If you have a specific goal, but are already familiar with Ubuntu Core, our How-to guides have more in-depth detail than our tutorials and can be applied to a broader set of applications. They’ll help you achieve an end result but may require you to understand and adapt the steps to fit your specific requirements.
| How-to-guides | Get stuff done |
|---|---|
| Activate a recovery mode | Repair, restore or reinstall an impaired device |
| Add a system user | Write a USB-based assertion to create a user |
| Build a gadget snap | Create a version of Ubuntu Core for your device |
Alternatively, our tutorials section contain step-by-step tutorials to help outline what Ubuntu Core is capable of while helping you achieve specific aims, such as installing Ubuntu Core or building a custom image for your device.
Take a look at our Reference section when you need to know which options can be used, what functions the API supports, which rescue modes are supported and the contents of gadget.yaml.
Finally, for a better understanding of how Ubuntu Core works and how it can be used and configured, our Explanation section helps you to expand your knowledge and become better at Ubuntu Core.
