Linux Containers - IncusOS - Introduction
linuxcontainers.org
The umbrella project behind Incus, LXC, LXCFS, Distrobuilder and more.

I discovered Incus and IncusOS recently, and they seem like a very cool foundation for a self-hosted setup.

I’m thinking of using them with incus-compose to declare my setup.

Does anybody use them? I’d love to get some feedback. Are they stable and polished yet, or are there still a lot of sharp edges?

They mention “designed for modern systems” on their website. Are there any issues running it on a roughly 10-year-old laptop?

    Sounds neat but I would be worried about the no shell stuff, I run my things headless for the most part and like SSH and occasionally VNC access.

      Talking about incus. Don’t know incusos.

      It has a CLI (console) which can be used to connect to VMs and containers among many other things. The incus web UI has a shell and remote desktop function. And of course you are allowed to ssh into the VMs directly too.

      Incus is designed to be a Hypervisor (e.g. like Proxmox / VMware). So it is fully intended to not be able to fuck around on the host system as you are supposed to create VMs and containers in which you can do that.
