[bitfolk] Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) now available for new installs and self-installs

Hi, Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) is now available for new installs and self-installs using our Xen Shell: https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Using_the_self-serve_net_installer In a change to previous releases, Ubuntu has switched away from the Debian installer and recommends that the official Ubuntu Cloud Image is used for installs on public clouds. So, when you kick off an install of Ubuntu 22.04 it will: - ask you for your chosen hostname and password - overwrite your disk with the image for Ubuntu 22.04 - boot it and customise it automatically using the hostname and password you provided and information held in your BitFolk account. For more information please see the article about Ubuntu at BitFolk: https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Ubuntu#22.04_.28Jammy_Jellyfish.29_and_beyond Upgrades from 20.04 to 22.04 can be done as usual using "do-release-upgrade", although do note that it's normal Ubuntu policy to not offer an upgrade until the first point release of the LTS, so at the moment you would need to force that with "do-release-upgrade -d". We are not aware of any particular issues with upgrading to or installing Ubuntu 22.04 at BitFolk. As always you should read Ubuntu's own release notes for general things to be aware of.
