subiquity

Ubuntu Server Installer

Acquire subiquity from source

git clone https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/subiquity

cd subiquity && make install_deps

Testing out the Text-UI (TUI)

SUbiquity's text UI is is available for testing without actually installing anything to a system or a VM. Subiquity developers make use of this for rapid development. After checking out subiquity you can start it:

make dryrun

All of the features are present in dry-run mode. The installer will emit its backend configuration files to /tmp/subiquity-config-* but it won't attempt to run any installer commands (which would fail without root privileges). Further, subiquity can load other machine profiles in case you want to test out the installer without having access to the machine. A few sample machine profiles are available in the repository at ./examples/ and can be loaded via the MACHINE make variable:

make dryrun MACHINE=examples/desktop.json

Generating machine profiles

Machine profiles are generated from the probert tool. To collect a machine profile:

PYTHONPATH=probert ./probert/bin/probert --all > mymachine.json

Making an install image.

To try out subiquity for real, it is necessary to make an image and run it in a VM. See installer/README.md for instructions on how to do this.
