In this tutorial, we’ll explain how to install Sovereign, a set of Ansible playbooks that can be used to deploy and manage a secure and private cloud infrastructure on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
First, open the terminal on your Ubuntu server and clone the Sovereign repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/sovereign/sovereign.git
This will create a new folder called sovereign in your current directory that contains the source code for Sovereign.
Next, you need to customize the configuration for your Sovereign installation. Change into the sovereign directory:
cd sovereign
Then create a new inventory file:
cp inventory.sample inventory
By default, the inventory file will define two hosts: localhost and default.
You can customize the default configuration by editing the group_vars/all.yml file. This file contains various settings for your Sovereign installation, such as the domain name you want to use, the email address for the Let’s Encrypt certificate, and more.
Before running the playbooks in Sovereign, you need to install its dependencies. To do this, simply run the following command within the sovereign directory:
sudo ./install.sh
This will install all the necessary packages required by Sovereign.
Now, you’re ready to deploy Sovereign. To do so, run the following command:
sudo ansible-playbook -i inventory --tags="apps" site.yml
This will start the deployment process and install all the necessary components required by Sovereign, including Nginx, Git, SSH, and more.
Once the deployment is complete, you can verify that Sovereign is working correctly by visiting https://
If you see a “Congratulations!” message, then Sovereign has been successfully installed and configured on your Ubuntu server.
In this tutorial, we explained how to install Sovereign on Ubuntu Server Latest using Ansible playbooks from GitHub. By following these simple steps, you can quickly and easily deploy a secure and private cloud infrastructure with Sovereign.
