Are there any plans to make the ISO available for this version? On the official page is not available...

    The official page you mention was last updated some time ago (2018-10-07 10:00:41 to remove 17.10 as EOL) being updated with the best information then available at the time. Wiki's often only get updated when noticed..

  • So we do not have a minimal iso for 20/04 LTS, right?

It has moved to a new location: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/mini.iso

Note that it moved to legacy images. Folks who use this image should start to look at newer options:

...and others.

    Thanks for providing the legacy link. Do you happen to know which of the alternatives you linked most closely resembles the functionality / purpose of the mini.iso? I checked each of them, and it was not easy to tell as they all seem to have a different purpose in mind.

    Depends upon if it's bare metal or a container/VM. If it's bare metal, depends upon the size and architecture. The closest equivalent I see for the functionality/purpose I care about (tiny download, includes kernel, deb based) is the Netboot-using-PXE, Folks who don't like PXE can use the 18.04/19.10 minimal and dist-upgrade it. Example: My next testing server build is likely to be Ubuntu Core on bare metal, with a bunch of LXD containers on top, each running a Cloud Image (or perhaps a Base Image).

  • Thanks for the extra context. Mostly, I care about the functionality you mentioned, tiny download, kernel, deb based, etc., but sometimes for bare metal, and sometimes on a vm / cloud. I should learn more about PXE and netbooting. :)

    From what I can tell, none of the newer options offer < 100MB image/.iso file packages. Further: a lively discussion on this topic can be found here: discourse.ubuntu.com/t/netbooting-the-live-server-installer/…
