discord

    bridge

• run the playbook install script

  • didn't work at first, i think due to issue with Apple Silicon - had to

    pip install passlib which fixed it

• run the playbook run script

• register a user
