Install debian 11 arm64 into a x86_64 host

Incus
1

Hi All

I have a ubuntu server 24.04 and incus 6.17.

All images amd64 are runnning smoothly. Now I’m trying to install a debian 11 arm64 with incus. I already install packages qemu-system-arm qemu-system-aarch64.

Create a profile and a storage for it. But when a run command below it show me an error:

incus launch images:debian/11/arm64 teste -p teste -s teste --vm
Launching teste
Error: Failed instance creation: Failed creating instance record: Requested architecture isn’t supported by this host

Yes my machine is different from image that I ‘m trying to install but I am using –vm to support this.

Simos talk about this 2024:

Here about incus an Virtual machines :slight_smile:

I read something about and at this site someone could install without any comments:

What am I missing???

Thanks in advance

This is a container not a vm.
see Support running container of foreign architecture · Issue #2266 · lxc/incus · GitHub

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, new at some other architectures…

humm ok a container. But it would be possible to install a debian arm64 as virtual machine using Incus at a x86_64?

I think no one has invented working cross architecture vitualization yet.

I think you can run in full emulation mode. But this will hell slow.

thanks I’ll try using emulation mode and test if it works properly.
