I am looking out for a tool which will help to create an iso from installed linux virtual machine where it will also include home folder and can help to create bootable iso.

I have searched on web a lot and many tools do not support like customizer, systembackup, respin, clonezilla etc. I have installed pinguybuilder but with several options though it created iso but it after installation of iso it could not install bootloader.

Is there any tool available on Ubuntu 18.4/20.4/22.4 to create bootable iso of installed linux.

    The creator of Makulu Linux (Jacque Montague Rayner) blogged about the tool he used when he switched to Makulu Linux from Debian to Ubuntu, and how he created the Makulu ISOs. He was publishing the script he used; which created the ISO from a system he used/modified for releasing, and its one place I may look (or others that have done it as there are many!). – guiverc Jan 20 '23 at 07:11

    Creating it from a end-user system will not be the same as a Ubuntu ISO in that there are variations of what gets installed; eg. I can install the same Lubuntu ISO (on thumb-drive) on two different boxes (one BIOS, one uEFI) and the install isn't identical; as the boot process will differ between those boxes that the installer adjusts for the box (I'm using Lubuntu as example only; but an installed system isn't the same as a pre-installed live Ubuntu ISO). – guiverc Jan 20 '23 at 07:11
  • Not sure how to do it with an Iso file but it is possible to do what you want using .img files and .vdi files. see: https://askubuntu.com/a/1300542/43926 – C.S.Cameron Jan 20 '23 at 07:12
