Installation Omada Controller Workflow

Ensure your hardware meets the minimum specs: 1 GHz processor, 8 GB RAM, and 40GB disk space (recommended: 2+ GHz core, 32GB+ RAM, 100GB+ storage). Download the official ISO for Ubuntu Server from Canonical:
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ISO Ubuntu 26.04 LTS ISO

Flash the downloaded ISO onto a USB flash drive (minimum 4GB) using tools like Rufus or Ventoy. Insert the USB into your target server and boot from it via BIOS/UEFI settings.

Select your preferred installation language and layout for your keyboard. The modern Subiquity installer will check for updates; choose whether to update to the latest installer version before proceeding.

Configure your network interface (DHCP is selected by default, must set a static IP). For storage, choose between using the entire disk with LVM layout or setting up custom manual partitions.

Enter your profile details (Your name, server name, username, and password). Optionally choose to install the OpenSSH server for remote management. Let the installation complete, then reboot and remove the installation media.
