This release includes the long awaited OCI/Docker image support!
With this, users who previously were either running Docker alongside Incus or Docker inside of an Incus container just to run some pretty simple software that’s only distributed as OCI images can now just do it directly in Incus.

In addition to the OCI container support, this release also comes with:
- Baseline CPU definition within clusters
- Filesystem support for io.bus and io.cache
- Improvements to incus top
- CPU flags in server resources
- Unified image support in incus-simplestreams
- Completion of libovsdb transition
The full announcement and changelog can be found here.

You can take the latest release of Incus up for a spin through our online demo service at: https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/try-it/
And as always, my company is offering commercial support on Incus, ranging from by-the-hour support contracts to one-off services on things like initial migration from LXD, review of your deployment to squeeze the most out of Incus or even feature sponsorship. You’ll find all details of that here: https://zabbly.com/incus
Donations towards my work on this and other open source projects is also always appreciated, you can find me on Github Sponsors, Patreon and Ko-fi.
Enjoy!
A really nice feature for increasing adoption!
I wish there was an OpenWRT package for Incus. With OCI images it would make a lot more software available for home automation.
Right now I use containerd + nerdctl on OpenWRT to run Home Assistant and a load-balancer for services that run at the server side.
I can see how this could evolve into a cluster with members running both on servers and routers.
