Not _technically_ a hypervisor since these are Linux (system) containers and use the same cgroup magic under the hood as docker/containerd.
But this is definitely neat. I've found Incus quite handy for development environments, and a good compliment to docker.
- k_bx 11mo agoIncus supports both qemu and lxc
- kosinus 11mo agoYou can also start QEMU/KVM powered VMs with Incus, I assume that's also possible with IncusOS?
- virtuous_sloth 11mo agoYes. And most importantly, the Incus API and CLI client (which uses the API) presents a consistent management language for system containers (the default ones with a init/systemd-controlled userspace), OCI containers (unpacked, not layered), and VMs. Well, as consistent as makes sense for each. There are a number of options/properties that are specific to each, but it feels very consistent. The Incus server inside IncusOS is the same software. The difference is as little userspace as possible alongside it (not even busybox).
- udev4096 11mo agoIt's a lot more than that. Clustering, storage drivers, networking, etc makes up a whole virtual machine manager. It never says it's a hypervisor, it's a VMM as outlined on it's github: "Powerful system container and virtual machine manager"
