Announcing Incus 0.5
Incus 0.5 is now out as the first release of 2024!
This is the first release featuring no imported changes from the LXD project, following Canonical’s decision to re-license LXD and add in a CLA. You’ll find details about that in one of my previous posts.
Overall, it’s a pretty busy release with a good mix of CLI improvements, new features for VM users, more flexibility around cluster evacuations and host shutdowns and a few more API improvements.
A variety of 3rd party tools have also been getting Incus support since the previous release, including, Ansible, Terraform/OpenTofu and Packer.
Also of note, we now have native distribution packages for Arch Linux, Debian, Gentoo, NixOS, Ubuntu and Void Linux. With ongoing work on a native Fedora package (COPR repo available until then).
We’ve updated our installation instructions to cover all of those!
