install ubuntu server 20.04 on virtualbox

If you’ve been given a hostname, use that. You may want to use something like web, mail, database, hosting, controller anything you want really can go here. The hostname (server name) is the name that the machine will be identified as. Create it after /boot and before the large space (this doesn’t matter but makes life easier later when resizing). You should delete the partitions you’ve created so far and create the swap in the same way you did the /boot sector (you’ll see it as an option in “Use as” when configuring the partition) and it should generally be 2 x your RAM amount - unless using more than 64GB. If you’re NOT following the Kubernetes guide then it is recommended you configure swap space. This is because this guide is part of my Kubernetes tutorial series which requires swap to be disabled. * Important note: You haven’t set any swap space up here. Whilst that’s fine, it’s unlikely you’ll see this in a real world scenario. Most guides will take you through only using a single disk and either creating everything in one partition or, if you’re lucky, breaking it down to /boot, / and swap* (boot, root and swap). You made it! Now I know the disk configuration may seem complex but once you’ve done it a few times, it becomes pretty easy. If you’re not sure about how this is done then take a look at my tutorials on how to use them. If you’re using Virtualbox or libvirt/KVM/QEMU then you can just attach the ISO directly to the VM.

Linux: Run in a terminal sudo dd if=/path/to/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/USB_Device.

There are plenty of guides online on how you can achieve this however two quick examples for USB sticks are: If you’re using a physical machine then you’ll need to download the ISO and put it onto a USB stick or CD so that you can install Ubuntu. I’m going to presume you have a physical PC/server or virtual machine on which you wish to install Ubuntu. It will go into quite a bit of detail including software RAID and LVM and as such if you don’t have at least 2 disks available then you may not be able to follow along exactly that doesn’t mean you can’t follow along though!

This guide is to help people set up and configure a basic Ubuntu server from start to finish.
