Sorry, yes, I probably should have provided more details. Please, wait about 2-3 hours and I’ll publish a complete guide at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/

I’ll post the exact URL here when I’ve it published.

That’s a very good strategy! We know about that bug for some time but never managed to describe it in detail and to file a bug. We’ll do it now so it hopefully gets fixed soon.
