Ubuntu Server tutorials

Note:
This documentation has moved to a new home! Please update your bookmarks to the new URL for the up-to-date version of this page.

We hope our tutorials make as few assumptions as possible and are broadly accessible to anyone with an interest in Ubuntu Server. They should also be a good place to start learning about Ubuntu Server in general, how it works, and what it’s capable of.

In our basic installation tutorial you will learn how to set up an Ubuntu Server; from installing using a bootable USB device, to navigating the Server installer menu.

Getting started
Basic installation

The Ubuntu installer has its own documentation. For more guidance on installing Ubuntu Server with the installer, you can also see these guides in the Ubuntu installer documentation (note: these pages will redirect you).

Once your Ubuntu Server is up and running, you may be interested in this collection of related tutorials and topics that will help you learn more about how it works and what’s available to you. These pages can be viewed in any order.

If you have a specific goal, but are already familiar with Ubuntu Server, take a look at our How-to guides. These have more in-depth detail and can be applied to a broader set of applications.

Take a look at our Reference section when you need to determine what commands are available, and how to interact with various tools.

Finally, for a better understanding of how Ubuntu Server works and how it can be used and configured, our Explanation section enables you to expand your knowledge of the operating system and additional software.
