@ivy

if i hand you a root password and ip address to a brand new ubuntu 22 server will you turn it into a into a kbin server?

i can't find a good guide.

@pinkyfloyd eerrrm it's possible but not the best. you don't really want anyone else to have credentials on your server, especially since kbin is so new

I struggled with getting set up, but I had a lot of help on matrix

I had basically followed the admin guide to the letter for bare metal but it didn't produce a working server so I opened some issues and worked some things out there before being redirected to matrix where I hot all the help I wound up needing

here is the matrix thread that I got help in and eventually produced a working server
