For those afraid of managing a server without user interface (UI) or for those, like me, who use the server as a media player also, this is the way to go.

If you intend to only store/acces you personal files and are familiar with no UI servers you may go for this solution.

• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installation
  • 1. First you need to get a fresh installation ISO for Ubuntu 22.04. Seasoned linux users, who do not intend to use the server as a media player also, may go for the server solution. This guide will cover desktop installation, for users less accustomed with Ubuntu.
  • 2. Prepare a USB bootable media for Ubuntu installation. I personally like using a tool like Rufus
  • 3. Boot from USB media.
  • 4. First user input: choose Install Ubuntu.

  

  • 5. Choose keyboard layout.
  • 6. User input: choose Minimal installation and Download updates while installing Ubuntu.

  

  • 7. Choose Erase disk and install Ubuntu. I don't recommand creating separate partitions (Something else). This would mess up Prvstorage when computing free disk space.

  

  • 8. Write changes to disk? Continue.
  • 9. Choose location.
  • 10. Set username, computer's name, password. Select Require my password to login.You should write down these information and keep it safe. Password used here will be asked whenever you make modifications to your system (install, update, edit config files, etc).

  

  • 11. Continue: just sit back and relax, installation will take few minutes.
  • 12. Remove installation media and reboot when finished.
  • 13. After restart you should get to the login screen of Ubuntu operating system.
  • 14. After login there will be a small, first time setup. Just go for the obvious settings and you are DONE.

  

  • 15. Login to your Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop.
  • 16. Type the following command and hit ENTER to download package information from all configured sources.

    $ sudo apt update

  • 17. Type the following command and hit ENTER to update Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop.

    $ sudo apt upgrade -y

  • 17. Sit back and relax as Ubuntu 22.04 updates every package to latest release.

  Now you face a pretty simple choice:

  1. Go Next step if you are familiar with linux distributions or want to learn more about linux, and install needed software one by one.
  2. Install needed software in one go, save time, so TAKE THE SHORTCUT.
