Did you guys hear LXD got forked late last year and most of the main LXD devs are now developing incus instead?
Are there any plans to add incus support to cloudmin?
Thanks
Not at this time. But, I didn’t know about Incus. We’re currently removing lxc from Cloudmin, so we can focus on making the KVM experience perfect. We bit off more than we could chew properly by adding so many virtualization types to Cloudmin in the past.
Does libvirt support Incus? We don’t currently use libvirt (Cloudmin predates it, I think, or at the very least Cloudmin was in development before libvirt was widespread and stable), but if new stuff were to come into Cloudmin it would have to be via a stable abstraction layer that we don’t have to maintain.

I’m not sure about libvirt for the container layer of incus, which is the main bit I’m interested in but I think that might be the case for the VM part which uses qemu?
Canonical have created a GUI for LXD called lxd-ui so you can probably find out what you need to know by having a look at their code. I suspect they won’t be adding incus support to lxd-ui but it could probably be added with a clever sed command
