Probably dummy question, but I can't find answer myself.

What package adds "ubuntu" user?

While using Ubuntu LTS 20.04 docker image, mentioned user is not present. Which make sense, as image is supposed to be minimal. However I would like to avoid adding that user myself via useradd.

eg server distribution is equipped with mentioned user with uid==1000, so I believe there is package that is doing exactly that

Some pre-made cloud images are spun to have an "Ubuntu" user.

That user is created by a cloud-init setting. You can see it among the examples in the documentation.

  • That make sense. By any chance, do you know where I can find cloud-init configuration that is used to build public ISO images created by Canonical (if it's public)?

  • Well, that documentation was written by Canonical folks, so I'd start by looking at launchpad.net/cloud-init and follow the many leads there until you find the file (or person) you need.
