Default editor?

IncusOS
1

Sorry for the dumb question

I finally managed to run IncusOS (version=202512131701) as virtual machine inside Incus.

To test the new toy I launched successfully an image then i tried to edit its config file

incus exec -- IncusOS bash
bash-5.2# incus config edit a1
Error: No text editor found, please set the EDITOR environment variable

Which is the default editor?

Cheers

There is no editor. As IncusOS has no local shell or SSH support, all interactions with it must be done over the API, so in this case, you’d use incus remote add on your host to add the IncusOS server, then use it as a remote, which will then use your local text editor.

Using incus exec against IncusOS is only there for development/debugging and isn’t part of normal use of IncusOS (and will be removed soon).
