    Need to make distributable headless server iso

    Hello,

    I've built a headless server based out of the Ubuntu minimal server edition 14.04 and added things like web based medical apps, magento, and scripts to integrate.

    I want to now make this distributable.

    Not sure how I can go about doing this.
    I've been looking at remastersys and the likes,but they all seem to be working around GUI while my server is a headless machine.

    Is there a way to make remasterys (or any alternative) work around this?

    Thanks in anticipation.

    Please describe the partitioning of the server system, post the output of the following commands

    Code:
    sudo parted -l
    df -h
    and I can tell, if there is some simple method for you.

    Re: Need to make distributable headless server iso

    You have a simple system with [only] a root partition /dev/sda1 and a swap partition /dev/sd5

    Then you can use the One Button Installer to make a tarball of your installed headless server. After that you can use the One Button Installer to install copies of the headless server into other computers.

    See these links

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OBI

    This is a link to a detailed description how to make your own tarball
