- auto_install_ubuntu_iso.md: Ubuntu 26.04.1 ISO, file names and volume label, use the repo's sample server folder, a password sed that works with the $6$ hash characters. - user-data: nest every key under autoinstall, add the #cloud-config header, locale en_US.UTF-8, and drop the git-core PPA. - hosting_files_on_webserver.md: mgmt has no Docker; serve the files with busybox httpd bound to 172.22.0.1, which supports the range requests the BMC virtual media needs. - idrac_os_installation_steps_network.md and install_os.yml: ubuntu-26.04-autoinstall.iso.
