#Incus impressed me as a #Proxmox alternative, but #IncusOS? That’s the next evolution!

IncusOS comes with all the missing things like ARM64 (aarch64) support, boot safety, full disk encryption, immutable images (read-only and signed) and fully locked down to operate in API only mode.

For me, it’s a mix of #Talos, #Harvester and Proxmox where it merges the best features of all ones!

@gyptazy I've been a Linux containers user for a long time now. I was originally using LXD and switched to Incus as soon as it was stable. The evolution of Incus has been amazing. Watching the development of IncusOS for the last year has been incredible. Stéphane Graber is a machine.
@[email protected] he’s indeed doing a great job! First, I thought Incus coming to an already fulfilled place without any need for. But the progress is quick, the direction right and features great. It exactly hits where most solutions lack right now:
- ARM64 Upport
- Full disk encryption
- Secure boot / TPM 2
- Immutable images

For me, Incus is a great mix of the best things from Harvester, Talos and Proxmox. And it’s still easy to use :)
@gyptazy the CLI is amazing especially since he rapidly fixed all the quirks of the LXD one.
@[email protected] I'm more and more in love with Incus. I really love to see what has been crafted there and it's a perfect eco systems, fitting all my needs. Even saying this, I'm not sure if I want to adapt to this - it's hard to say if this is the right choice for long-term or better sticking to "mainstream" solutions based on K8s like Harvester. Or building own solutions with kubevirt in Talos... At least for small sized systems with less than 64G mem it's definitely my number one choice now :)
