Hetzner Rescue Ubuntu Server Minimum Installation via SSH
HI..
Today im going to show you how to install a clean version of ubuntu server minimum onto Hetzner Rescue Server using SSH(Putty)
For this guide im using a standard virtual server offered by hetzner
(1Core, 1Gb Ram, 25GB SSD)
1. So before we start please go and download Putty.
2. So load putty, fill in the first box HostName which is the IP you was sent.
Leave port (Will be default at 22)
Click Open,
Agree to the security Alert
When you have logged in you will see
root@rescue
Type in installimage and hit enter,
This will kick off Hetzner Installation screen
Go down to Ubuntu and Hit Enter,
Pick from the selection of Images,
I will pick 1610 (Latest)
After renaming be sure to leave a space after the word HOSTNAME
Next is Partitions,
Now due to my vServer only have 1 HDD, i don't have to worry about LVM setup in this video. So for now we are only setting up one HDD, I can make a future post on merging HDD's if that will Help others for Plex or Seedbox or even both Setups
The only thing i change on my setup is not given /home a space limit, so to remove this i do the following
/ tmp 1gb - This can be anything you want
/ swp 1gb - Same as above
/ boot 512m - Same as Above
/ all - Any Space you have left will get placed here
Be Sure to delete the Hash Tag
*There is a / all at the bottom of the page due to typing this with the rest of the partitions we need to make sure we delete it out.
When done Hit F10,
HighLight yes and Hit Enter,
This is warning you that all Data will be deleted, Highlight Yes and Hit Enter
You will need to reboot the server to finish installation,
You do this by typing in reboot now
Your server can take up to 60 seconds to turn back on
Close Putty and wait,
Load Putty
Due to this being a new setup, you will be re prompted for a security alert, this is normal hit YES
You will see from the top, what version of ubuntu is now installed.
The Last Steps i would recommend is to log back in to the server, Making sure all partitions are correct,
Type df -h
The partition / will have the rest of the space
And the last step is to change your root password to something you will remember
type passwd (hit enter)
you are all done,
One Clean Box, Ready for Anything,
