Whilst investigating performance improvements to my GeoServer installation I have been installing it quite a few times. To make things faster, I developed a script to automate most of the basic stuff I needed from a clean install of Ubuntu 20 Just in case it is of any use to others I post it here. It might not be the tidies scripting and I run it as root (I know thats not ideal and feel free to change it, but it is a local test server)
I always create a folder /data/ and usually run Apache as the front end to terminate SSL and provide authentication.
