How can I have all packages come with Ubuntu on a chroot?
Unfortunately, when I use debootstrap to install a chrooted ubuntu only a set of minimal packages gets installed. What should I do if I want to install all packages that come with Ubuntu?
The reason I am looking to do that is I want to have the a test platform which is as almost exactly as it can be as an Ubuntu.

Outside thechrootjail,dpkg --get-selectionswill list installed packages. Inside thechrootjaildpkg --set-selections;will mark them for installations. Or read about themakejailcommand, orschroot.

You can use a nice hack to do that.
1) First, download runc.
2) Download and extract a small root filesystem, so you can run commands inside it.
# Run all the following as root.
# Change this to your desire.
BUILD_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
CHROOT_DIR=$BUILD_DIR/root
mkdir -p $CHROOT_DIR
wget -O base.tar.gz http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-base/releases/18.04/release/ubuntu-base-18.04.1-base-amd64.tar.gz
tar xf base.tar.gz -C $CHROOT_DIR
3) Use runc to install the packages.
chmod +x runc
runc $CHROOT_DIR apt-get install ubuntu-minimal
You can use runc to run a shell in the chroot directory like: runc $CHROOT_DIR sh.
