Using a fresh ISO speeds things up because there won't be as many packages to update during the installation.Р”В«y default, the source ISO image is checked for integrity and authenticity using GPG. This script can use an existing ISO image or download the latest daily image from the Ubuntu project. At the end the machine will reboot into the new OS. With an 'all-in-one' ISO, you simply boot a machine using the ISO and the installer will do the rest. The meta-data file is optional and will be empty if it is not specified.

It's really very easy! To bake everything into a single ISO instead, you can use the -a flag with this script and provide a user-data file containing the autoinstall configuration and optionally cloud-init data, plus a meta-data file if you choose. To attach via a volume (such as a separate ISO image), see the Ubuntu autoinstall quick start guide. This data can be passed over the network (not yet supported in this script), via an attached volume, or be baked into the ISO itself. The installer to work - see the Ubuntu documentation for an example, which is also in the user-data.example file in this repository (password: ubuntu). This script automates the process of creating an ISO with this built-in.Р”Р„utoinstall configuration (disk layout, language etc) can be passed along with cloud-init data to the installer.

The basic idea is to take an unmodified Ubuntu ISO image, extract it, add some kernel command line parameters, then repack the data into a new ISO. Looking for the desktop version? BehaviorР”В¬heck out the usage information below for arguments. This uses the new autoinstall methodР”Р‡or Ubuntu 20.04 and newer. The SDC is a very useful piece of utility on Ubuntu and this facelift cum simplification is going to be a welcome change.A script to generate a fully-automated ISO image for installing Ubuntu onto a machine without human interaction. If both the options fail, an error window would be displayed. As per the current recommendation, if no ISO is found but the device is connected to the internet a download view would be opened. ThereРІР‚в„ўs a major focus on automatically finding ISOs on the system within 300ms usingР’В locate, Zeitgeist and find utilities. The newer SDC is planned to be as easy as possible for the user with minimal options to choose a target USB pen drive, a source ISO (or download an image directly from the tool) and create the USB in a click. The main reasons behind writing a new tool are the lengthy workflow, abundance of unimportant information and dated GUI of the current utility. The new tool would be written in GO and QML and some mock-ups are available. The goalР’В is to write a completely new tool and release it with Ubuntu 16.04. After OOBE, plans to rewrite Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator (SDC) surfaced today.
