Incus 6.16 Container & Virtual Machine Manager Released

posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Aug 31, 2025

Quoting: Incus 6.16 Container & Virtual Machine Manager Released —

The Incus team has just announced the release of version 6.16 of its container & virtual machine manager, a community-driven fork of LXD, created after Canonical changed LXD’s governance and moved it under its umbrella.

The headline feature is the added support for TrueNAS as a new storage driver. Instead of managing ZFS volumes locally, Incus can now talk to the TrueNAS API, with iSCSI handling the volume export and connection back to the Incus host.

That means administrators can build out remote storage pools backed by TrueNAS and even use them across clusters, making live instance migration smoother since the actual data doesn’t need to move. One caveat, though—the feature depends on a pre-release version of TrueNAS Scale.
