Now Login on the shell (or remotely by SSH) on the server as user “administrator”. In the next chapter, I will explain the configuration of the static network address and install a shell based text editor for editing configuration files. Remove the installation CD from the CD drive and hit Continue to reboot the system: The base system installation is now finished. The installer now finished the Ubuntu installation.

Select Yes when you are asked Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record?: The only items I select here are OpenSSH server and Standard System Utilities so that I can immediately connect to the system with an SSH client such as PuTTY after the installation has finished: Of course, it’s up to you what you select here: Therefore, I select Install Security Updates automatically.

I like to update my servers automatically. Leave the HTTP proxy line empty unless you’re using a proxy server to connect to the Internet: Now the package manager “apt” gets configured. When you’re finished, hit Yes when you’re asked Write the changes to disks?:Īfterward, your new partitions are being created and formatted. It makes sense to leave some space unused so that you can later on expand your existing logical volumes or create new ones – this gives you more flexibility. You can now specify how much of that disk space should be used by the logical volumes for / and swap. If you have selected Guided – use entire disk and set up LVM, the partitioner will create one big volume group that uses all the disk space. When you’re asked to Write the changes to disks and configure LVM?, select Yes: For simplicity’s sake I select Guided – use entire disk and set up LVM – this will create one volume group with two logical volumes, one for the / file system and another one for swap (of course, the partitioning is totally up to you – if you know what you’re doing, you can also set up your partitions manually). Now you have to partition your hard disk. Please check if the installer detected your time zone correctly. I don’t need an encrypted private directory, so I choose No here:
I will create a user with the name Administrator and user name administrator (don’t use the user name admin as it is a reserved name on Ubuntu Linux): Therefore, we create a new system user here for the initial login. Ubuntu does not let you log in as root user directly.
In this example, my server is named, so I enter : The installer checks the installation CD, your hardware, and configures the network with DHCP if there is a DHCP server in the network:Įnter the hostname of the system. I prefer to select the right keyboard from a list and therefore, I choose No & keyboard layout as German: The location settings are important for the keyboard layout, locale and timezone of your server:Ĭhoose a keyboard layout: You have the option to let the Ubuntu installer detect the keyboard layout automatically by choosing “yes” here.
Select the language for the installed Operating System: Then choose the option Install Ubuntu Server: The first screen will show the language selector.

When you install the OS in a virtual machine like I do it here, then you should be able to select the downloaded ISO file as source for the CD/DVD drive in VMWare and Virtualbox without burning it on CD first. Insert your Ubuntu install CD into your system and boot from it. In this tutorial, I use the hostname with the IP address 192.168.1.100 and the gateway 192.168.1.1 These settings might differ for you, so you have to replace them where appropriate.
