## Why choose Ubuntu?

Ubuntu Server offers a large ecosystem of deployment examples and packages. For long-lived infrastructure, evaluate a supported LTS release and its maintenance coverage against your application’s dependencies.

## Keep the system supported

Keep the package sources understandable. External repositories and install scripts extend the trust boundary; verify their owner, update behaviour and removal procedure before adding them.

## A good workload fit

Application servers, containers, automation workers and development environments often benefit from Ubuntu’s broad documentation and vendor support.

## Secure the first login

Verify the SSH host key through a trusted channel where available. Add your own public key, use a unique administrative account and limit inbound ports to the services you actually run. Keep a tested path back in before changing firewall or authentication settings.

## Release and bundle are separate choices

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS appear in the initial image menu. For specialist deployments, compare minimal, Docker and WireGuard configurations. Choose a supported release that matches the application, then decide whether a bundled tool is useful.

## Review vendor instructions for the chosen release

An installer or repository written for one release may not be suitable for another. Check the package source and upgrade path. A ready-made Docker image still needs a firewall review and a backup of persistent application data.

## Extended image variants

These specialist variants differ from the six Linux choices in the configurator. Confirm the requested image is available, uses a supported release and has compatible drivers and a documented update path.

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base

- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS base

- Ubuntu 24.04 minimal

- Ubuntu 24.04 + Docker

- Ubuntu 24.04 + WireGuard
