Generally, you can continue without updating. If the installation fails, try it with the updated installer
Please select "Ubuntu Server," not the minimized option. We require the additional packages that come with it
If you have multiple network devices connected to the network, you may want to create a bond to ensure better reliability. If your router supports 802.3ad, we recommend that. If not, you can just use one network device.
Regardless of if you are using a bond or the network card directly, please make sure you set the IPv4 method through manual mode, not DHCP. This will ensure that the IP will never change, which we require.
When setting your mirror, please set a geographically-close mirror to ensure responsiveness and speed
Once you've selected "Use an entire disk, check the "Set up this disk as an LVM group box"
On this step, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK "Set up this disk as an LVM group."
Then, confirm!
Your name: Set this to be anything
Your server's name: set this to be something descriptive. It does not need to be anything special; it's solely the name of the server that connects to your network, so it can largely be ignored.
Pick a username: tensordock. Please do NOT do anything else! Not tensordock01, not tensordock_user. Just tensordock.
Choose a password: Make this a long and complex password! If it is guessable, then hackers could access your machine and do damage to your internal network! You can also log on later and then change the password then.
Then, install OpenSSH server, as shown above. DO NOT install additional 3rd-party drivers (do not install NVIDIA drivers)
