#incusos — Public Fediverse posts

@ieugen IncusOS might want to use two disks, one for OS installation and one for data (VMs, containers and so forth). The best is to use ZFS mirrors ("RAID1") for important data.

I recently tried installing #IncusOS on my #projecttinyminimicro cluster, but my OS disks were too small so I just went with Debian stable + Incus on top of that. No ZFS for me on these nodes...

Kennt sich hier wer mit Incus aus? Ich versuche mich, da einzulesen und sehe Incus OS. Brauche ich das?

Ich habe einfach einen Rechner, auf den ich das installieren möchte.

Oder sollte ich ein Debian 13 installieren und darin Incus installieren?

#incus #incusOS

finally installed the tpm2.0 hardware, in preparation of #incusos (some other day)

#incus

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.

@ignisc @Foxboron and #IncusOS, it's just fantastic 🤩

Ce soir c'était poulet sauce moutarde miel et frites en finissant Divergente, expérimentation de docker/podman sur mon #homelab #incusos et Little Nightmare III. Un p'tit chapitre de la Roue du Temps 3, et ça aura été une bon début de #weekend 😃
Et vous, ça commence bien ?

Hello la Mastosphère ! (C'est comme ça qu'on dit?)
C'est l'heure de ma #présentation.

Formation informatique en génie logiciel, le partage est quelque chose d'important pour moi. Je suis dans un Linux User Group en Savoie, et j'ai créé ce compte par curiosité pour le #fediverse.

Un seul objectif ici : apprendre, et partager si je peux.

Ce que je découvre en ce moment : le Fediverse, la 2FA avec #yubikey, j'apprends l' #allemand, le #selfhosting avec #IncusOS et je veux essayer de changer de clavier et de disposition pour utiliser #ergol.

Pas très organisé, je fais tout en même temps en fonction de mon humeur 🙃

@dzwiedziu I currently plan to test out #IncusOS in addition to Proxmox (as my machines are too low-range for OpenStack...)

Found out about #incusos. Not going to lie, I'm interested. 😎 I don't like managing the base os for workloads. It's why many immutable os fascinate me.

Going to have to see if I want this over alternatives. 😅

Just because #IncusOS is out doesn't mean I'm going to be stopping the #Incus live streams! This week's will be about adding #Linstor support! https://youtube.com/live/jge4uL3zymo?feature=share

@stgraber Thanks Stéphane! And by the way thanks a lot for the brutally good documentation on incus and IncusOS. It is rare to find such a good and complete documentation. Especially in a relatively young project.
