How to provision a workstation with Autoinstall using Landscape and the Ubuntu installer

The Ubuntu installer (26.04 and later) can use Landscape to serve an autoinstall file. This is available on self-hosted and Landscape SaaS. On Landscape SaaS, your account must be hosted on a subdomain. Your Landscape administrator must have configured an OIDC login method. Your Landscape administrator must have set up your Landscape deployment for workstation provisioning. See How to set up your Landscape server to provision workstations with Autoinstall via the Ubuntu installer.

Note

This feature is available from Landscape server 25.10~beta.4 onwards.

This feature is available on self-hosted and select accounts on SaaS. It is not generally available to all SaaS accounts.

This feature is available as an experimental feature in the Ubuntu installer for 25.04 and later.

In the Ubuntu installer

  1. In the Ubuntu installer menu, select install with Landscape.

  2. Enter the URL of your Landscape deployment.

The installer will generate a 6 digit attach code for you. Save this for the next step.

In Landscape

  1. Navigate to https://<LANDSCAPE_SERVER_DOMAIN>/attach.

  2. Enter your 6 digit attach code. Landscape will confirm that the attach code is valid and prompt you to log in.

  3. Log in with your OIDC provider.

Back in the Ubuntu installer

After successful authentication, Landscape will serve an autoinstall file to the Ubuntu installer. You need to confirm this autoinstall file. The Ubuntu installer will use the autoinstall file to provision your device.
