Failer quick install on Ubuntu 18.04

kadallah

Hello! I'm trying to quick install Funkwhale on digital ocean droplet running Ubuntu 18.04, but I'm running into an error on "install system packages" that seems to be related to ansible not using the correct version of python. However, this is my first time doing anything with ansible, and since the quick install is wrapped in a shell script, I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot/fix the issue.

Can you try to export ANSIBLE_INTERPRETER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.6 and invoke the quickinstall-script afterwards?

gcrk No luck :/

It seemed like I had multiple versions of Ansible installed, but after I ran purge and uninstalled with pip3, I still had one installed at root. But no config file for me to add the python interpreter line.

I think I'm going to try to manually do the Debian install

gcrk

kadallah Your setup is quite special and probably wont work with the quick install after all. Sorry you get into trouble! Its probably much easier to fix stuff in the manual installation, good luck with that!
