How to install Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS? Hosted installer only offers 25.10/26.04, no livefs builds published

[davinyiringabo]

What I'm trying to do

Install Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS on an Apple M1 Pro (MacBook Pro) to use as a
headless, always-on CI runner. I specifically need 24.04 LTS for compatibility with our
build pipelines.

The problem

I can't find a supported way to get 24.04:

1. The hosted installer (https://ubuntuasahi.org/install) is interactive but now
   only offers Ubuntu Desktop/Server 26.04 and 25.10 — 24.04 is no longer in the menu.
2. The README's "Build from launchpad" path needs a livefs BUILD_ID, but
   https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-asahi/+livefs shows "There are no live filesystems
   for Ubuntu Asahi" — so there's no BUILD_ID to pass to build.sh.
3. The Noble PPA (~ubuntu-asahi/ubuntu, series=noble) does still publish the 24.04
   pieces (linux-apple-arm, m1n1, u-boot-asahi, asahi-scripts,
   livecd-rootfs 24.04.79.0asahi6, etc.), but those are packages, not an installable image.

Question

Is there a supported way to install Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Server on Apple Silicon today?

• Is there a prebuilt 24.04 installer image hosted somewhere I can point the Asahi installer at?
• If I need to build it myself, where do I get a valid livefs build now that +livefs is empty —
  or is there a recommended recipe/command to produce a 24.04 Asahi-installer zip from the Noble PPA?

Environment

• Hardware: Apple M1 Pro (MacBook Pro)
• Currently installed: Ubuntu 26.04 (via the hosted installer), working
• Goal: replace/downgrade to 24.04 LTS Server

I just found out that after asahi fedora remix there is and ubuntu one (thx for the conversion) I to would like the option of 24.04 LTS (as it still is supported by ubuntu). I have software that only is supported till 24.04 atm so if that option could come back that would be awesome.
