Hey
Im running Incus on a NixOs (25.11) host and one Nixos (25.11) guest. When I issue “sudo incus admin shutdown” on the host it seems systemd tries to restart it and then end up in some dhcp renewal loop. I guess the dhcp renewal part is a secondary problem here and I just want systemd to stop try to restart Incus when I turned it off deliberately.
