Public incus image server

1

Hi Everyone,

I want to setup a temporary incus image server for academic purposes.

From Default image server - Incus documentation

Public Incus servers
Incus servers that are used solely to serve images and do not run instances themselves.
To make an Incus server publicly available over the network on port 8443, set the core.https_address configuration option to :8443 and do not configure any authentication methods (see How to expose Incus to the network for more information). Then set the images that you want to share to public

Looking for references about how to NOT configure any authentication methods, only TLS based and other auth methos.

Any help appreciated.

Tx.

If you use an Incus installation as an image server, make sure images are marked with public: true, then you can add the image server with incus remote add some-name URL --public and will be able to see and use the public images.

For something more intensive, then you can run a static web server and use incus-simplestreams to generate the filesystem tree for an image server like the one we run for everyone.
