== Step 1: Prepare the Ubuntu Server ISO ==

Before creating the virtual machine, you need to place the Ubuntu Server ISO file in the correct directory and set the proper permissions.

<ol style="list-style-type: decimal;">
<li><p>Place the ISO file you used to create your installable Ubuntu USB onto your server. You can do this by attaching a disk to it, using SSH FTP and a program like filezilla to transfer it over. Or, if you’re an animal, you can download it again by going to ubuntu.com and downloading the LTS version of Ubuntu server again.</p></li>
<li><p>Move the ISO file to <code>/var/lib/libvirt/images/</code>, obviously changing the source location &amp; filename to whatever yours is. As long as the file ends up in <code>/var/lib/libvirt/images/</code> we’re good:</p>
<pre>sudo mv ~/Downloads/ubuntu-server.iso /var/lib/libvirt/images/</pre></li>
<li><p>Change the ownership and group of the ISO file:</p>
<pre>sudo chown libvirt-qemu:libvirt /var/lib/libvirt/images/ubuntu-server.iso</pre></li>
<li><p>Set the correct permissions:</p>
<pre>sudo chmod 0640 /var/lib/libvirt/images/ubuntu-server.iso</pre></li>
<li><p>To apply these settings to all ISO files in the directory:</p>
<pre>sudo chown libvirt-qemu:libvirt /var/lib/libvirt/images/*.iso
sudo chmod 0640 /var/lib/libvirt/images/*.iso</pre></li></ol>

<blockquote>'''Note''': These settings make sure that the <code>libvirt-qemu</code> user, which runs the QEMU processes, can read and write the file, while members of the <code>libvirt</code> group can read it. Other users will have no access, so <code>virsh</code> &amp; related tools can access the ISO files but others can’t.
