How to use IncusOS "debug" application?

IncusOS
1

I have installed the “debug” application in IncusOS according to the documentation:

incus admin os application add -d '{"name":"debug"}'

Could anyone provide a hint how to use it? E.g., how to run htop?

As far as I understand, this application is separate from incus admin os debug or incus admin os application debug subcommands.

EDIT: bad info’s will see howto run htop.

I tested and it does not work:

% incus admin os application add -d '{"name":"htop"}'              
WARNING: The IncusOS API and configuration is subject to change

Error: unknown application

As I understand, the IncusOS application is called debug and htop is one of the packages installed by this application. Beisdes, the add command just adds an application, it does not execute it.

The documentation says:

tools that can be useful for developers working on debugging issues in an IncusOS system

Does it mean that it is not meant to be used by IncusOS admins?

I’ve deleted the BAD info i’ve given to not confuse you any more… I have to test it out, no way to test it atm.

Installing the debug application doesn’t expose anything new on the API.

It’s primarily meant for the developers working on IncusOS itself so we can load that additional software to be run from a development shell like what you can get when running IncusOS on top of Incus.
