alt Hacker NewsCongrats on launching something (more than most of us will ever manage), but I am struggling to see why I would use this over something with more backing. There are a number of similar projects that have a very similar goal, but have the support of a large community and/or commercial sponsor:
- Flatcar Container Linux: An open-source, immutable OS designed for automatic updates and large-scale container deployments.
- Fedora CoreOS: A, secure, automatically updating operating system designed for running containerized applications, succeeding the original CoreOS.
- Talos Linux: A modern, immutable, security-focused OS dedicated entirely to Kubernetes.
- IncusOS: an immutable OS solely designed around safely and reliably running Incus.
I think you need to more clearly explain how this is different. Again, congrats on the launch though.
I use IncusOS in my homelab. It's a joy to set up and use.
Migrated from Proxmox and manage all my VMs. Heavily use coding assistants to automatically set things up through the IncusOS CLI, translate Docker-Compose images to Incus, write bash scripts to automate launching new containers to use `--dangerously-skip-permissions` without fear of repercussions, etc.
What I love the most about it is that it's possible to manage IncusOS with declarative files, so you always have visibility into networking setups, resource configuration, etc.
Highly recommend checking IncusOS out if you have similar use cases!
