Registering Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 Clients

This section contains information about registering Salt clients running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, 18.04 LTS operating systems.

Uyuni supports Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS clients using Salt. Traditional clients are not supported.

Canonical does not endorse or support Uyuni.

Bootstrapping is supported for starting Ubuntu clients and performing initial state runs such as setting repositories and performing profile updates. However, the root user on Ubuntu is disabled by default, so to use bootstrapping, you will require an existing user with sudo privileges for Python.

Prepare to Register

Some preparation is required before you can register Ubuntu clients to the Uyuni Server.
