The next-generation subiquity server installer brings the comfortable live session and speedy install of Ubuntu Desktop to server users. With 20.04 LTS, we will be completing the transition to the live server installer and discontinuing the classic server installer based on debian-installer (d-i), allowing us to focus our engineering efforts on a single codebase. Notice we used the preseed file in the Ubuntu 18.04 in our HashiCorp Packer for VMware Ubuntu 18.04 templates video. Therefore, we can’t rely on the preseed file that we used in the past. The classic server debian-installer is discontinued. The new way to install Ubuntu is using something called subiquity server installer. Folder Structure Ubuntu Server Installer for 20.04 LTS Folder Structureīelow is the structure of the repo folder. Let’s take a look at the most important configuration pieces needed. Access to a vSphere instance (tested on vSphere v6.7)īelow is our setup diagram.The following is required to follow along: UPDATE: This is a shout-out to my colleague Kalen Arndt for his excellent work on Packer with cloud-init. In a subsequent blog post, we will see how to use Terraform to provision VMs by cloning this VMware template. The goal of this blog post is to help the private cloud teams to see an example of how to automate the creation of a Ubuntu 20.04 VMware template with Packer. As a result, these private cloud teams are also implementing IaC on-premises. In speaking with multiple customers, we’ve seen that private cloud teams are seeing the benefits of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) workflows used in cloud environments.
However, we’ve seen lately that VMware is also getting a lot of attention. Tools such as Packer and Terraform from HashiCorp have been widely used for Cloud environments. 04:59 – Configuration Walk-Through Starts.You can skip to the relevant chapters below:
