Prerequisites

• A Fedora Server instance
• A non-root user with sudo privileges
• Ansible installed on the server
• Git installed on the server
• A domain name pointed to the server's IP address

Step 1: Update the Server

Before installing Sovereign, make sure your system is up-to-date. Run the following command to update the Fedora Server:

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Install the required dependencies for Sovereign. Issue the following command:

Step 4: Configure Sovereign

Before installing Sovereign, you need to configure it by editing the inventory.ini file. Enter the following command to copy the example inventory file:

cp inventory.example.ini inventory.ini

Edit the newly created inventory.ini file using your favorite text editor. Replace the example values with your own information. At a minimum, you will need to configure the domain_name and email variables.

nano inventory.ini

[sovereign]
localhost ansible_connection=local

[sovereign:vars]
stage=inventories/example/group_vars
# domain you're provisioning for
domain_name=example.com
# email account associated with the provisioned domain_name
email=admin@example.com
sogo_hg_branch=SOGo-4.0.8-1
unattended_upgrades_distrelease=codename-goes-here
# Whether to enable SSH
ssh_enable=true
# Whether to disallow password-based SSH access
ssh_key_only=true
# Optional SSH public key to use for authentication
ssh_public_key=""

Save and close the inventory.ini file once done.

Step 5: Install Sovereign

Once you have configured the inventory.ini file, you can now proceed with installing Sovereign. Change directory to the cloned Sovereign GitHub repository using the following command:

cd sovereign

Then, issue the following command to start the installation process:

ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini site.yml

Wait for the installation to finish successfully.

Step 6: Verify the Sovereign Installation

Once the installation is complete, you should be able to see the Sovereign services running on your server. To verify the installation, navigate to your domain name in your web browser. For example, http://example.com.

You should be able to log in to your new email account by going to:
