I moved my Proxmox single node home-prod setup to Incus over the last couple of weeks.

Incus feels a lot less…legacy? Old school? Something.

Not a lot different when it gets down to it though. It’s easier to work at the CLI with Incus. Backups are a little less straight forward.

Proxmox isn't legacy, far from it.

I see Incus also uses/used LXC, which has been my main gripe with Proxmox; I'm intimately familiar with building Docker/Podman images but have never built an LXC.

Now that Incus has shutdown the image server[0] is there a decent source for LXC images? I've often struggled to find ready-made images for a lot of things I want to deploy on Proxmox, and if I was to move away, I'd probably want something that uses Docker/Podman for when I don't want to deploy a VM.

For people who might be confused, Incus is what used to be LXD. It used to be a Canonical project but people who didn't like their direction forked it an made much easier to install as well. (It was only available on Snap for a long time) I think the main developer uses opensuse so their rpm packages are pretty good.

As for LXD/Incus itself, I sincerely believe it's good software and I like their CLIs a lot more but for my own purposes i've moved to using proxmox, or lxc directly.
