I agree with @ben  
Given that I had most of this typed, I’ll still send it along…

If you’re saying you’ve run `server.yml` and `deploy.yml` then you point your web browser at your IP and get an empty response, I speculate that it is because your Nginx isn’t configured to process requests to the IP name, only the domain name. Here are the [`site_hosts`](https://github.com/roots/trellis/blob/4a972f2351532338ce6803107904eb62732f558d/group_vars/production/wordpress_sites.yml#L4-L5) for which your server will process requests. By default, this doesn’t include the IP.

Ultimately, you’ll want to connect using a fqdn once you have DNS set up. If that is not yet set up, I’d recommend making an entry in your local machine’s `/etc/hosts`  
`146.185.132.84 mydomain.com`  
then point your browser at `mydomain.com` instead of the IP.

Maybe it would work to add the IP to the `site_hosts` list (but I vaguely remember that may have other issues with css/js relative paths not resolving).
