Incus launch errors with "Error: Failed instance creation: Unsupported protocol: oci"

Hey everyone,

Just sharing a few notes in case others land on this thread and run into the same issue I did:

  • Support for OCI (Open Container Initiative) images was introduced in Incus 6.3 (July 2024), so make sure to check your installed version using the incus version command.
  • Also, ensure you’re using the stable repository for installation and updates, since the LTS repository only covers the 6.0.x series.

Hope this helps!
