Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up?
irmadlad@lemmy.world 1 week agoI hear about Incus being the next best thing. I’ve never played around with it. Is it all that and a bag o’ chips?
I think so.
It is LXD + KVM, so way more and finer tune control on lxc instances. It can run OCI images as well, so for docker instances with only a few configs and no persistent storage, it is actually quite handy. For docker instances that need pretty complicated compose files, I just run docker inside an lxc for now, until I figure that out.
Does Incus allow you to use a VM with a GUI? One thing that’s nice about Proxmox is I have one VM with a very basic lxqt setup for when I need that, and I can either use remote-viewer + the spice protocol to access it or access it through the Proxmox web ui. That’s been very handy.
It can manage KVM, so I don’t see why not .

Side question, but where are you hearing this about incus?
I’m wrapping up 9 years of using proxmox and I have very specific reasons for switching to incus, but I this is the third time I’m fielding questions in the last month about incus.

I read a lot. LOL I might not understand it all, but I read TBs of articles and stuff.
