Sovereign is a self-hosted solution for running your own personal cloud with easily manageable and customizable services. It is available on Github and is compatible with various Linux distributions, including EndeavourOS. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install Sovereign on EndeavourOS latest.
Before starting, you should have the following:
Update and upgrade the package repository on your system by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Install git by running the command:
sudo pacman -S git
Clone the sovereign repository from Github by running the command:
git clone https://github.com/sovereign/sovereign.git && cd sovereign
Run the setup script provided in the Sovereign repository directory:
sudo ./setup.sh
This script will install all the required dependencies, setup the configuration files and install all the individual services.
Once the installation process is over, open the config.yml file and customize the settings to fit your needs. The configuration file location is:
/home/<your-username>/sovereign/sovereign/config.yml
After configuring the settings, you can start the individual services, by running:
sovereign up <service-name>
Replace <service-name> with the name of the service that you want to start. For example, to start the Mail service, run:
sovereign up mail
If you want to stop any of the services, simply run:
sovereign down <service-name>
Replace <service-name> with the name of the service that you want to stop.
Once all services are up and running, you can access them through the respective URLs. For example, the mail service can be accessed by navigating to https://mail.yourdomain.com.
That's it! You have successfully installed the Sovereign personal cloud solution on EndeavourOS latest version. You can now have full control over your personal cloud services without having to depend on third-party providers.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
