Ubuntu cloud-init & autoinstall iso files

This repository is used to create server_seed_iso files for Ubuntu cloud-init and also creates the Ubuntu autoinstall ISO based on the UBUNTU_CODENAME variable in Makefile.

server seed iso files

• the iso files are created based on the subfolders of server_seed_iso
• to create a new server seed iso file just create a new subfolder at server_seed_iso
• at the new folder create the following files:
  • meta-data
  • user-data
  • network-config (not needed for Ubuntu autoinstall)

autoinstall iso files

• the autoinstall iso file is created based on the UBUNTU_CODENAME variable in Makefile
• the iso is downloaded from https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/$ubuntu_codename/daily-live/current/$ubuntu_codename-live-server-amd64.iso

server installation

• prepare one USB stick with FAT32 and name the stick cidata

• copy the files meta-data and user-data into the root folder of this USB stick

• prepare a second USB stick with the ubuntu-UBUNTU_CODENAME-autoinstall_DATE.iso

• you can use a tool like Rufus
