Sovereign is a collection of Ansible playbooks that provision and maintain a complete personal cloud server from open source components. It deploys email (Dovecot, Postfix, Rspamd, Roundcube), calendar/contacts and file sync via ownCloud, XMPP chat, an OpenVPN server, an IRC bouncer, and monitoring on a single Linux server.
Use cases
- self-host my own email server
- run a private cloud instead of Google Apps
- set up my own VPN server
- host my own calendar and contacts sync
- get a personal file sync cloud
- host webmail and XMPP on my own server
- learn Ansible from real-world playbooks
When to choose
- you want full control and privacy over your email, files, and calendar without third-party providers
- you have a Linux server or VPS and prefer declarative Ansible-based provisioning
- you want a bundled suite of self-hosted services configured securely in one run
When to avoid
- you need a maintained turnkey product - the last release was late 2022 and components like ownCloud and EncFS are aging
- you want to self-host on non-Debian systems or containers rather than a dedicated Ubuntu/Debian server
- you are not comfortable with SSH server administration and occasional manual maintenance
