Introducing ixui: A Proxmox/ESXi-Style Web UI for Incus

, ,

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share a new project I’ve been working on: ixui, an open-source web UI for Incus. The design draws inspiration from Proxmox and VMware ESXi, aiming to let you manage your entire Incus setup without needing to touch the CLI.

:warning: Pre-alpha notice: ixui is in early, pre-alpha development. Expect missing features, rough edges, and breaking changes. Please don’t rely on it to manage production Incus servers yet.

Some of the key features:

  • Full instance management — create and monitor instances from start to finish
  • A built-in file browser for each instance
  • A terminal that opens directly from the UI
  • Comprehensive network, storage, and image management
  • Cluster support, with live instance status updates over WebSocket (no page refresh needed)

The project is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. It’s still in an early, pre-alpha stage, so expect rough edges, feedback and contributions are very welcome.
