Installation

Canonical customer command

soviez.sh --help
soviez.sh --version
soviez.sh --list

After bootstrap, the launcher is typically:

/usr/local/bin/soviez.sh

Works from any directory.

Bootstrap

curl -fsSL https://soviez.sh | sudo bash

This installs Soviez.sh on PATH. It does not require a GitHub account.

What Soviez installs/configures

• Docker Engine and related tooling as required
• Nginx reverse proxy and HTTPS tooling
• Firewall baseline for public HTTP/HTTPS/SSH
• Platform files under /opt/soviez

What you still provide

• A supported Ubuntu server
• Domain DNS pointing at the server
• A valid Soviez license for Production
• Operational decisions (domain name, Stage hostnames, backup schedule)

Next steps

1. REQUIREMENTS.md
2. INITIALIZATION.md — sudo soviez.sh --init
3. NEW_PRODUCTION.md — sudo soviez.sh --new
4. DOMAIN_AND_TLS.md

Notes

• Prefer curl -fsSL (fail on HTTP errors, show errors, follow redirects)
• Always use sudo for the public bootstrap on a fresh host
• Do not paste internal admin or repair commands from support tickets into production without understanding them
