The Linux Containers team is very excited to announce the general
availability of IncusOS!
IncusOS is an immutable OS image designed from the ground up to run
Incus. It's designed for the modern world, actively relying on
both UEFI Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 for boot security and for full disk
encryption.
It's a very locked down environment, both for security and for general
reliability. There is no local or remote shell, everything must be done
through the (authenticated) Incus API.
Under the hood, it's built on a minimal Debian 13 base, using the Zabbly
builds of both the Linux kernel, ZFS and Incus, providing the latest
stable versions of all of those.
We rely a lot on the systemd tooling to handle image builds (mkosi),
application installation (sysext), system updates (sysupdate) and a
variety of other things from network configuration to partitioning.
You'll find a demo video, longer project description, link to all
relevant resources and some of our roadmap all in the release
announcement.
