Incus builds

Incus package builds provided by Zabbly.

There are three repositories available:

• lts-6.0 (Incus 6.0.x LTS)
• stable (latest release of Incus)
• daily (untested daily builds)

Availability

Those packages are built for:

• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal)
• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (jammy)
• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (noble)
• Debian 11 (bullseye) (amd64 only)
• Debian 12 (bookworm)

Unless otherwise mentioned, packages are built for both amd64 (Intel/AMD 64bit) and arm64 (Arm 64bit).

NOTE: It is often possible to use those packages on other non-LTS Ubuntu releases by picking the closest LTS release prior to the Ubuntu version being run.

Installation

All commands should be run as root.

Repository key

Packages provided by the repository are signed. In order to verify the integrity of the packages, you need to import the public key. First, verify that the fingerprint of key.asc matches 4EFC 5906 96CB 15B8 7C73 A3AD 82CC 8797 C838 DCFD:

curl -fsSL https://pkgs.zabbly.com/key.asc | gpg --show-keys --fingerprint

or if your system has wget instead of curl use

wget -q -O - https://pkgs.zabbly.com/key.asc | gpg --show-keys --fingerprint

You should get a return that is:

pub   rsa3072 2023-08-23 [SC] [expires: 2025-08-22]
      4EFC 5906 96CB 15B8 7C73  A3AD 82CC 8797 C838 DCFD
uid                      Zabbly Kernel Builds <[email protected]>
sub   rsa3072 2023-08-23 [E] [expires: 2025-08-22]

If so, make sure the directory /etc/apt/keyrings exists:

mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings/

and save the key locally with either curl:

curl -fsSL https://pkgs.zabbly.com/key.asc -o /etc/apt/keyrings/zabbly.asc

or wget:

wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/zabbly.asc https://pkgs.zabbly.com/key.asc

Installing Incus

Update your repository list with:

apt-get update

Then to install Incus, run:

apt-get install incus

Other packages

The repository also includes the following packages:

• incus-client, a package containing only the CLI tool, useful when only managing remote servers
• incus-ui-canonical, a package containing a rebranded version of the LXD web interface for use with Incus

Setting up the UI

When using incus-ui-canonical, you will need to have Incus listen on the network. This is done either by enabling it during incus admin init or by setting a listener through incus config set.

For example:

incus config set core.https_address :8443

After that, you can access the UI through https://localhost:8443, accept the self-signed certificate and follow the login instructions.

As incus-ui-canonical is a re-branded version of the LXD UI, you can find useful information in their documentation.
