Ubuntu Autoinstallation on VirtualBox

Read Original

This technical guide explains how to use Ubuntu 20.04's Autoinstallation tool (similar to cloud-init) to automate the setup of a virtual machine in VirtualBox. It covers creating a configuration file to set a hostname, static IP address, create a user with SSH-only access, install an SSH server, and generate a custom ISO for a hands-off installation process.
