WHOAAA 👀 fancy! 🤩

has a shmancy web-UI!

👉 sudo snap refresh lxd --edge

It's "bleeding" --edge, all tight! 😅
I had to create the 1st instance via cli.

I'm trying to figure out whether i can run and within the non-upgradable 2GB RAM envelope of that wee thin client.

The containers aren't fully installed, yet. But they're running at ~500MB of RAM.

was a dead end - uses 1.5GB without running a single container!

2 lxc containers running, htop shows about 500MB RAM usage

Switch from LXD to Incus worked flawlessly! 🥳

I have it running on one of my servers, now. Let's see when I will be ready to take the risk of switching the other, more important servers :D

First impression of Incus: Awesome. I didn't expect the migration to be so easy.

(esp. since I was running lxd as snap package and Incus as a native Debian package!)

And so it begins... Canonical just merged a pull request into including 3 of my changes from with me clearly listed as the author despite me having specifically declined to sign the CLA that's supposedly required for all contributions to their project...

My preferred containerization solution when I'm not using FreeBSD: LXC/LXD on Alpine Linux.
Back in 2020, I documented the (easy) installation and usage procedure of LXC on Alpine Linux in their wiki: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/LXD

going to lose access to its image server: https://lore.kernel.org/all/a0db38ec-347d-4b26-97a2-e77d679f05fe@gentoo.org/

"'"[…] Canonical re-licensed LXD […] Because LinuxContainers community can't lean on to LXD, they've decided not to build and publish LXD images anymore. Non-LTS LXD will gradually start losing access to these images immediately in 2024, while LTS LXD is allowed until ~April-May of 2024 to have a fair chance migrating into LTS, which is expected to be out in April 2024.

An unfortunate development in the / story. I do hope this friction can be smoothed out so users and developers of both projects are unaffected.

Great news for anyone who wants to do enablement for their packages/software!

Launchpad - after fixing some bugs in and OpenStack's Nova - now has generally available riscv64 builders that you can use for both PPAs and snap remote builds. Here the full blog post! https://blog.launchpad.net/ppa/self-service-riscv64-builds

Now it's time to start enabling all the snaps I use on the daily to run on RISC-V! No more suffering with my underpowered riscv64 emulators 😅

Just migrated my last cluster over to !
This was the scariest one as that's the production cluster running my BGP routers and all the Linux Containers infrastructure, but lxd-to-incus took care of it and 20min later everything was back online!

As approaches its 20th anniversary, some more of its pieces may be Snapping together It uses its own containervisor to manage nodes and workloads, for distributed storage, for local storage, and to virtualize the cluster interconnect. All the tools are packaged as snaps. It supports both x86-64 and Arm64 nodes, including , and you can mix architectures! https://www.theregister.com/2023/11/16/canonical_microcloud/

Incus seems to be the new LXD. There is no urgent need to migrate right now. A stable release has not been published, yet.

Today I destroyed my first LXD server, which had been my sandbox for so many projects for more than 10 years...

Don't know, somehow it felt sad. 😅

I struggled to pick to create the new networks. Not because of the bullshit they be pushing but, I needed to create a 3 new and this would be the only time.. I hope I'll be doing this . I coded!

In good news because I spent so much time on the . Moving my instances from one network to another was a breeze! what happen underneath didn't even register!

LXD: Containers for Human Beings
https://secluded.site/lxd-containers-for-human-beings/

This is a blog post version of a talk I presented at both Ubuntu Summit 2022 and SouthEast LinuxFest 2023. I cover why one might want to use VMs, application containers, or system containers, I talk specifics about VM hypervisor types, how application and system containers work, and when I think it's appropriate to use each technology.

When a (VC backed) Open Source project demands from you, a community member, to sign a CLA (Contributory License Agreement) that forces you to give up your rights on your code - RUN. et all who unfortunately, really sorry, kudos, love you switch their licenses to proprietary whenever they feel like it.

tychosoft,

@jwildeboer indeed, this was the problem canonical ran projects under CLA's had posed, and still poses. Speaking of which, I see that there is a fork of and something similar should be done to projects worth saving.
