debootstrap can download the needed files directly from the archive when you run it. You can substitute any Ubuntu archive mirror for ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports in the command example below, preferably a mirror close to you network-wise. Mirrors are listed at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive.
If you have an Ubuntu bionic CD mounted at /cdrom, you could substitute a file URL instead of the http URL: file:/cdrom/ubuntu/
Substitute one of the following for ARCH in the debootstrap command: amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el, or s390x.
2. These include the GNU core utilities and commands like sed, grep, tar and gzip.
# /usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch ARCH bionic /mnt/ubuntu
