IncusOS is an immutable OS image dedicated to running Incus. It's based on Debian 13 and built using mkosi.
IncusOS can be installed on modern amd64 (x86_64) and arm64 systems.
This aims at providing a very fast, safe and reliable way to run an Incus server. It's got a strong focus on security, actively relying on UEFI Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 for boot security and disk encryption.
You can read more about how to get started with IncusOS here including detailed instructions for physical installation or for running IncusOS on a variety of virtual machine platforms.
The full documentation for IncusOS can be found here.
This repository includes all the sources used to build the production IncusOS images.
Builds are triggered by pushing a new tag to this repository which kicks
in a full image build, that then gets downloaded and validated by our
publishing server. The image is then made available in the testing
channel until it's manually validated and promoted to the stable
channel.
The most recent image build logs can be found here: https://github.com/lxc/incus-os/actions/workflows/build.yml
With the resulting images being published to: https://images.linuxcontainers.org/os/
A daily test is also run, exercising most of the API endpoints and running tests that would be impractical (too slow) to run for every pull request.
