Incus 0.1 Released As Linux Containers' Fork Of LXD

Written by Michael Larabel in Virtualization on 8 October 2023 at 12:31 PM EDT. 23 Comments

Back in August Linux Containers forked the LXD project as Incus following Canonical's decision to take in control of LXD. Released this weekend was the first formal release for the Incus software.

Incus 0.1 debuted on Saturday as the community fork of the LXD project. Incus 0.1 is roughly equivalent to the LXD 5.18 release with various changes on top. Besides renaming the project, Incus drops a number of unused or problematic features from the LXD codebase. Moving forward, Incus will focus on backwards compatibility. There are also various changes such as replacing /dev/lxd with /dev/incus.
