+# Image Creator
+
+Based on [covertsh/ubuntu-autoinstall-generator](https://github.com/covertsh/ubuntu-autoinstall-generator), which generates a customized, fully-automated ISO image for installing Ubuntu onto a machine without human interaction using [cloud-init](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) and the new **autoinstall** feature of Ubuntu's Ubiquity installer. 
+
+This spin-off project adds support for [eltorito + GPT images required for Ubuntu 20.10 and newer](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1289400/remaster-installation-image-for-ubuntu-20-10). It also keeps support for the [now depricated isolinux + MBR](https://archive.org/details/ubuntukylin2104-201214-daily) image type. In addition, the process is dockerized to make it possible to run on Mac/Windows hosts in addition to Linux.
+
+## Behavior
+
+ - Find an unmodified Ubuntu ISO image, 
+ - Download it, 
+ - Extract it, 
+ - Add some kernel command line parameters, 
+ - Add our custom cloud-init config,
+ - Repack the data into a new ISO.
+ - Create a bootable USB drive (Optional)
+
+
+<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudymax/ubuntu-autoinstall-generator-dockerized/main/liveiso.drawio.svg">
+
+
+## How it works
+
+First we download the ISO of your choice - a daily build, or a release. (Daily builds are faster because they don't require as many updates/upgrades)
+
+By default, the source ISO image is checked for integrity and authenticity using GPG. This can be disabled with ```-k```.
+
+We combine an `autoistall` config from the Ubuntu [Ubiquity installer](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubiquity), and a [cloud-init](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) `cloud-config` / `user-data` file. 
+
+The resulting product is a fully-automated Ubuntu install with pre-provision capabilities for basic users, groups, packages, storage, networks etc... This serves as an easy stepping-off point to Ansible, puppet, Chef and other configuration-management tooling for enterprise users, or to personalization tools like [jessebot/onboardme](https://github.com/jessebot/onboardme) for every-day users.
+
+> Be aware that, while similar in schema, the Autoinstall and Cloud-Init portions of the file do not mix - the `user-data` value on line 44 marks the transition from autoinstall to cloud-init syntax.
+
+## References
+
+- Autoinstall configuration options and schema can be found [HERE](https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-reference).
+
+- Cloud-Init options and examples may be found [HERE](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html)
+
+- You can also refer to the provided example file [HERE](image-creator/user-data.example)
+
+## **Usage**
+
+- Build a combined `autoinstall` + `cloud-init` image by using the ```-a``` flag and providing a **user-data** file containing the autoinstall configuration and cloud-init data.
+A **meta-data** file may be included if you choose. The file will be empty if it is not specified. You may read more about providing a `meta-data` file [HERE](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/instancedata.html)
+
+- With an 'all-in-one' ISO, you simply boot a machine using the ISO and the installer will do the rest.
+
+- This script can use an existing ISO image or download the latest daily image from the Ubuntu project. 
+Using a fresh ISO speeds things up because there won't be as many packages to update during the installation.
+
+- By default, the source ISO image is checked for integrity and authenticity using GPG. This can be disabled with `-k`.
+
+```bash
+docker build -t iso-generator . && \
+docker run -it --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/app iso-generator \
+ubuntu-autoinstall-generator.sh -a -u user-data.example -n jammy
+```
+
+## Command-line options
+```
+Usage: ubuntu-autoinstall-generator.sh [-h] [-v] [-a] [-e] [-u user-data-file] [-m meta-data-file] [-k] [-c] [-r] [-s source-iso-file] [-d destination-iso-file]
+
+💁 This script will create fully-automated Ubuntu installation media.
+
+Available options:
+
+-h, --help              Print this help and exit
+
+-v, --verbose           Print script debug info
+
+-n, --code-name         The Code Name of the Ubuntu release to download (bionic, focal, jammy etc...)
+
+-a, --all-in-one        Bake user-data and meta-data into the generated ISO. By default you will
+                        need to boot systems with a CIDATA volume attached containing your
+                        autoinstall user-data and meta-data files.
+                        For more information see: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-quickstart
+
+-e, --use-hwe-kernel    Force the generated ISO to boot using the hardware enablement (HWE) kernel. Not supported
+                        by early Ubuntu 20.04 release ISOs.
+
+-u, --user-data         Path to user-data file. Required if using -a
+
+-m, --meta-data         Path to meta-data file. Will be an empty file if not specified and using -a
+
+-k, --no-verify         Disable GPG verification of the source ISO file. By default SHA256SUMS-<current date> and
+                        SHA256SUMS-<current date>.gpg files in the script directory will be used to verify the authenticity and integrity
+                        of the source ISO file. If they are not present the latest daily SHA256SUMS will be
+                        downloaded and saved in the script directory. The Ubuntu signing key will be downloaded and
+                        saved in a new keyring in the script directory.
+
+-r, --use-release-iso   Use the current release ISO instead of the daily ISO. The file will be used if it already
+                        exists.
+
+-s, --source            Source ISO file. By default the latest daily ISO for Ubuntu 20.04 will be downloaded
+                        and saved as <script directory>/ubuntu-original-<current date>.iso
+                        That file will be used by default if it already exists.
+
+-d, --destination       Destination ISO file. By default <script directory>/ubuntu-autoinstall-<current date>.iso will be
+                        created, overwriting any existing file.
+```
