Opensource Installation

Posted on May 1, 2024
Hey everyone! This is my first post on DEV but I wanted to know if anyone has recommendations for how to support non-technical users in installing open-source software.
Specifically, we have a python based server but we're struggling to support non-technical users installing and configuring it.
Edit [Lots of clarification]:
Target OS:
Linux generally, Ubuntu is the core of development. (would like to expand to windows eventually)
Installer:
no config interface right now, an ansible installer that installs and configures everything but a bit difficult to maintain and bound to a specific ubuntu version.
Configuration Interface:
tiered connfiguration supporting environment variables and a yaml file.
documentation:

Root:
currently requires root access but we're trying to address it
