Incus, Docker and Debian

1

I’m currently running Incus 6.0.4 under Debian 13 but it seems 6.0.4 has no oci (docker) container support.

Can I install a docker capable incus via one of the zabbly repos? If its only in the daily repos then I think I’ll give it a miss until it gets into the stable repo.

Is incus docker support considered stable? Will I be able to pass through NVIDIA MIG devices to incus docker containers?

The Zabbly stable repository will get you OCI support.

Zabbly repositories have three versions:

  • lts-6.0 (basically the same features as what you get from Debian, just a slightly newer version of it)
  • stable (monthly releases)
  • daily (development builds)

Incus OCI containers use the same logic as Incus system containers, so the GPU passthrough stuff works the same way. You may run into some issues with nvidia.runtime=true if you’re using that today though as not all OCI images have a suitable structure, but it’s something we could look into more if you run into a problem.
