    2. Install Umbrel

Install Ubuntu

For the storage configuration, use the entire disk.

entire disk

When you install Ubuntu, you'll want to use umbrel as the user name. Later on, a handful of scripts will depend on being located under /home/umbrel.

select umbrel as the user

Install Umbrel

Once you are logged in as the umbrel user in your new Ubuntu system, execute the script install-umbrel.sh. It'll take care of everything.

From /home/umbrel:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/givanse/umbrel-ubuntu/master/install-umbrel.sh
chmod u+x ./install-umbrel.sh
./install-umbrel.sh

On completion, you'll see a message like this one:

Umbrel is now accessible at
  http://umbrel.local
  http://192.168.50.70
  http://012lp6omt2yeahthisisnotarealtoraddressncrdvxedd35uzubp2fid.onion
Skipping status update when not on Umbrel OS

Install completed. If you like, reboot to verify Umbrel starts on bootstrap.

Your Umbrel node is running. Now, go to a browser and visit your node's address (ex. 192.168.50.70), and the Umbrel setup wizard will guide you from there.

Notes

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the domain umbrel.local to work, so the IP and TOR addresses will have to suffice.

Please send a PR if there's something wrong or odd with the install script, here is the repo: givanse/umbrel-ubuntu
