New Production

Create your live Soviez ERP environment on a prepared Ubuntu server.

sudo soviez.sh --new

Optional flags:

sudo soviez.sh --new [--domain erp.example.com] [--activation automatic|manual]

If your terminal disconnects during install, resume the same operation:

soviez.sh --reattach <operation-id>

What happens during install

Soviez walks you through a connected workflow:

1. Checks server compatibility (Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04, or 26.04 amd64)
2. Verifies your Soviez license
3. Selects an approved ERP release
4. Downloads the required runtime (short-lived access — no permanent registry login on your server)
5. Creates the database and ERP environment
6. Configures your domain and HTTPS reverse proxy
7. Applies security and runtime settings
8. Activates the installation (automatic or manual, per your choice)

Some steps take several minutes depending on network speed, image download, and server resources. If a step cannot complete safely, Soviez stops and reports the problem — it does not leave ERP half-configured without a recovery path.

Before you start

• Host prepared with sudo soviez.sh --init (recommended)
• DNS for your Production hostname (for example erp.example.com) pointing to the server
• Valid Soviez license for Production
• Outbound HTTPS for license authorization and image download

You do not need a GitHub account or Docker Hub credentials.

What install does not do

• Does not expose application ports publicly — ERP is served on HTTPS port 443 only
• Does not grant the application database role superuser or host root access
• Does not require continuous Soviez connectivity after activation for day-to-day ERP use
• Does not install Webmin or Virtualmin

After success

1. Open https://erp.example.com (your domain)
2. Sign in with the credentials printed by the installer
3. Confirm health: soviez.sh --list and soviez.sh --doctor
