LXD 6.7 adds AMD GPU CDI support and enhances VM GPU passthrough with updated QEMU and EDK2 versions, improving virtualization performance.

So I saw a blog post linked on here the other week about someone's homelab where they use #Incus to run all their containers and VMs. And I've fallen into the rabbit hole.

That post: https://linderud.dev/blog/personal-infrastructure-setup-2026/

Anyway, Incus is the fork/successor to #LXD which as recently as last year they released #IncusOS which is a very slimmed down OS for running multiple types of containers and VMs. A bit like #Proxmox in a sense.

What I like about the distro:
- Immutable
- A-side/B-side partition layout for friendlier updates
- Requires Secure Boot + TPM, resulting in encrypted drives by default
- ZFS. I've loved ZFS for many years.

It really seems like this was built for edge type deployments where secure "appliance" like things really excel yet still a net benefit elsewhere.

Since vSphere was killed, this feels pretty damn close to what I liked about it.

Can already run VMs along side "System Containers" (shared kernel + init system) and "App Containers" (what everyone calls "Docker"). I see on the roadmap support for MicroVMs (OCI container + individual kernel).

I run all of my stuff bar storage on #k3s on baremetal but there's times when I need a VM or different container behaviour than it offers.

Personal infrastructure setup 2026

While starting this post I realized I have been maintaining personal infrastructure for over a decade! Most of the things I’ve self-hosted is been for personal uses. Email server, a blog, an IRC server, image hosting, RSS reader and so on. All of these things has all been a bit all over the place and never properly streamlined. Some has been in containers, some has just been flat files with a nginx service in front and some has been a random installed Debian package from somewhere I just forgot.

I think a lot of the cloud providers get lost in well... the cloud. 😅

You can do what #flyio #sprites does with #lxd/#incus system containers. It has all the ec2 magic there as well.

App containers help packaging software. But inhibit developing the software itself.

I tried using #Incus because that problem related to #LXD, but now I'm using LXD for a couple reasons, like I can get a fresh version of LXD over snap, which I can't do with Incus, so I need to use the LTS version available on Ubuntu, the network in the container just works with LXD, and Incus I can't get network in the container, just in the VM, and I can get daily versions from Ubuntu with LXD but not with Incus.
