[SOLVED] Cannot have both private instance and federation enabled (lemm.ee)

After using Ansible to upgrade Lemmy following the instructions (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible) I am now getting the error

Error: LemmyError { message: Some("Cannot have both private instance and federation enabled."), inner: Cannot have both private instance and federation enabled., context: "SpanTrace" }

I am not sure how to change either private to requiring approval or public OR disable federation now. I don't see anything about it in the relevant documentation (https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/configuration.html) but I could be missing something.

The docker container keeps trying to restart and fails each time. Any help with this would be really appreciated!

EDIT: solved it by ssh'ing into the postgres docker container, running psql and UPDATE local_site SET private_instance = 'f' WHERE id = 1;

Also, I changed it back to private in the admin settings and it's fine now... really weird. Going to need to remember to do this every update I guess.
