This will give you a list of each of you network devices and their addresses.
I like to tunnel, since I don’t regularly keep a keyboard and monitor on my servers (also, the ability to scroll up easily is nice too!) If you don’t know the address, you can get it easily by simply logging in and entering ip address. Now you can either ssh tunnel into your server, or log in. Once you continue, the selected packages will install and then you will be prompted to install GRUB. After that finishes, remove your install media and hit continue. I don’t do auto updates, at least not since getting woken in the middle of the night to fix a server that was had dependencies broken by updates… Package selectionįor the purposes of this how to, I am only going to choose OpenSSH server and standard system utilities. A few more components will then be installed before you are prompted for your preference on package updates. Once this is done you will be prompted for proxy info, if you are not sure just hit enter. The base kernel gets installed once you have your partitioning done, it usually takes one or two minutes. The efi boot partition is not shown above as this was done in a KVM instance.įinish up the partitioning, if there are any errors you should be prompted to what needs corrected. Note: When using LVM you do need to make a separate boot partition, as well as efi boot partition. You will have to assign mount points to each of the logical volumes, for mine I use / (root) /home /var and swap. I have also left some room for future assignment, you don’t need to do this, but I often have other partitions planned and want the space for them. Note, I am only using a 1 to 1 ratio for swap, as I don’t dip into it very often. I highly recommend LVM so that you can use snapshots for backing up. Choose your time zone (it should already be correct if you are connected to the Internet in the location the server will be used). New to 16.04 is the option to show the password in clear text during setup.Ĭhoose whether or not to encrypt your home directory, I don’t, but I also don’t keep sensitive data in my home folder on a web server. TIP: If you have multiple systems running Linux, one very nice feature is that if you are utilizing the same username on each of them, tunneling with ssh and sftp can be used without having to enter the username. Next is setting up the primary user and password. If you are doing this at home, name it what you care to (this computer really seems to be a marvin). If you are doing this in a work enviroment, you either know what it should be or who to ask.
If you are using standard English, you can just hit enter a few times to get through this part. Install the base Ubuntu 16.04 systemĬhoose your language and keyboard layout. While you can increase the blocksize, 512 is safe and less likely to produce an unbootable image. Replace the image name with the full name of the file downloaded.ĭd if= of=/dev/sdX bs=512k
For terminal, determine your USB device and then from the location of the image execute the following command in Terminal.
Linux: Dependent on what flavor you are using you can either use the GUI tool you already have, or terminal. Mac UnetBootin generally works well: unetbootin
