Please report bugs to this github issue tracker. This script is tested with Ubuntu 18.04 ("bionic beaver") and above. Today ubuntu-server-netboot needs to run on Ubuntu or another Debian derivative with the following packages installed: Troubleshootingįor more details on setting up a PXE environment for x86 systems using a legacy BIOS, see this discourse post.įor more details on setting up a PXE environment for UEFI-based systems, see this discourse post. Then your netboot server is ready to go if the corresponding DHCP is set up. Let's copy: $ sudo cp -r /tmp/tmpxxx/ubuntu-installer/* /srv/tftp

You may check your tftpd configuration of the root directory, for instance, tftpd-hpa is /etc/default/tftpd-hpa. To your tftp root folder for netboot, for example /srv/tftp or /var/lib/tftpboot. Usage of the Generated FilesĬopy the files generated under the interim folder /tmp/tmpxxx/ubuntu-installer/ "console=ttyS0") to the generated configuration files using the -extra-args parameter. You can also add additional kernel command line arguments (e.g. Introduction of Ubuntu Server guide](Automated Server Installs Introduction) for more details. See our autoinstall example and [the autoinstall and Automated Server Installs Optionally, you can place -autoinstall-url to tell the netbooting process to enable subiquity automation. Just be sure that -iso and -url point to the same version of the ISO. If you have a local copy of the ISO, you can point to it with the -iso parameter to avoid having ubuntu-server-netboot download an extra copy.

ubuntu-server-netboot will generate configuration files that point the installer to this URL. Subiquity-based installs need to download an image at install-time.ubuntu-server-netboot will download the image at runtime to extract the necessary files from it.The -url parameter is used for 2 reasons: INFO: Netboot generation complete: /tmp/tmpo54145m2/ubuntu-installer The tree contents are similar to the contents of the file that debian-installer builds provide.
