If you've already spent the time learning SELinux, but have to deploy Ubuntu as a server operating system, you can install SELinux and be on familiar ground.

Ubuntu Server has its own Mandatory Access Control system, called AppArmor, which is similar to SELinux, in that they both provide tools to isolate applications from one another, to protect the host system.

That's why you might want to consider installing SELinux on Ubuntu Server.

Once finished, you can start working with SELinux on Ubuntu Server in the same way you did when administering your Red Hat-based systems.

Once you're certain it will work for you, I would recommend you install SELinux on a fresh install of Ubuntu Server and then build from there.

That's all there is to install SELinux on Ubuntu Server 20.04.
