An update in my adventures of being a sysadmin at home.

Automating Ubuntu 18.04 Installs and possibly older and newer versions

So I made a music server out of an old computer and added 2 additional dvd drives to the one it had already and a sizeable spare hard drive to run the OS and store the music. I used a program called “abcde” to rip CDs to FLAC, OGG, and MP3 complete with metadata and cover art. :) I even found a way to launch the ripping process after inserting a CD.

Over the past 8 months or so, I’ve been playing with my Dell R710. It’s a nice system to play on but it could use some SSDs. One day I shall get some. My last post described a bit about it as it currently stands. This post shall be about what I’ve done as far as creating automated system installs for both Windows and Linux. Windows Deployment Systems (WDS) + Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) I know some people might frown on the idea but my deployment system resides within my primary Windows Server 2016 Lab VM also running AD and TCP/IP Routing to a isolated virtual network of things.

An update on my lab server.
