🚀 Quick Start

Desktops, Laptops & Servers

All physical installations leverage Ventoy's autoinstall plugin to automatically pass configuration files to the respective installers:

• Ubuntu (Desktop/Server) - Subiquity format (user-data, inspired by Cloud-Init)
• Fedora - Kickstart format (kickstart.ks)
• Fedora CoreOS - Ignition format (ignition.yaml)

Ventoy setup

Create the following structure in the Ventoy partition:

/autoinstall/
├── desktops/
│   └── buran/
│       ├── ubuntu/
│       │   └── 26.04/
│       │       └── autoinstall.user-data
│       └── fedora/
│           └── 44/
│               └── kickstart.ks
│
├── laptops/
│   └── foton/
│       ├── ubuntu/
│       │   └── 26.04/
│       │       └── autoinstall.user-data
│       └── fedora/

/ventoy/
└── ventoy.json
fedora-44.iso
ubuntu-24.04.4-server.iso
ubuntu-26.04-desktop.iso
...

Create a ventoy.json file to map ISOs to unattended configuration files:

{
    "auto_install":[
        {
            "image": "/ubuntu-**.**-desktop-******.iso",
            "template": [
                "/autoinstall/laptops/foton/ubuntu/26.04/autoinstall.user-data",
                "/autoinstall/desktops/buran/ubuntu/26.04/autoinstall.user-data"
            ]
        },
        {
            "image": "/ubuntu-**.**-desktop.iso",
            "template": [
                "/autoinstall/laptops/foton/ubuntu/26.04/autoinstall.user-data",
                "/autoinstall/desktops/buran/ubuntu/26.04/autoinstall.user-data"
            ]
        },
        {
            "image": "/fedora-**.iso",
            "template": [
                "/autoinstall/desktops/buran/fedora/44/kickstart.ks",
                "/autoinstall/laptops/foton/fedora/44/kickstart.ks"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Boot the USB key, select an ISO, and choose the desired automated installation option.
