This is Development Ubuntu dev setup

This is a set of scripts / configuration to generate a bootable ubuntu image that will automatically install ubuntu (LTS) onto the booted PC/laptop with our default dev setup

This setup provides:

a basic ubuntu desktop LTS install with some extra packages (including chrome + jetbrains toolbox)
preseeded wireless setup
full disk encryption (second stage bootloader + root)
our dev script
user is automatically added to docker group
docker-hoster is installed
latest firmware updates are installed after user setup

WARNING

Be very careful ... the generated installer image will wipe your whole disk when booted!!!!

After completing the installation as user; the user should run the following command to update the default disk encryption password to a personalised one:

change-disk-encryption-password

Preparations

This needs docker + usb-creator-gtk to work.

Setup your .env (see `.env.example)

OEM="TID"
UBUNTU_RELEASE="22.04"
UBUNTU_POINT_RELEASE=".1"
WIRELESS_SSID="<optional wireless ssid>"
WIRELESS_PASSWORD="<optional wireless password>"
INITIAL_DISK_PASSWORD="<your intial disk encryption password>"

Usage

Run the following command

./build.sh

After the iso is build, this will start usb-creator-gtk which can be used to "burn" this image onto a flash drive.

TODO

verify sha256 sums + gpg for iso
make sure unpack-iso is removed when a new iso is downloaded
progress indication for post-user-install
preseed timezone/keyboard etc in user-install
skip wireless in user-install
force user to set new password for disk-encryption
chrome settings for pipewire to enable video conferencing on ubuntu >= 22.04
