| _ruben | hi, not sure if this is the place to ask, but is there some "easy" way to mimic the installers behaviour when using say debootstrap? or put differently: how would/should one go about installing ubuntu server into a directory instead of an actual system? | 12:44 |
| _ruben | tried making sense out of the various seeds, but couldnt really destile a nice clean "default list of packages" from that. that'd be a great start already | 12:54 |
| xnox | _ruben, just use ubuntu base tarballs? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/xenial/release/ | 13:02 |
| xnox | it's a debootstrap of minimal server install, sans bootloader/kernel | 13:03 |
| xnox | a good starting point for e.g. containers and/or custom kernel/bootloader scenarios | 13:03 |
| _ruben | xnox: that's more or less what I already got by using debootstrap myself. looking for something that comes close to having actually install "ubuntu server" | 13:05 |
| _ruben | perhaps i should just do a preseeded installation and pull an image from the result, though was wondering if there'd be a (not too convoluted) alternative to that | 13:07 |
| _ruben | background: i want to move away from installer based installs to image based installs for my vms | 13:10 |
| xnox | _ruben, ubuntu uses seeds... to generate metapackages. | 13:12 |
| xnox | _ruben, thus apt install ubuntu-server is the same as using seeds to figure out what should be included. | 13:12 |
| xnox | _ruben, the Tasks too, are generated from seeds | 13:13 |
| xnox | _ruben, thus you can also do $ apt install server^ | 13:13 |
| xnox | but that's neaty gretty details. | 13:14 |
| xnox | there are bigger and smaller metapackages and tasks for you to pick and choose how you want to do things. | 13:14 |
| _ruben | xnox: i reached that point myself just now (the server^ part is) | 13:15 |
| _ruben | seems i "need" standard^ too (when using my debootstrap env as base) | 13:16 |
| xnox | yes | 13:23 |
| cyphermox | yeah, you need both standard^ and server^ usually | 14:26 |
| cyphermox | not *much* is missing if you don't have standard, but just enough to be occasionally annoying | 14:27 |
| cyphermox | you can use tasksel to have a graphical way to pick the actual task you want | 14:27 |
| cyphermox | from that point you can pick say "OpenSSH server" and "Mail server" and have the same story as what the ubuntu-server install does | 14:28 |
| cyphermox | _ruben: ^ | 14:29 |
| _ruben | thanks | 15:00 |
