Add support for Ubuntu 22.10 #380

Closed steve-todorov closed 2 years ago

steve-todorov commented 2 years ago

Hey,

I have been using your images for a while now - great work! :)

Since I needed Ubuntu 22.10 (KVM) for some devops experiments I decided to clone your repo and try to add the template / configuration myself. Unfortunately it looks like you can no longer use the Legacy Ubuntu Installer approach: 

Legacy Ubuntu Server Installer Images
The Legacy Ubuntu Server Installer is no longer available.

From what I understand the new way of doing this is through PXELinux and TFTP as mentioned here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/netbooting-the-live-server-installer/14510

Have you had time to investigate this yet?

Not yet... Using PXE / TFTP way may be easy for libvirt/qemu, but it will not be so easy for VirtualBox.

That is the reason why I tried to use the legacy option (with booting ISO image) as "long" as possible - because that method works "everywhere" and is easy to setup.

Thanks for the fast response!

I understand. I haven't used VirtulBox for more than 10 years now as my work mainly involves libvirt/qemu. However, I found out these links while checking out for PXE support so I decided to post them here as they might help:

Oops... Forgot to reply in time. This is still an issue so maybe re-open it? :)
