I have to download a tarball to install Ubuntu into a Docker environment and can't find any tar.gz packages of Ubuntu 18.04 only .iso's. I cannot install a separate Docker provisioned Ubuntu container either. I need the actual tarball to install inside of a special directory of a development environment. Where can I find what I need?

It is unclear what you want. What are you expecting the traball should contain? – Pilot6 Apr 27 '20 at 14:57

the full os. everytime I go to the official Ubuntu site to download a desktop I get links for .iso package and I am not interested in installing it on a disk first - a straight tgz package is fine for this situation. Does the server install provide a tar.gz download? – fndtn357 Apr 27 '20 at 14:59

You must make such a tarball yourself. Ubuntu is distributed using debs and snaps, not tarballs. Perhaps chrooting will accomplish what you need? – user535733 Apr 27 '20 at 15:20

Does this answer your question? Where can I find the source code of Ubuntu? – dlin Apr 27 '20 at 15:30
