#incus — Public Fediverse posts

@violet
There are many opinions and combinations possible, of course. I prefer simple, community backed, and solid foss blocks that interoperate. That converged to:
* #debian for base OS
* data on encrypted #zfs
* #incus for VM and system containers management (formerly LXD)
* #ansible for automation, with the debops collection

Infrastructure for people, to solve our problems and at our scale, with all the tools under direct control of worker sysadmins

@jonny I installed #Forgejo in an #Incus container in about an hour, and by golly, so should you. (Slaps hood of $300 used Dell Optiplex 3060)

Incus 7.0 LTS:rilasciato il gestore di container e macchine virtuali con supporto a lungo termine
Incus è un sistema avanzato per la gestione di container (ambienti isolati che condividono il kernel del sistema operativo ma funzionano come piccoli sistemi indipendenti) e macchine virtuali (sistemi operativi completi eseguiti in modo isolato tramite un hypervisor)

#Incus 7.0 LTS is now out!
That's already the second Long Term Support release for the Incus project and it should be a great upgrade both for users of Incus 6.23 and those on 6.0.6 LTS!

I used to name my VM's when I launched them, last week I forgot to do it and I have been allowing incus to do the naming now.

JumpyVi is iterating on the Bluefin developer mode. #incus support is going to slay out on this one!

I have 78 containers and VMs running in #incus. 1 of those isn't picking up on the offered DHCP lease from kea. Only thing that changed is that I consolidated the cluster to run on fewer machines because our machine room HVAC is busted. Any ideas? #linux #devops

Kapsule: it shipped and nobody died

"In my last post , I laid out the vision for Kapsule—a container-based extensibility layer for KDE Linux built on top of Incus."

I really like what's happening here. This might be of good use for other distros as well.

Вместо 8 разных VPS: как я организовал практику студентам на одном сервере

Как дать студентам курса живой опыт деплоя, не заставляя их покупать собственные VPS и не плодя локальные виртуалки? Я решил эту задачу, «нарезав» один сервер на полностью изолированные рабочие пространства с помощью системы контейнеризации Incus . В этой статье — история одного занятия с пошаговым гайдом и разбором всех собранных граблей: почему Docker конфликтует с ZFS, куда пропадает интернет из-за IPv6 и как пробросить порты так, чтобы у каждого студента был свой кусочек сервера.

Zwischendurch migriere ich immer mal wieder einen meiner #LXC Container zu #Incus und es klappt derzeit ziemlich reibungslos. Die Hälfte ungefähr ist schon umgezogen.

Ich mag das ​:neocat_happy:​

Updated my #homelab to #k3s 1.35, deployed #vaultwarden, #pihole with #unbound and #forgejo with #woodpecker. All the web guis have #letsencryt certificates. Storage redundancy is achieved by #longhorn which maintains redundant copies of pvcs across the nodes. The nodes are vms controlled by #incus, so that I can shut down the whole k8s thingy with a simple incus stop command when I’m done playing.
k3s is really nice and easy to deploy and well documented, getting things to run in k8s though is mainly pasting yaml from the internet and hoping for the best.

Now that #incus 6.23 is out, it's time to get back to the weekly live streams and the ongoing work to add Ceph provisioning to IncusOS!

Wrapping up the week with an #Incus release!
Incus 6.23 is out as our last 6.x release before Incus 7.0 LTS next month! This release includes quite a few security fixes as well as exciting features including dependent volumes, FreeBSD support and more!

If you are looking for a relatively straightforward way of running HomeAssistantOS, and you have a Proxmox, LXC or Incus instance, then it might be worth checking out their OVA. It's not difficult to download the OVA and import into LXC/Incus as a VM. Fully supported by HA and by default you get root access to the VM via the instance console.

And in this week's #Incus OS livestream, I'll be continuing the Ceph deployment work, now looking at deploying the OSDs! https://youtube.com/live/8UqOPtj_Z24?feature=share

Just released #LXC, #LXCFS and #Incus 6.0.6 LTS as the latest LTS bugfix release for our projects!
https://stgraber.org/2026/03/16/lxc-lxcfs-incus-6-0-6-lts-release/

In this week's #Incus OS live stream, I'll be continuing the work from last week on getting Ceph deployed by IncusOS! https://youtube.com/live/C3dOFJ0UtaI?feature=share

Starting this week, I'll be using the #Incus OS live streams to work on our upcoming full cluster deployment logic (Ceph, OVN, Grafana, OpenFGA, HAProxy, ...). First up will be Ceph!

Wrapping up the week with a rather busy #Incus release! Incus 6.22 is now out with quite a lot of changes all over the place, from an improved Windows agent to a variety of storage, network and clustering features.

My mini homelab cluster using Uncloud on IncusOS and a DigitalOcean Droplet | Always Developing #258

With Uncloud it's super easy to set up a cluster of Docker nodes meshed together with WireGuard for running a bunch of services.

In this video I show how I've set up my tiny homelab to run Uncloud on top of Incus and IncusOS, plus a DigitalOcean Droplet for public access.

I also scale up the cluster.

So I saw a blog post linked on here the other week about someone's homelab where they use #Incus to run all their containers and VMs. And I've fallen into the rabbit hole.

That post: https://linderud.dev/blog/personal-infrastructure-setup-2026/

Anyway, Incus is the fork/successor to #LXD which as recently as last year they released #IncusOS which is a very slimmed down OS for running multiple types of containers and VMs. A bit like #Proxmox in a sense.

What I like about the distro:
- Immutable
- A-side/B-side partition layout for friendlier updates
- Requires Secure Boot + TPM, resulting in encrypted drives by default
- ZFS. I've loved ZFS for many years.

It really seems like this was built for edge type deployments where secure "appliance" like things really excel yet still a net benefit elsewhere.

Since vSphere was killed, this feels pretty damn close to what I liked about it.

Can already run VMs along side "System Containers" (shared kernel + init system) and "App Containers" (what everyone calls "Docker"). I see on the roadmap support for MicroVMs (OCI container + individual kernel).

I run all of my stuff bar storage on #k3s on baremetal but there's times when I need a VM or different container behaviour than it offers.

"LXD: The Uprising Begins"
Ich dachte wir wären alle zu Incus gewechselt…

Here is how I use a corporate sanctioned Windows managed laptop as a perfectly cromulent headless Linux server for sane (?🤔) development workflow, it is, of course, containers all the way down !

@moreentropy have you looked into https://linuxcontainers.org/incus-os/introduction/ #incus #incusos
with images from https://images.linuxcontainers.org/

I tried using #Incus because that problem related to #LXD, but now I'm using LXD for a couple reasons, like I can get a fresh version of LXD over snap, which I can't do with Incus, so I need to use the LTS version available on Ubuntu, the network in the container just works with LXD, and Incus I can't get network in the container, just in the VM, and I can get daily versions from Ubuntu with LXD but not with Incus.

I have been trying #linstor with #incus and more specifically with incus and it's oci images and it just sucks for that or I just haven't found the magical set of commands to make it all work. I'm trying to use the incus rebuild command to rebuild the oci images to update themand it just shits on itself. I'm sure it's one of those things that when you get right its the best thing or some shit. However, trying to figure that out with incus feels like a mission.. The integration also feels a bit crunchy around the edges. If you really hate ceph, then do HA higher in the stack!

#selfhosted #selfhosting

Holy shit i spent all day with #linstor in some weird state. Lots of learning with this damn platform and how it behaves with #incus
