Other relevant data:

I have the following in my user-data file (yml), which works fine, but in the logs I can see that Subiquity performs updates from ubuntu servers…

Dec 15 16:20:13 ubuntu subiquity_log.4007[6324]: Get:30 Index of /ubuntu noble/universe amd64 Packages [15.0 MB]

My local repo also appears in the logs, but I wish that Subiquity does not contact http://archive.ubuntu.com and everything were done from my local repo.

I PXE load and use the ISO.
