Setup Ubuntu Server

Prerequisites

  • Spare Hardware: A spare Computer or Laptop with at least 4GB of RAM, 128GB of Storage, and a Quad Core CPU.
  • Pendrive: A Pendrive with at least 8GB of Storage.
  • Home Network: A Simple Home Network with a Router atleast.

Step 1: Create a Bootable Pendrive

  1. Download the latest version of Ubuntu Server ISO from the official website.
  2. Use balenaEtcher to flash the ISO to your pendrive.

Step 2: BIOS Configuration

  1. Insert the bootable pendrive into the server hardware.
  2. Enter the BIOS settings of the computer.
  3. Disable all other boot drives to ensure the system boots from the pendrive and avoids confusion during installation.

Step 3: Installation

  1. Follow the generic steps to install Ubuntu Server.
  2. SSH Setup: When prompted, choose to import SSH keys from GitHub. This allows for seamless login later.
  3. Profile Setup: Create a root profile and a common user profile as required.

Step 4: Post-Installation

  1. Once installed, leave the server powered on.
  2. Assign a Static IP to the server within your local network (usually done via your Router's DHCP reservation settings).
