I realized now that "hostnamectl set-hostname" is not deterministic. Most of the times, the new hostname is lost after reboot, sometimes, without any apparent reason, it is preserved. The problem is that I installed Ubuntu 18.04 with the Live image, which has some peculiarities (see https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2390785). I will reinstall with the alternate ISO and see what happens.

The ipa-server-install script fails during step "[19/21]: starting httpd" of HTTP configuration. From my investigation, it seems that the problem is that the SSL private key in /var/lib/ipa/private/httpd.key has a passphrase, saved in /var/lib/ipa/<host>-443-RSA. The passphrase is correct (I checked with openssl), but Apache does not find it. [Test Case] Add repository ppa:freeipa/ppa, install freeipa-server, run ipa- server-install. [What expected] ipa-server-install terminates without errors. [What happens] ipa-server-install fails.
