Ansible Role: Ubuntu Autoinstall

This role will:

• Download and verify (GPG and SHA256) the newest Ubuntu Server 20.04 ISO
• Unpack the ISO and integrate the user-data file for semi-automated installation
• Repack the ISO and (optionally) upload it to PiKVM for futher installation

Special thanks to:

• covertsh for Ubuntu Autoinstall Generator – this repo is pretty much an Ansible version of their script

Example playbook:

---
- hosts: all
  gather_facts: yes
  become: no

  roles:
    - role: notthebee.ubuntu_autoinstall

Variables

• boot_drive_serial – the serial number of the drive where you want to install Ubuntu. You can find it out using ls /dev/disk/by-id. Make sure to omit the interface (e.g. ata- or scsi-).
• iso_arch – Architecture of the output ISO file. amd64 and arm64 are supported

Other variables are more or less self-explanatory and can be found in defaults/main.yml
