Incus, OCI and s6

1

Hi I was just playing around with the newly introduced OCI compatibility feature, pulled a couple of Linuxserver images only to realise they all pretty much fail across the board. The common ground for what appears to be most, if not all, linuxserver images is that they use s6 overlay and based on the logs things aren’t looking too happy. Errors ranging from pid1 to being unable to get file descriptors (get_state).

incus info --show-log

--console

Have your read this thread Incus unable to start/run (docker) container natively: ‘Error: stat /proc/-1: no such file or directory’?

The issue is known, there is a workaround and with the next stable release 6.4 it will be working out of the box. OCI support is still in early stages.

nope, searched for s6 nothing came up so here we are.

thanks for the heads up, much appreciated!
