Incus Cluster Upgrade

Incus

I have noticed that when upgrading versions of incus in a cluster that the “apt upgrade” hangs. Also, often it is necessary to do:

apt dist-upgrade

to get incus upgrades to process.

The workaround to get an upgrade to complete on a cluster has been:

systemctl stop *incus*
apt dist-upgrade
reboot

Is this expected?

Nope, I’ve never had things fully hang during a cluster upgrade, but you need to make sure that all servers in the cluster are running the update at the same time, otherwise the servers will wait until all others are on the same version.

I have the same issue. apt hangs:

Setting up incus (6.0.1-1~bpo12+1) ...
incus-user.service is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it.

Progress: [ 94%] [#############################################################################################################################################################...........]

Eventually it finished and I could reboot the server. This happens when upgrading from incus 6.0.0 to 6.0.1 in Debian 12 using the backported incus package.
