# ubuntu-minimal

The `ubuntu-minimal` element uses debootstrap for generating a minimal image. In contrast the `ubuntu` element uses the cloud-image as the initial base.

By default this element creates the latest LTS release. The exact setting can be found in the element’s `environment.d` directory in the variable `DIB_RELEASE`. If a different release of Ubuntu should be created, the variable `DIB_RELEASE` can be set appropriately.

Note that this element installs `systemd-sysv` as the init system for 18.04+.
