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.
Cheers,
Andy
