I install Ubuntu frequently on new systems and always I have to install certain but the same packages, so I've searched this and seems like I can use Cubic for this exact problem.

So I followed the instructions here and in the chroot I installed apache2 (and also made sure it was installed correctly), then I proceed to create the modified ISO. Also in the part which suggests "removing" packages for either typical or minimal mode, I didn't check the apache2 package, so it was there unchecked and my expectation was that it should be pre-installed in my new Ubuntu ISO image, but after installing the new ISO, the apache2 isn't there. Any ideas which step I may be taking wrong? or even maybe I have a misunderstanding of the purpose of the Cubic?

Almost the same instructions are also in this SO answer and nothing in it seems different to me compared to what I've done.

My problem was fixed the second time I tried. Dumb mistake I possibly made:

  • Not installing the packages correctly in the chroot step. E.g.: if you use APT, you can confirm that the package you installed is actually in the list of installed packages using apt list | grep <package-name>.

  • One other really silly mistake is using the main ISO instead of the customized one! So make sure you're using the generated ISO by the Cubic and not the main one.
