With a few modifications, I was able to get the ubuntu-preconfig.sh script from 45Drives repo to work/not fail on a clean install of Ubuntu 22.04. Sharing below in case anyone finds this useful.
A few caveats should you proceed at your own risk:
- If your already have a working 45Drives Houston/Cockpit install on 45Drives hardware, backup files
/etc/45drives/server_info/server_info.json,/etc/vdev_id.conf,/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/68-vdev.rules, and/usr/lib/udev/vdev_id_45drivesbefore doing anything! You will need to put these files back after installing Ubuntu either before the script or after. First timers will need to rundaliasafter the script to create the files initially. - Script uses focal stable repository which has worked well for me. Donāt enable test as that breaks cockpit login.
- Script assumes standard installation. If you do a minimal install of Ubuntu then script will fail disablng UFW. Easiest fix is to install ufw via apt before running.
- Install Ubuntu and run the script using the standard kernel (5.15). ZFS will have some issues if you start with the HWE kernel. Installing
linux-generic-hwe-22.04after the script still throws an error but proceeds and seems to work just fine.

Ubuntu 22.04 Preconfiguration Script.
This will set up the root login password, enable root login over SSH,
add the 45Drives apt repository, replace systemd-networkd with NetworkManager,
remove cloud-init and snapd, and add the Houston Management UI.
This script should *not* be run in an SSH session, as the network will be
modified and you may be disconnected. Run this script from the console or IPMI
remote console.
