What is Incus?

What can this work with? It says „Containers and VMs“ - I guess that’s LXCs and QEMU VMs?
nrabulinski•3h ago
Yes, it uses QEMU under the hood for VMs and runs LXC containers. But also, since recently, you can run docker images in it. Very handy, especially since it has 1st class remote support, meaning you can install only the incus client and when doing `incus launch` or whatever, it will transparently start the container/vm on your remote host

So it looks like a Proxmox alternative, this [0] goes into some reasons to switch. Main selling point seems to be fully OSS and no enterprise version.

How do you handle updating the machine that Incus itself runs on? I imagine you have to be super careful not to introduce any breakage, because then all the VMs/containers go down.

What about kernel updates that require reboots? I have heard of ksplice/kexec, but I have never seen them used anywhere.

As with any such system, you need a spare box. Upgrade the spare, move the clients to it, upgrade the original.

A little bit of context about where Incus came from:

Not to be confused with the cirrus7 incus[0], which are fanless PC models based on the ASRock DeskMini series that I'm using right now.
