I'm using Incus 6.0.4 in Devuan 6 Excalibur, from Devuan repository.
First I used it from my Bash-wrappers, now I'm playing with Incus through OpenTofu 1.10.7 (installed via packages.opentofu.org).

The only issue I have currently: I see no memory limits inside a container (they should be visible in the "free" command through lxcfs, as I remember):

 $ incus config get --project k3s-experiment my-registry limits.memory 
400MiB

 $ incus exec --project k3s-experiment my-registry -- free -mw  
               total        used        free      shared     buffers       cache   available
Mem:           64183       12129       51186        9776          87       11174       52053
Swap:              0           0           0

Perhaps you?

The incus package in daedalus-backports doesn't include sysvinit scripts, so the service doesn't run.

I'm not sure where this should be reported.

Debian has no official Incus packages

I found some debian packages in daedalus-backports. But warning... by default it does try to pull in systemd-standalone-sysusers, and I would strongly urge you to pin this out so that it will not get installed. There is a non-systemd package called opensysusers which will install in its place if the systemd* packages are pinned from getting installed.

For example, this is my apt pin in /etc/apt/preferences.d/00nosystemd:

Package: *systemd* systemd-* systemd-standalone-sysusers
Pin: release *
Pin-Priority: -1

Make sure the daedalus-backports repo is active in sources.list.

I have not installed, nor do I know if these packages will work. I see that systemd is a "suggested" package, but not a dependency. Let us know how it goes. Thanks.

Edit: grammar and spelling.

Is anyone working on a Devuan package for Incus? Incus (https://linuxcontainers.org/incus) is a relatively recent fork of LXD (after Canonical pulled LXD from the linuxcontainers.org project and changed licensing). Debian has no official Incus packages, but Zabbly maintains Debian/Ubuntu builds (https://github.com/zabbly/incus). However Zabbly's Debian packages have systemd hooks in the package scripts that break things on Devuan. I'm such a newbie to Devuan devel that I can't glean any useful information from pkginfo.devuan.org about who, for instance, repackaged LXD* for Devuan and what they did -- apologies. The Incus fork is recent enough that it should be reasonable to just repeat the same changes from Debian that were needed for LXD. I'd be willing to take this on but would happily stand aside if someone else is already working on it. TIA!
