Are there ready-made Linux builds for the TOR node?

Given:
- a dead computer on Atom, which wants to become a tor-relay (node);
- relatively direct hands and familiarity with Ubuntu.
It is necessary:
​​- to make a machine in the style of "set it and forget it", which will stand in the closet and work as a node.
I’m familiar with Ubuntu enough to roll the axis (I prefer Runtu) in graphical mode, install the necessary packages, configure configs, etc. But here the situation is different: you need to remove the gluttonous GUI, leaving only the necessary (the axis and Tor itself). To install a computer, set it up once and then sometimes look at it via SSH.
Theoretically, it is probably possible to install a bare version without X and then finish it, but my knowledge does not extend that far.
So I ask the question: I'm probably not the first with such a problem. Maybe somewhere there are ready-made OS builds (without gui, but with Thor), which I installed on the computer, corrected torrc and it immediately works as a node?

Building ubuntu without gui is called ubuntu server and is taken from the official site.
It is installed, for example, from a flash drive using a monitor / TV set in a "pseudo" graphical mode (next next next finish) The
tor node is placed in a couple of commands
.
Under the conditions of a normal (fast and non-lag) flash drive-installer , a normally working processor and hdd on the machine, all this is done in 15-30 minutes.
