Introduction

The Incus team is pleased to announce the release of Incus 6.23!

This release is going to be our last 6.x release before Incus 7.0 LTS which is due out on April 30th.

It’s also quite a busy release with a good mix of security issues (mostly thanks to an ongoing analysis by 7asecurity), bug fixes and performance improvements and then a very good selection of features from expanding our OS support for VMs to adding more flexible instance storage with dependent volumes!

Enjoy!

New maintainers

With this Incus release the Incus project is welcoming two new maintainers:

  • Benjamin Somers
  • Piotr Resztak

They are both long time contributors to Incus who have been involved with a variety of features and bugfixes throughout the Incus codebase and who are therefore well qualified to help with code reviews and general project direction and maintenance.

They’re joining the existing maintainers:

  • Aleksa Sarai
  • Christian Brauner
  • Free Ekanayaka
  • Serge Hallyn
  • Stéphane Graber
  • Tycho Andersen

Security fixes

This release fixes 6 security issues:

All of the above except for CVE-2026-33542 were found as part of an ongoing security review of Incus by 7asecurity.

Backports to our LTS branch are available in the stable-6.0 branch and the distributions shipping Incus LTS have been notified and have published or will very soon publish updated packages.

New features

Dependent storage volumes

Incus now supports “dependent” volumes. Those are effectively the same as a regular custom volume attached to an instance, except that it is fully tied to the instance.

This means that deleting the instance will also delete the volume, creating an instance snapshot will create a matching snapshot on the volume, instance backups will include and restore the dependent volumes and migrating the instance will take the dependent volumes along for the ride.

stgraber@castiana:~$ incus launch images:debian/13 c1
Launching c1
stgraber@castiana:~$ incus storage volume create default c1-extra dependent=true
Storage volume c1-extra created
stgraber@castiana:~$ incus config device add c1 extra disk pool=default source=c1-extra dependent=true path=/extra
Device extra added to c1
stgraber@castiana:~$ incus storage volume snapshot create default c1-extra test
Error: Direct snapshots are not allowed for dependent volumes
stgraber@castiana:~$ incus snapshot create c1 foo
stgraber@castiana:~$ incus storage volume snapshot list default c1-extra
+------+----------------------+------------+

stgraber@castiana:~$ incus storage volume snapshot list default c1-extra
+------+----------+------------+
| NAME | TAKEN AT | EXPIRES AT |
+------+----------+------------+

FreeBSD VM support

Incus now supports running its agent on FreeBSD.
Similar to the MacOS support, this relies on a network connection between Incus and the agent, requiring the VM to run on an Incus-managed network.

Daily builds of FreeBSD 14 and 15 are availabe on our image server.

stgraber@castiana:~$ incus launch images:freebsd/15.0 bsd -c security.secureboot=false --vm
Launching bsd
stgraber@castiana:~$ incus wait bsd agent && incus exec bsd sh
# freebsd-version·
15.0-RELEASE

NOTE: It may take a little while before all packagers include the need build recipe for the FreeBSD agent, leading to some Incus 6.23 systems being unable to get a shell out of the box. Rebooting the VM into single user mode will allow setting up a root password and using it through the console.

Reworked CLI parser

The main command line parser for the incus command has gone through a few improvements. It now has much better errors to indicate what argument may be wrong or missing as well as colored output to improve the legibility of the help messages.

Support for disabling DHCP announcement of the gateway

It’s now possible to set ipv4.dhcp.gateway to the special none value to have Incus configure its DHCP server to only configure IP addresses but not push any routes.

This can be particularly useful when some instances are connected to multiple networks with some of those networks not meant to route traffic to the outside world.

Support for ipv4.dhcp.gateway on OVN networks

Related to the previous feature, OVN now also supports ipv4.dhcp.gateway, including the new special none value.

This allows having another instance or machine on the OVN network act as the gateway in place of the virtual router, or configuring the OVN DHCP service to not advertised a default route at all.

Support for io.bus on OVN NICs

It’s now possible to use io.bus with OVN NICs.

This effectively allows adding a USB network interface to a VM and have it be connected to an OVN network.

VM agent lifecycle events

Two new lifecycle events have been added in this release:

  • instance-agent-started
  • instance-agent-stopped

The events should be pretty self-explanatory. They are limited to Incus VMs and will be emitted as soon as Incus receives an agent notification over the serial connection.

Reworked incus file pull and incus storage volume file pull

The file pulling logic in both commands has been updated to match behavior with the popular cp command.

This specifically relates to handling of symlinks with the following options being now supported:

  • -L (Always follow symbolic links in source path)
  • -H (Follow command-line symbolic links in source path)
  • -P (Never follow symbolic links in source path)

Project related metrics

Some new metrics have been added to provide for project-wide statistics.

stgraber@castiana:~/Code/lxc/incus (git:lxc/main)$ incus query /1.0/metrics | grep _project_
# HELP incus_project_resources_total Current resource count in a project.

incus_project_resources_total{project="user-1001",resource="storage-volumes"} 0

Instance low-level repair API

A new API-only endpoint was introduced at /1.0/instances/NAME/debug/repair.
This allows Incus to expose some low-level repair actions that may need to be run especially in restricted environments where a user can’t directly go look at the instance on-disk configuration or storage (IncusOS is a good example of that).

Currently a single action is supported, rebuild-config-volume which is available for instances using QCOW2 block storage on the clustered LVM driver and as the name suggests, allows for completely rebuilding the configuration volume to recover from specific btrfs corruption issues that may occur from a host power loss event.

Congratulations for the new release,

I have tested the bsd for arm release but get the following message, can you enlighten us on this matter?

Regards.

qemu-system-aarch64: warning: 9p: degraded performance: a reasonable high msize should be chosen on client/guest side (chosen msize is <= 8192). See https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup#msize for details.

That message isn’t something to worry about, it just indicates that the agent drive was mounted with sub-optimal permissions.

As mentioned in the announcement, not all packages include the agent binaries yet, the next Zabbly stable package update will include them (they’re currently only in daily).
