Ubuntu, the popular Linux distribution, launched the Ubuntu Appliance. Ubuntu Appliance is an IoT based project.
Basically an Ubuntu Appliance turns a computer into a specialized appliance for home or work. It is just a disk image for a PC or Raspberry Pi. Ubuntu Appliances have strong privacy policies and enduring security maintenance guarantees.
To create secure and smart appliances Ubuntu appliance is used.
The disk images are well suited for Raspberry Pi 3 and above versions.

The five appliances of the ubuntu are mentioned below:
- AdGuard ad blocking
- OpenHAB home automation
- PLEX media server
- Mosquitto MQTT server
