Much like Linux - Mini Debian, but done with Ubuntu...

Installing a minimal Ubuntu

Installer Menu
SSH Setup
Installation Not ActuallyComplete
Installation Complete
Boot Screen
Success!
  • Insert the CD/ISO/whatever & boot the machine/VM from it.
    • I'm running it as VMs under ESXi
      • "ESXi 6.7 VM", "Linux", "Ubuntu Linux (64-bit)"
      • 4 CPUs, 4GB memory, 16GB storage
  • Ubuntu Server defaults to a non-GUI install
  • Cruze along configuring the system to your liking until you reach the screen titled "SSH Setup"
  • Make sure Install OpenSSH server is selected, then continue
  • Keep cruzing along until it tells you Install complete AND you get the Reboot Now option at the bottom
  • When you tell it to continue, the system will reboot.
  • It'll probably fail to unmount the CD/ISO. Just hit Enter
  • During bootup, Ubunto appears to call home & set up some sort of cloud stuff... :(
  • When it's done booting, you won't see a login prompt until you smack the Enter key again.

All done

The sequence in pictures... Upon first boot up of your new system:

  • sudo apt update
  • sudo apt upgrade

(Because there're ALWAYS updates...)
